One of the things that I enjoy the most about nature is the vast amount of colours that occur in wildflowers. During a recent trip to the Grampians I came across a patch of Blue Tinsel lilies on the side of a road and stopped to capture some photographs of the beautiful mauve and yellow coloured flowers. My photographs of these and many other wildflowers are reminders of the importance of our natural environment and it’s beauty even though I am far away from these places.

What reminders do you have of natures beauty in your home?

Silverband Falls is a beautiful place in the heart of the Grampians mountain range in located Victoria, Australia. The photo was taken in early morning light reflecting off the surrounding cliffs. Please enjoy the photograph and feel free to make a print for yourself and also let your friends know of this offer.

I took this photo at Point Addis last week near the start of The Great Ocean road. It was one of those rare moments that happens on a dull day when the sun is able to shine through the clouds enough to brighten and enliven the scene, fortunately I was able to set up the camera in time to capture the event. So be ready for any opportunity the comes along even when it is least expected.

The photo of a fallen leaf caught in the fronds of a grass tree shows us but a moment of its life cycle. Sometimes our lives can appear to be on hold just like the leaf suspended just above the ground. Given time, the cycle will be completed and the leaf will fall to earth where it will return nutrients to the soil for the cycle to come to completion. So if your plans appear to be on hold it is only a matter of time before things will start to take their natural course again like the cycles in the natural world.

Cooperation of natures elements such as light, water and wind helped to create this abstract image. The sun came out from behind the clouds, the clear water in the tidal pool flowed over the sand and the slight breeze created the ripples reflecting and refracting the sunlight. This image has caught but a moment in time of the of the ripples dancing on the pools surface creating never ending abstract patterns.

This image influences my thoughts in contradictory ways depending on how I’m feeling, sometimes I feel energized by the photo and other times I feel calm and relaxed losing myself in the myriad of patterns.

Please let me know, how does this image affects you?

High on the cliffs above the sea a group of trees and small plants manage to thrive against all odds, they struggle with the salt laden air, under nourished earth and rocks and regularly face wind and water erosion yet they struggle on with great tenacity and courage.
