Various Photos

Some photos from all over the place - been meaning to upload them for ages. Hope you like them. Is always an adventure to take photos and share them with other people that may not have seen the same things as me. Enjoy!

The rainforest in Mossman Gorge (far north Queensland) - part of the heritage listed Daintree Rainforest in far north Queensland.

Some lovely eucalypt flowers from Western Australia. I love gum nuts, gum blossoms and gum leaves - have millions of them all through the house!

Lovely little daises from the West Australian bush.

Sand. Always beautiful when there are lots of colours. Look also at the excellent sparkly bits! This is from Horseshoe Bay at Bowen in far north Queensland.

Some groovy wattle in Western Australia that is on long sticks instead of the little yellow pom poms I usually associate with wattle.

A kangaroo paw (this one is in the Kings Park Botanic Garden in Perth). I have only seen them in the wild once (on the road to Nannup about 3 and a half hours south of Perth).

This is from a palm tree in the Daintree Rainforest (world heritage area in far north Queensland).

Oh, Horseshoe Bay. This one is on Magnetic Island (off Townsville). Very pretty.

More leaves. These were spiny and hard and VERY beautiful. Love the light and shadow on them - they are quite boring in real life, but the silvery foliage makes them look a million dollars!

This is from Tubo Lodge, on Lake Kutubu in the highlands in Papua New Guinea. I can never remember the name of the plant. Loved the variegated leaves.

Lowly palm frond. It had fallen off (as they do) and was laying on the ground in the bush at Minyon Falls, northern New South Wales. Very beautiful colours and contrast.

These two pictures are from another Horseshoe Bay, this one at Bowen in far north Queensland. It is just one of the Horseshoe Bays in the world, but it is the most beautiful one I have seen so far.

I love pictures of leaves and bark so there are lots of these in my collection! This is bark from a eucalypt somewhere - can't even remember where any more, but it is still very beautiful.

Who doesn't love frangipanis? This is taken at mum and dad's place. I cheated a bit - it's not actually on the tree, but...

More leaves - from some sort of leafy thing! Love the different colours!
