This bush has flowered for at least the last 30 years, but as I don’t live here in Bala I’m not sure whether it’s a fruit bearing bush or not. What I do know is that the bees were around it the other evening and the splash of colour it provides early in the spring is welcomed.
Up early ( for me on holiday at least) this morning to get another ride in before too many in this part of the world get up and out.
Thanks for stopping
Glory bush, Lasiandra or princess flower (Tibouchina urvilleana), a native of Brazil, grown widely as a garden plant.
I didn't appreciate the intricacy of these flowers until I photographed them. There are 10 stamens. Five stamens are longer than the others. The pollen is released from a pore at the tip of the anthers which are clawlike. The anthers also act a landing pad for bees which in the wild pollinate the flowers by buzz pollination which involves the bee grabbing onto the flower and moving their flight muscles rapidly, causing the flower and anthers to vibrate, dislodging pollen.

The fantastic Bush Stone-curlew! Before I went to Far North Queensland, I had no idea these birds were so active at night! During the day they are generally inactive, usually sheltering in vegetation or the like & remaining very still. However, once the sun has set, these birds come to life as they dart around on the hunt for insects. Fascinating to watch, even if their eerie wailing calls can be somewhat disconcerting in the middle of the night!
My camp site at Rules Beach Bush Camp October 2019 on an expedition evaluating local real estate on offer.
Now closed it was a great retro camping experience with almost no lack of amenities left out of the experience !!
It also had the distinction of being further from the beach than any other beach camp.
Did I mention the great clouds of sand flies and mosquitos to keep you entertained at morning and dusk and the smelly algae filled dam they bred them in.
What an experience, it left me scratching for weeks.

Bush Cicadas are also known as Grand Western Cicadas. Found in the Great Plains and the Southwest. The males call females with a loud buzzing drone that trails off and then starts up again. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
The bush chat is a small passerine bird found ranging from West Asia and Central Asia to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. About sixteen subspecies are recognized through its wide range with many island forms. It is a familiar bird of countryside and open scrub or grassland where it is found perched at the top of short thorn trees or other shrubs, looking out for insect prey. They pick up insects mainly from the ground.
They nest in cavities in stone walls or in holes in an embankment, lining the nest with grass and animal hair. The males are black with white shoulder and vent patches whose extent varies among populations. Females are predominantly brownish while juveniles are speckled.

These birds like to congregate in small groups, on the ground. When alerted they will walk away very slowly, freeze in position, or just lay down on the ground. They will fly away only when really pressed. About knee height, when standing.

I really like berries and I don't think it has anything to do with my name either. :-D It's the sight of berries, so often bright red, that seem to add a note of healthy abundance to the landscape......and they're just so cheerful. These High Bush Cranberries are everywhere at the moment and the birds will feed on them throughout the winter.

Quick update on My Mum after her stroke, she came home yesterday from hospital . She’s a bit of recovery still to do but she has my Dad looking after her.
When Paul & Andre told me that we were going to stay at the "Bush Camp", I was thinking of some very rudimentary accommodation, and what was not my surprise when I saw those 5-stars facilities!
5 exposures handheld HDR tonemapped with Dynamic Photo HDR. Blended back the +1EV exposure for the foreground and did some color correction.
Please check Paul's (panorama_paul) and André's (andreinafrica) photostreams for more great shots of that fantastic 2-days outing in the bush!

Autumn is my favourite season and I did not have to go far for this photo as we have this Burning Bush in our back garden.
