Yesterday I found myself at Healesville Sanctuary and one of the things I was hoping to do was take some photos of flowers there. I even packed my macro lens.
Let me tell you what I found, 3 flowers. It seems I was too late for them. At Healesville it is all about Australian flora and fauna and our plants tend to not blossom in summer, not really. They preserve what they can to keep alive. It seems like we have had a hot summer this year. It has been horrible, bring on winter.
Because I didn’t really get any flowers, I decided to find some old ones that I have posted before. I hope you like them.
Lovely shots!
Thank you Sharon.
Great
Thanks
Flowers always give soothing energy. They are always lovely. Beautifully captured, leanne
Thank you Hazel.I agree, they are just wonderful.
You’re always welcome, Leanne. Stay awesome!
You’re very kind to say that Hazel.
The world needs kindness, and I’m glad my words illuminate kindness. Love and light to you, Leanne.
It really does, more now than ever. YOu take care Hazel and shine your light too.
Thank you so much, leanne.
Don’t you hate it when you get all set to shoot somewhere, and you go and find it’s not all what you expected and there’s nothing to shoot?! I like your feature image a lot.
Oh absolutely, sadly it seems to happen to me too often. Thankfully there were plenty of animals to shot, well take photos of anyway. Thank you Joanne.
Fantastic collection.
Thank you Michael.
You’re welcome, Leanne.
Beautiful photography!
Thank you Maggy.
I didn’t notice the flora so much when we were there. We were on the lookout for the fauna which was something that we don’t see often.
Yeah, I can understand that, though when it is flowering it is quite beautiful. Though if you are new to our fauna then it could be distracting. Thank you.
it’s often a matter of luck and timing, but you still have some very pretty shots
That’s for sure Beth, I should have gone last October or there abouts. Thank you.
And I’m tired of winter! Beautiful florals from your archives.
I suspect that, especially for photography, March to October, maybe a bit shorter is the best time for most countries around the world. Thank you Anne.
Beautiful
Thank you Joke.
