Bad hair day?

I’ve been watching these Highland Cattle for ages, they get moved from paddock to paddock and are always just out of range.  This was a snatched opportunity when they finally came near enough.  I love the texture of their fur and the huge horns.

Welcoming the morning sun…

I think I have gone a bit ‘macrotastic’ lately!  These are some Osteospermum, again a member of the daisy/sunflower family.  I’ve included the black and white image as thought it best showed the fractal pattern of this seemingly simple flower 🙂

Uphill battle?

Pyalong, Central Victoria.  These trees seemed to have done battle (and maybe lost?) against the elements…

I can count 5 lambs in this – any I missed?!!

From the horse’s mouth…

One day last week after work I noticed that one of the horses, Adele,  was backlit beautifully by the late afternoon winter sun.  I was drawn by the light in her eyes and whiskers on her chin 🙂

Gone to seed….

Most people who know me will know that harvest, and therefore fruit and seeds, are uppermost in my mind at the moment.  Inspired by the colours of the Banksia I’ve experimented with shots of Milk Thistle, Dandelions, etc in monochrome with red and orange filters. Best view is to click on the photo.
