Things are pretty laid back in Australia. We don't rush too much. Especially, this Grass Tree (xanthorrhoea johnsonii), which we see on our walk in the forrest. They grow at a rate of 1 centimetre a year, that's a metre a century. This is probably a couple of metres tall. They live to about 600 years old. You can learn more here. They realise that there is no point rushing around madly, much better to get the job done in the end.
Life is great when you take your time.

I really love that shot of the grass tree. For anyone else taking a peek at your post, I highly recommend clicking to enlarge it. Then, I highly recommend taking your time to ENJOY it!
Life is really great. This tree is very strange. Hairy hair. Feel like a sniper wearing the camouflage clothes. :)

I have an award for you today, hon' - hope you can accept it for you and the Woozle (i.e. Ruby Isabella)! x
Wow, that's amazing! Thanks for sharing.
What a cool tree, Ruby! I totally agree with you - and my humans think so too (that's why they moved out Down Under) - people on this side of the world have the right idea: take things easy..."she'll be right, mate!":)
Slobbers,
