Red Browed Finch

This tiny little finch likes the seeds on my Judas Tree. It’s only about 10cm long and is really shy, so I was thrilled to be able to sneak up on it and take its picture.

Playing with focus.

This flower began as a tiny cutting that had interesting leaf shapes. I pinched a very tiny piece and carefully tended it on my windowsill, until it has grown and flowered. The flower is not really impressive but it is very different!

The first two pictures have interesting points of focus.

Swamp Hens

These little guys and many of their friends live along the bank of the lagoon out in front of my house and are constant visitors to my garden. They’re always quiet and well-behaved. They don’t make a mess or scratch around and they’re very cute.

Sunnies

There are so many stages of a sunflower’s growth. Nature forms the most beautiful patterns and structures in something as simple as a single flower.

Dahlia

This is a strange little red flower. I planted some dahlia seeds and some stunted little plants have struggled to survive.

Love the petals.

This is an interesting flower. I’m not sure whether its distorted because of the heat or if this is it. I’ll watch the other flowers (if it has any).
