Weekend Flowers: Grevillea

Grevilleas would have to be one of my favourite Australian native flowers. I love their unique spider-like flowers & the way they unfold.



And here's a very different one.


Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful weekend.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

My week has been full of photography trips to Brisbane City Botanical Gardens, Roma Street Parklands (Brisbane City) & some walks around the neighbourhood. So there were plenty of photos to choose from for the many photo challenges I have entered.

Here are my interpretations of this weeks Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

Macro

 I LOVE the Eastern Water Dragon (those of you who follow me will know that!!) - this one was sunning himself beside the water feature posing for the camera.

Cover
 This "Hardhead" duck seemed to be covering his face under his wing - perhaps he was shy?

Home

To me, family is the epitomy of home. These are my 4 beautiful children who have been an enormous part of my adult life from the age 19, when I had my eldest daughter.
Photo credit of my eldest son, with his young son, goes to my beautiful youngest daughter Bec (RAD Photography).

Found Texture

 I love the texture in this ornamental native grass with its feathery plumes.

Tree

I discovered this interesting tree growing in the Roma Street Parklands.

There you go... my Scavenger Hunt Sunday collection. Thanks for stopping by.

I Heart Macro

This week I have taken a few opportunities to "disappear" out on my own. One of my friends who works as  Life Coach, calls this "self care".

So, armed with my camera, my 2 lenses and a friends 100mm Macro lens, I drove to a lovely suburb along the Brisbane River called Bulimba. This suburb is full of beautiful "Queenslander" homes (I plan to venture out soon to photograph some soon so stay tuned). On this particular day, my plan was to walk along the Bulimba River Walk and shoot away. I came home with almost 250 photos after 2 hours.

Here are a few photos of Native Pigface (Carpobrotus rossii)...
