After awhile I was walking on frozen clubs, but with this light and these flowers, warmth could wait.

And in my own front yard, just steps from the front door, the bird of paradise are alive.

I've never seen a pistachio tree before, very pretty! I love the mixed colors.

This is gorgeous!

Did you manage to grab some shoes before walking in the wet yards? 32 degrees is too cold to be barefoot!

Autumn here down in the Southern Hemisphere here now, so I can start to add to this feed now. We don't get the big colour changes with the trees here as most of our trees here keep their leaves during winter, in summer the trees shed their bark instead, there are a couple of places that have trees from the north which will lose their leaves, so may try and get to those places in a month’s time when the colours start, but for now just the flowering plants of winter, this one's a Correa (Adorabell) Rutaceae. In the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan, last Saturday. Two off camera speedlites hand held for this shot.

Staying put at home these days so no trips to the botanic gardens for a while, but that doesn't mean no photography, This was taken in the front garden today, a little Flannel flower. 
Lighting, two speedlites main on the flower, and a second on the foliage with a chocolate gel for the golden colour. Always fun playing with light to see what you can create.

Another Autumn flower shot from the front garden, a Smaller Grevillea, but of water spray and bit of lighting. its only about 20mm (3/4") so little one.

What an interesting looking flower!

I've never seen anything like it before, thanks so much for sharing!

Lavender is still got the odd flower in the front garden this weekend.

Still Autumn here offically well at least for another day or so , before we clock over to Winter on Monday here. So an Autumn shot of a Grevillea in flower in the Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan last Saturday.
