A Bleak Day's Shooting

Today I took a day off & walked part of Noosa National Park. Really flat lighting, but I spotted a couple of interesting images.
No.1 was also on a day off & went down to the beach to lay back, relax & read a book in comfort.
No.2 was looking like it was hanging on to life in a most tenacious manner with the cold wind blowing. I was not sure about the twigs at the base of the tree, but decided to leave them in as they sort of looked like bleached bones (tough life here).
Any ideas?
