Kunzea nuts
An early start for us today - we're going visiting
and staying overnight because of the distance.
I will catch up with all of your pad shots on our return.
Here's shot I took yesterday
of some dead leaves on a dryandra
(best viewed in original)
and an old shot of the kunzea flower

Up close...
Stattice grows wild self-seeding and popping up here and
there. Dick is careful when he mows not to mow over the
little clumps of plants. Apart from that they get no
special treatment. Here is a shot of the vine leaf
the stattice is sitting on for the photo...

From below
Under the dappled shadows of a huge golden elm
this rose caught my eye...
and here's the tiniest little bloom, only 15-mms in length
on a trailing ivy-like hanging potplant
best seen in original
and an early chrysanthemum

Red, red rose...
An Australian bred rose using old
tea roses to breed with, it has
a delightful fragrance! I've ordered
4 of them for my garden.
Here's a grevillea - a photo I took
while visiting our nephew yesterday
the shrub was covered in these
blooms & abuzz with bees

Old tractor
It still goes - and belongs to our nephew
who's farm we visited today
A close up of the light
and some of the workings

Tree with a twisted trunk
A fascinating tree in a windy spot on the side of a hill
Here's the same tree in colour (best seen in original)
and a normal version
and a whole row of them edging a road

Pink "Geranium"
I tossed up whether to put the conker or the "geranium" on top
Here's the conker (which looks much better in original)
and here's our very first camellia for 2006

28th for fragrance!
This top one is an old Hybrid Perpetual which does
best in autumn in our climate
Here's an old tea rosebud covered in raindrops
and a well-known old Bourbon

Shrivelled
Its a spent flower-head of a succulent
but take a look at nature's artwork
in this next shot...
and the knitting I had intended to feature today
It's been raining on and off all day, & its lovely and COOL!

Spent!
Not much left, just a matter of time...
and here's another shot of the same thing
using a green filter minus colour
