used a 3 stops NiSi soft GND filter and stopped down a lot for the sunburst effect.
Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)
A young inflorescence (flower spike) of the swamp Banksia, Banksia robur. It is less than 2cm tall surrounded by brown hairy bracts. When mature, the flower spikes may be up to 15cm tall.
The inflorescence consists of hundreds of small flowers arranged in pairs. The flowers change colour as they grow. A photo of an inflorescence in which the flowers are open is below.
As their name suggests they grow in swamps in the wild along the eastern Australian coast but they do well in gardens too.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate faves and comments very much and I am grateful for invitations too.
Wanted a Sunrise, but poor planing meant I didn't get here till gone 10am, it was one of those days when everything went against me.
Nothing like water rushing down a stream with some changing colours to begin ushering in the fall season! Smokey Hallow Waterdown Ontario
I was up early on the day I had a long drive (this picture was taken at 4:00am) and this gave me the chance to see another lovely sunrise. The fishermen in this trawler were obviously up even earlier than I was as they leave for the day's fishing!
Die ersten Vorboten zeigen sich schon. Kein Frost mehr. Die Saison läuft an.
The spring season has started.
I love a good trail. I love it when it pays off with some wonderful scenery or just opens your mind to the world around you.

Sure, start on your journey.
But you are so far away...
No, we just took some steps down the road. It's the journey that matters.
I know... but I still want to touch the clouds...
One day... some day...
Don't forget that the journey matters, the moments on the road and the other travelers you'll meet on your journey will define you...
The moments you want to stop and go back but you take one more step... those are the moments that get you closer to the clouds...
One day... some day...
Continued from I see clouds...
Tiny snail Brian fearlessly negotiates the gap between the spathes of two calla lilies - a spathe is not a petal, but a modified leaf that encloses the true flowers on the spadix inside the calla.
For Smile on Saturday theme 'Starts with S', in this case the snail and the two spathes. The image was shot against a dark background, but allowing sunshine to provide the back light that showed off the translucence of the white spathes and the tiny body of the snail.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
