Etta & a beautiful bright Boronia.
Our bush doesn't generally have bright greens but some of the flowers really stand out. This bright pink end of Winter stunner is Boronia ledifolia, Sydney Boronia.
Daily Dog Challenge: Colourful
Hardenbergia violaceae (Purple Pea) in amongst the wattle flowers. The bush is awash with colour right now. Spring has come early this year.

The Bush stone-curlew is an Australian species and inhabits open plains and woodlands. Apparently they are mainly nocturnal which explains why they usually don't move much whenever I see them in the aviary at our zoo. :)
Between Mesa, Arizona and Fountain Hills, Arizona lies a vast open space that includes beautiful mountains and the Salt River. If you look to the southeast from the river, you find views like this as the sun rises on the horizon.
I got a new tripod recently and it's opened up new opportunities to show more of the dynamic range of the views I'm seeing on my excursions. What a difference a tripod makes!
Not sure what was going on with this youngster, but as I passed it, it seemed alone and forlorned hiding there in the deep brush. Maybe it had somehow gotten separated from its mother. Or, hopefully, it was simply waiting for its mother to return.
I moved on and hoped for the best for it...
We all love nature and its animals, but they don't have it easy and it's tough to live a high quality life in the wild! All the more reason we should do our best to live peaceably and reasonable with our wild animal friends.
There are several varieties of Australian Christmas Bush and all are supposed to flower in December. Mine must have missed out on that instruction, having already turned a corner of the yard red, with masses of red brachts enclosing much smaller white flowers. Another image from my INDUSTAR-22 5cm f3.5 collapsible lens. Wide open and extended. The white flowers are about 1cm across.
A dead bush that has been put beside the cyclone fence for later, We are looking out through a cyclone fence under a roofed area out to a unfinished and unroofed area under the old Mitsubishi car factory in Tonsley Park. The huge factory area is being repurposed bit by bit.

The bush stone-curlew or bush thick-knee is a large, ground-dwelling bird endemic to Australia. Its favoured habitat is open plains and woodlands, where it stalks slowly at night in search of invertebrates such as insects. Its grey-brown coloration is distinguished by dark streaks, its eyes are large and legs are long. It is capable of flight, but relies on the camouflage of its plumage to evade detection during the day; the bush curlew adopts a rigid posture when it becomes aware of an observer.
First image from my INDUSTAR-22 5CM f3.5 collapsible lens. Wide open at MFD with slight crop. A fun little lens with quite acceptable IQ imho.
Wing-buds not reversed, so at least two more moults before adulthood - possibly a couple more than that.
