Flowering Gum

Eucalyptus ficifolia

And a similar cluster of blooms in colour

This and others grow on the side of our road. We have a couple, but both of ours
are an insipid salmon colour, which looks fine on a rose but is lost in a tree
as sturdy as a ficifolia. I had to keep my ears peeled listening for fast moving cars
while taking these photos.

I'm amazed how well this works in B&W - great image of one of favourite groups of plants - the eucalypts.

I really like this in monotone. It is a fascinating plant with it swirls of petals. Beautiful tones and processing. V.

Interesting comparison between black&white and "natural" version! Both are beautiful. It looks like the black&white work is conquering step by step popularity from colourful shots! V

The B&W allows the textures and shapes to be seen beautifully, and the second photo shows that astounding colour. Love both! V
