Bren’s Mid-Week Monochrome #125

PS I contacted Bren earlier via email and not heard back yet. She has had a few things going on taking up all of her time, that’s why we haven’t seen a post for a while. When I find out how she is going I’ll let you know.

Leanne’s Monochrome Madness

During last years walk in the Gibraltar Ranges National Park to see the Waratahs flowering, I also found a bit more to photograph as well. Not only were the Waratahs in flowering glory but so many other plants were doing well. The fire of December 2019 laid the whole mountain bare of vegetation so it was so lovely to find that there has been a good recovery commencing.

One of the first to return were Tree Ferns and three years later they were al growing well. Many of Australians flora are adapted to fire and some require fire or smoke for the seeds to germinate.

This is a classic Tree Fern frond curling photo.

This week I decided to do something a bit different. I love Paper daisies and when I converted one to Monochrome, I was unsure, so I did another.

Do you have a preference?

Earlier this week Jude posted a photo of her potting shed.
Here is my potting shed on the right hand side. The left side is the machinery shed

It’s funny how I have two stair views, one here and one for todays Wordless Wednesday, both so very different.
These are the stairs that led to our Venice apartment in the old palace. A modern conversion but lot’s a the old world still evident
