Love the Eryngium but what is that beautiful eucalypt flower?

Wow!
They sure colour up faster than the beach-nesting birds I monitor and protect.

Such adorable birds, aren’t they?
Not as well camouflaged in a Jacaranda as they would be in a eucalypt! 😊

Love these birds but haven’t seen them here in the southeast corner of Australia for the past six years.

Beautifully composed and captured as usual, Adrianna!
The ever so gentle ripples in the water add a beautiful subtle texture to the reflection. 😊

Yes. I thought they were rarely seen in the ACT 25 years ago.

Most of us would have just walked past this scene without noticing its beauty Adrianna! 😊
But your creative eye composed and captured an intriguing image!

Haven’t tried this one before.
Are they always this easy? 😊
