While wandering through the lovely green Dubai Creek Park I came upon a group of wierd trees. Liz G. said she used to imagine fairies living under spider lillies in her garden. I think gnomes and trolls live under these trees.
wierd trees
I wonder why they grow like this
there must be goblins
beautiful in its own way
gnarled places to hide
in the trunk - it looks like an elephant's eye
I wonder what type of tree they are
I wonder how old they are
There was a spider lily nearby, but it wasn’t as nice as mine.
not as pretty as mine
The park has an incredible number of beautiful birds flying around. I wish they had sat still for some photos.
A tiny blue bird
This little bird was the most gorgeous colour, iridescent blue. It was smaller than a finch and very quick.

in another part of the park
The park is huge and follows the creek. It is definitely worth a visit, if only for the tortured trees and the birds. Let me know if you see any goblins.
