Michael Moxon, The Trees That Wait (May theme: Trees and Plants)

At the edge of an estuary in New South Wales, a quiet stand of mangroves holds its place in the last light of day. Their reflections drift softly across the water, not quite perfect, but still, like memory. There is no wind, no movement, only the trees and their patient silhouettes, rooted between light and tide. In a world that moves quickly, these are the trees that wait.
