In the early mornings, many people are out walking in Albert Park. Most have dogs with them, but not all.

Near the Conduit Road entrance, the large rose tree is in full bloom. It’s a great choice for its scent, and the bees are busy among the flowers. Trinity Church had its 150th Anniversary in June.

On one leaf, a snail has found a perch.

Further round the park stands a ginkgo tree, with its distinctive leaves.

There are also two Indian bean trees, with upright white blossoms similar to those of chestnut trees. Their long, bean-like seed pods hang beneath.

Pine cones are ripening.

Some of the evergreens have shed their leaves. Other trees have let seed chaff fall – a soft cover for parts of the path.

A crow ambles across the dry grass and path.

And at the end of the day, on one of the longest evenings of the year, Albert stands with the sun setting behind him.

The trees are silhouetted against the sky, and a swirl of clouds catches the last light.
