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.
