The Cannonball Tree is a native of Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka or South America and grows well in our tropical northern Australian climate.
The tree is deciduous and large, 50-80 feet. It is said to have special significance in the Buddhist religion.
The amazingly complex flower of the Cannonball Tree is also heavenly scented - a cross between a fine expensive perfume and a wonderful flower scent (remotely like ylang ylang)
The reason the tree is called cannonball is after flowering, large brown fruit balls are formed in the size and shape of cannonballs. I believe that these are toxic.
Here's my latest moc! Sorry for such a long story, but I felt it necessary to give some background for Thomas. Hope you like it!
C&C always welcome!

Best viewed large, on black.
The sun was shining today, :) :) so, inbetween mowing the lawn I decided to see what had emerged in the garden with my macro lens. A bee was struggling through the grass, tiny flowers have emerged and I felt intrigued to explore. Has anyone seen the film 'Honey I shrunk the Kids'?
I'm patiently waiting for our lavender to flower so that the bees return and I'm also keeping a close eye on the bug box I put up in the garden. What a life eh?!
All handheld shots.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.

The story of August Littlefield
nem eu sabia que estava tudo isso lá....ao todo são 1000 e fumaça.....não salvei todos para eu não enjoar......
The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

This shot of a blue heron at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands reminded me of a dream with the black background and "stars." The heron was actually standing next to the water near dusk.
