A couple of things about yesterday. The first one is called a Bottle Brush Tree. It's proper name is Callistemon. I'm not sure if it is native to Australia. I always thought is was growing up, but don't quote me on that. I think you can tell why we call it a bottle brush tree.
Yep, the second one is a cactus. It's a pretty ordinary looking plant really, but this angle made it look really cool.
I am actually from Australia, so it was a trip home to see the family. We took the whole camera kit since my hisband is into photography too. The macro shots I took though were all in the in laws back yard.
Here are a couple more.
The first one is the handle of a rusty old Hills Hoist. Better know to the rest of you as a clothes line. I live in NY so I don't know if you have these sort in the rest of the country. I'll leave you guessing on the second one.

That hoist is awesome. I love old stuff like that.
I've never seen a clothes line hoist! How fun. NO idea on what the green lime-looking thing is...interesting with the white "knob" protruding.
Whatever they are, they make awesome shots!
Beautiful photography! I have never heard of the hoist either. As for the green? looks like a lime having a moment.
wonderful macros
Love the rustic feel of the hoist - never seen a clothes line like that!! As for the second shot... a lime or an olive tree??!!
Oh fun captures. That second one must be a bud of soem sort, even though it looks like a Lime..
Ooh, I love the rusty hoist! The 2nd looks like a lime but I've never actually seen a lime on a tree so I wouldn't know, lol!
Such cool shots. Love both of these.
