52. Wildflowers
Followers my blogs will know I am bit besotted with wildflowers so it was hard to choose but settled on the fringe lily because I just love that fringe.
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.
Stunning photo. Love the intensity of the colour of this native flower
ReplyDeleteGorgeous... and a colour that's so rich and deep :D)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure Joan ....I've never seen a fringe lily before.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beauty. They remind me of when I lived in Sydney and played in the bush. I can't recall seeing them up here.
ReplyDeleteI can see that I am not the only one to enjoy this stunner.
