My little brother enjoying himself in the field by throwing leaves around. Notice the complementary colours in this shot? The red leaves with the green trees and the blue sky with the orangey ground.

Our Daily Challenge ... complementary colours ... red and green but there's even a hint of blue and orange!

 

I took some photos of the She Oak seed pods earlier this year and realised that I had never noticed the flowers. The flowers are only small but they stand out against the green leaves.

Bottle Brush is a member of the genus Callistemon, a genus of shrubs and trees from Australia known as bottlebrushes and belongs to the family Myrtaceae. They are closely related to paperbark melaleucas, which also have 'bottlebrush' shaped flower spikes. Bottlebrushes can be found growing from Australia's tropical north to the temperate south. They often grow in damp or wet conditions such as along creek beds or in areas which are prone to floods. The flower spikes of bottlebrushes form in spring and summer and are made up of a number of individual flowers. The pollen of the flower forms on the tip of a long coloured stalk called a filament. It is these filaments which give the flower spike its colour and distinctive 'bottlebrush' shape. The filaments are usually yellow or red; sometimes the pollen also adds a bright yellow flush to the flower spikes. Each flower produces a small woody fruit containing hundreds of tiny seeds. These fruits form in clusters along the stem, and are usually held on the plant for many years. The seeds are usually not released from the fruits for several years, but in some species the fruits open after about a year. Fire also stimulates the opening of the fruits in some bottlebrushes. The new leaves of many bottlebrushes are very ornamental. The leaves are often coloured and, in some species, they are covered with fine, soft hairs.

Bottlebrushes are among the hardiest of Australian native plants. They are long lived, require minimal maintenance and are almost impossible to kill. The flowers attract native birds, especially honey eaters, and reward the gardener with extraordinary amounts of colour. The original bottlebrushes available to gardeners were all bold red but flower colours now range from red to pink, mauve, cream and green.

Troy again I'm sorry. Well, I'm not really haha. I caught this as he was quickly turning his head, hence the flared out ears (and title). View On Black

These turned bobbins form the case for a sharp bodkin or awl, so I suspect they were intended for some rather rougher thread...

Out-take for TAFE assignment on complementary colours

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly - Complementary colours

 

What it took: Planted the coreopsis & the agapanthus, waited a year for someone to set the assignment, waited some more for the right weather, waited some more the right light, waited just a little more for a break in the wind.

No. 12 in a month long series using an SMC PENTAX-M 28mm f2 lens.

ODC "Complementary Colours"

 

This is a macro shot of the logo on a "Credit Book" with sales dated Mar/66 to Aug/67. Credit books were used prior to the introduction of credit cards. They contained a series of cards what were printed with the credit account holder's name etc, and athe card was completed with the date and amount of the sale, signed by the customer and removed from the booklet. They were then redeemed by the dealer for gasoline purchases and went to the accounting office and a monthly statement was prepared for the customer to pay.

 

The largest purchase recorded is for $4.93 including $3.78 for gasoline, $.80 for oil and $.35 for KleenFlo.

 

The book could also be used at Holiday Inns.
