This old wood fungus, I think called a Shelf Fungus, that grows on the trunks of dead trees assisting in the decaying process.
Everyone knows about Puff-ball Fungus. Puffballs are a type of fungus that is ball-shaped that bursts on impact, releasing a cloud of dust-like spores when mature.
Agaricus augustus also called The Prince mushroom. It has lovely pink gills underneath
The Graceful Parasol, Macrolepiota clelandii
This one is mainly found in pot plants. Often called a Plantpot Dapperling
I walked out of my front door. I have a few ways to walk fifty steps so I made the decision to go up both directions of the driveway. First I went up the left hand side driveway. I didn’t know what I would find and luckily there were these wood fungi.
Fifty steps up the right hand side of the driveway are Grevilleas which are in flower
Opposite the Grevillea flowers are the Ivory Curl trees and they have finished flowering but now they have these lovely seed pods
Going down the path towards the back of my house is the shade house and my Begonias are flowering
Stingless Native Bee all 5mm of her zooming past a Hibiscus flower. This plant was a cutting from my Mum’s garden.
A Gold-tailed Spiny Ant having a drink in a water drop on the verandah. I call them Gold Bum Ants until I learnt their real name
Looking under a mushroom
First time I found some freaky looking Finger Fungus
Of course there were flowers
There seemed to be pink flowers then
The first appearance on my drift wood Stick Man walking along the beach. The start of fun creations with things on the beach by my bestie and me
Shells photos were a fun post
Insects on flowers or insects in general were the beginnings of macro photography
Butterflies and Honey Gem Grevillea flowers became a favourite
As did birds who enjoyed the flowers nectar like this Blue-faced Honeyeater
Birds at the bird bath made easy to take photos. Golden Whistlers and others always stopped in for a drink or a bath
Everyone loved the Long-necked Tortoise sunning on the almost tortoise shaped rock
Here is my Rooster. He was the one who helped start me on my addiction to photo challenges, thanks to Yvette from Priorhouse who was looking for some feather photos
Of course there was a few Red-necked Wallaby photos, taken from my kitchen window, especially the cute Joeys.
One my way home from work in town, I sometimes stopped when the sunset looked amazing just a few kilometres from my place
My first sunset photo I posted. Can you spot on the mountains where the sun was setting from the previous photo?
