Gold Coast Flowers

The shore has been planted with many new plants.
Among them the strange twisting limbs of the cordylline create stark shadows and shapes against the sand.
Also prevalent were the red and gold Bottle brushes, which the parrots delighted in.
The flowers were vivid and rich and laden with nectar.
Fences were thick with this orange creeper full of rich vivid orange. Some of the creepers climbed and covered huge trees with a mass of orange blooms.
There was salt bush and pigface planted along the sands.

The Flowers attracted birds seeking nectar..the small Honey eater, the thrush and the colorful parrots.

Colors of the Outback

The roadsides are rich with the colors of the earth. The reds of the iron in the soil, and the greens of the Copper glow with rich vibrance.
The skies are luminous, blue in the day and changing with the time of the day and the heat. The hotter it is, the more vibrant the colors, dazling the eye with its brightness.







The Gums are plentiful. The white trunks of the Snappy Gum shine out in the harsh light of the Outback.

Desert Colors

The desert is full of color.
After the rains, the reds of the soils contrasted with the new greens, the blue of the waterholes and rivers and the blue of the skies.
