Photo for today September 24th


The Colours of Spring




The headland at the end of our street is alive, at the moment, with native, spring wildflowers. I made it my mission, over the last week, to get out with the camera and photograph them before they all dissappeared, as they can so quickly do. You will find a link to an album to accompany this blog below - please note that I have no idea of their names but they are beautiful anyway with or without a name. I might make n effort to look them up sometime in the future.

  7. Is your spring as cold as ours Keith? Another really lousy day today and I so wanted to work in my garden. I have seen your album already this morning. Stunning!

  8. not at all - it gets down to 3C in the coldest part of the night in winter and usually about 16c during the day. The springs here are warm - the last few days were 26c - 30c.

  10. Oh, I like the way you have managed to get the impression of 3D in your first photo. That is the difficulty when doing an overview of flowers the way a camera makes them 2 dimensional and become like a multi-coloured carpet. We don't have wild flowers like yours. I know that our travel agencies here promote a special trip just to see your wild flowers in spring.

  11. Great shots to one which is certainly one of a kind with the camera. Your heading into spring while I am within Autumn...
    But it's all good and I do wish to the gent behind the camera a very happy birthday...
