Here's some of mine...

 

A couple more flowers.

Try again to get it in the right place - brain is not working as it should tonight!

Here is another favourite of mine.

Yes Boroma. Otherwise the NZ silver fern.

 I thought it was just a tree fern. I took the pic up in Eungella west of Mackay.  Always loved the new growth.

I have another pic of a different one I also took on the same day.

By the beach today.

Just found page 2 - and I'm absolutely loving all the beautiful macros! This was the best idea, Boroma! The ferns, the butterflies, the bees, the flowers, shells - just gorgeous!

And Gerty Dancer, if I still had my Bowen Therapy practice, I would have your pic enlarged, framed, and on the wall of my clinic. It's such a pretty, delicate and peaceful looking shot.

That's a gorgeous yellow, Boroma - pity it wasn't a closer shot though. I would have loved to have seen its individual tufts. Is it a NZ flower? It actually looks like a cross between a bottle brush and a wattle flower!

It was the tiniest yellow flower on a bush in the outback Romy, at Roxby Downs to be precise....could not get any closer at all with my camera which is only a point and shoot anyhow.  I think it is in the wattle family but that is only a guess on my part.

More flowers

Here are a couple good close up shots for you Romy

Here's some more I found.

 What's with the spit in the tree, Boroma?

Not sure it is spit Romy as we know it though I agree that is what it looks like. 

I found a couple of trees down by the creek that had this unusual substance in them and of course photographed one of them.

From memory there had been a heavy fog that morning and the pic was taken before 10am.  I imagine some animal/bird/critter was responsible for it but that is purely a guess on my part. 

NO, I don't think it was human related.

Like you, Boroma, John and I have hundreds of macros between us, many taken in WA's wildflower country. The first one here, though, was taken in a NSW garden.
