Ruby Saltbush (Enchylaena tomentosa) is one of many plant species found in the South Australia. Ruby saltbush is an open, straggling shrub that can grow up to 2m tall when protected by taller shrubs or tree clumps. Grazing commonly limits plant height in the open to 40-50cm. Leaf colour varies from dark blue-green to light shades of silver-grey and silver-green. The leaves often appear succulent and may be hairy or smooth. They are 1-2cm long and narrowly cylindrical. Stems are distinctively marked with parallel lines. The flowers are small, occurring in the leaf axils. The fruits are succulent, and yellow to red. In arid regions, Ruby saltbush is an important feed source for sheep.
Scavenger Challenge- February 2017 Assignment - Close-Up
This month, we're going to focus on close-ups of small objects or details. There are several ways to achieve this, notably with the "macro" feature built in to most cameras. However, sometimes better results can be obtained by standing back and zooming in or using a long lens. Likewise, if your camera has interchangeable lenses, you can use a close-up lens. There are even "macro filters" (I use them in much of my nature photography). But don't get stuck on having to do it all with lenses and settings. Experiment with various magnifying devices, like a microscope or a hand-held magnifier. Getting the focus crisp through an external tool can be tricky, but it can also be a lot of fun. For February 2017, please limit your field of view (what you see through the viewfinder, not a cropped image) to SIX INCHES in width, i.e., the subject of your photo AND area adjacent to it should be no wider than six inches. Anything UNDER six inches is allowable. Although it's not required, I'd like to see you try for extreme close-ups and sharp focus (e.g., stamen detail in a flower center, dates on coins, etc.). The closer the better! And have fun!
I am not very happy with my macro filter results. I do feel that my bad eyesight does let me down when trying to manual focus, but that's life. I am using an old filter that does not fit proper either
Ruby Lake Resort, just south of Earl's Cove, where we spent the next 2 nights. The area is a bird reserve and there were bird boxes throughout the site.

Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species typically only come into contact for the purpose of mating, and both males and females of any age aggressively defend feeding locations within their territory. The aggressiveness becomes most pronounced in late summer to early fall as they fatten up for migration. This is important because, as part of their migration, they must fly across the Gulf of Mexico - a feat which long confounded scientists, as a 500-mile, non-stop flight over water would seemingly require a caloric energy that far exceeds an adult hummingbird's body weight of 3 grams. However, researchers discovered the tiny birds can nearly double their body mass in preparation for their Gulf crossing. The additional mass, stored as fat, provides enough energy for the birds to achieve this amazing flight.
