Loving the bark, Pricey! It almost looks like a beautiful collage - Mother Nature at her best.
That's a gorgeous yellow, Boroma - pity it wasn't a closer shot though. I would have loved to have seen its individual tufts. Is it a NZ flower? It actually looks like a cross between a bottle brush and a wattle flower!
I'll show you one of a pinky/red bottle brush of mine that I took in my front yard just as they were beginning to flower last year, and you'll see what I mean about really close up enough (macro) to see the individual tufts.

Just found page 2 - and I'm absolutely loving all the beautiful macros! This was the best idea, Boroma! The ferns, the butterflies, the bees, the flowers, shells - just gorgeous!
And Gerty Dancer, if I still had my Bowen Therapy practice, I would have your pic enlarged, framed, and on the wall of my clinic. It's such a pretty, delicate and peaceful looking shot.

It was the tiniest yellow flower on a bush in the outback Romy, at Roxby Downs to be precise....could not get any closer at all with my camera which is only a point and shoot anyhow. I think it is in the wattle family but that is only a guess on my part.
My first and only tatt! It had only been freshly done in the pic (last year) and the colours have now softened to pretty pinks and blues.

What's with the spit in the tree, Boroma?
Not sure it is spit Romy as we know it though I agree that is what it looks like.
I found a couple of trees down by the creek that had this unusual substance in them and of course photographed one of them.
From memory there had been a heavy fog that morning and the pic was taken before 10am. I imagine some animal/bird/critter was responsible for it but that is purely a guess on my part.
NO, I don't think it was human related.

Like you, Boroma, John and I have hundreds of macros between us, many taken in WA's wildflower country. The first one here, though, was taken in a NSW garden.
That spit in the tree, has it got something to do with frogs, maybe a froth of frogs eggs. Its very unusual but certainly something left behind by an animal. Like caviar or roe from fish.
And more
Here's some of mine...
LOVE the bee in the middle shot gubby
A couple more flowers.
And here is a critter...
Try again to get it in the right place - brain is not working as it should tonight!
Heres one of mine...
I love this form of photography as it allows me to see details which are lacking with my eyesight.
Here is another favourite of mine.
Is that what it is called HW??
I thought it was just a tree fern. I took the pic up in Eungella west of Mackay. Always loved the new growth.
I have another pic of a different one I also took on the same day.
At the beach today.
By the beach today.
