Wattles
I was surprised to have not seen many wattles in flower up north, their varieties must flower at a different time of year. They cheer cold winter days down south.
Apparently there are hundreds of varieties of wattle flowering at different times of the year. It has ben said that there is wattle flowering somewhere in Australia every month of the year.
In one of my blogs I recorded how many varieties there are in Australia. It was an astounding number. And yes they do flower at all different times not just in Spring (or winter as they do around these parts)
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
