A little bit of Australia

These are the hardest flowers to take a decent photo of. I think they look like little firework explosions.

Michele these are beautiful.The lighting the colors and the subject are all spot on What an unusual and wonderful flower you have captured perfectly here. The frame is a very attractive addition. What is this plant called?

Wow Michelle these are gorgeous flowers and if they are so hard to photograph it certainly doesn't show. Lovely detail too. The composition of both of these is excellent and the frames enhance the lovely photographs. Very nice work and wonderful presentation.

Shmelly,

You've captured them magnificently!
Aren't those from some sort of eucaliptus?
We have somthing simmilar over here but with less attractive yellow flowers.
Itried soveral times but never got a decent shot. Yours are superb!

Well Captured, Composed and Presented.

Thanks tycooder, this is an Australian Mallee Tree, a Eucalyptus variety, the flowers are only small but prolific and seems to flower for most of year.

Thanks Richie, don't wait until spring, I'm surprised how many flowers are out there at the moment.

Yes flavio they are a Eucalyptus, and white or yellow are the most common colours, however there are quite a few different varieties and some beautiful colours, and all difficult to photograph.

They really do remind me of little fire work explosions. Thankyou Michael
