POTD June 1st

Thanks for comments on yesterday. Many of you were close. The second photo is actually a very small lemon bud. I thought it looked really interesting.

These are the last two from the back yar. The first one is some tendrills off some kind of wierd plant. The second is is obviously from a rose bush.

POTD May 31st

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.

POTD May 30

I've been away in Australia so I haven't uploaded in ages. I will try to get back on track. These are some pictures I took with my new macro lens while we were away.

POTD April 9

These are a couple that I actually took last week, before my macro arrived, I just didn't get a chance to upload them. Just a couple of pretty flowers.
