Geraldton wax ( Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a beautiful flowering Australian native shrub that brings colour to gardens from late winter to spring. As the common name suggests, Geraldton wax comes from Western Australia.
Have a lovely day
Eriostemon australasius commonly known as pink wax flower is a plant in the citrus family Rutaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect, bushy shrub with narrow oblong leaves, and pink flowers with five petals in late winter and early spring. Eriostemon australasius is an erect, bushy shrub which grows to a height of 1–2 m. It has simple leaves that are narrow oblong in shape, 20–80 millimetres long, 8–14 millimetres long and are covered with tiny star-like hairs when young, although the hairs may only be visible with a magnifying glass. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils, mostly near the ends of the branches, on a stalk 4–12 millimetres long. At the base of each flower are five to twelve sepal-like bracteoles. There are five pink to reddish petals which are about 18 millimetres long and are covered with similar hairs to those on the leaves, but become smooth with maturity. Flowering occurs in late winter and early spring. Pink wax flower grows in heathland and dry eucalyptus woodlands from Lake Conjola on the New South Wales south coast northwards along the coast to Fraser Island in Queensland. 40003

The skinny Waxing Crescent Moon, January 23,2023 at about 6:15 this evening. The sun was just far enough below the horizon that the sky was a deep purple for the exposure values I had set. Two shot composite so I could get the moon and the tree in focus at the same time.
Waxing Gibbous Moon with craters, one of which is called the Copernicus crater which you can see prominently on my photo Copernicus H crater with subtle dark-halo.

We bought Yuki a rubber frisbee to play with and she loves it. When she picks it up and runs it looks like the wax lips we used to buy when I was a kid.

Geraldton wax is its name and it was discovered in Geraldton a coastal city in the Mid West region of the Australian state of Western Australia.

A group of Wax Caps that grow regularly on the back garden, among lots of other fungi, it would seem. But I always like to see them.

Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!
I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.

A bonus on this sunset was enjoying the moon rise over the mountains. I had not planned to shoot but turned my camera for a quick shot.
In the foreground are seafoam and traces of salt, but mostly seafoam from the previous days' winds.
The moon was 95.28% visible - to get a more dramatic shot, a much longer lens would be needed. Visually the moon is only half a degree; a 400-600mm would give a much larger and more dramatic moon.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
No comments today – just enjoy :-)
Wax seals were used to ensure the security and secrecy of important documents. Throughout the ages, they were used by governments and royalty, and each had their own characteristic designs to confirm the identity of the sender.

Stepped out after sunset and was surprised at the coolness in the air after a warm humid day. Then saw my favorite model in crescent form, in the growth, Waxing Crescent....summer has begun. Love the two dots of light off the bottom crescent!
Malvaviscus is distinguished by having auriculate petals and red, fleshy fruits. The generic name is referring to the mucilaginous sap produced by members of the genus. The fruit can be used to make jelly or syrup. Both the fruit and flowers are used to make herbal teas.
