RE: Original Photography. You See ~ I See. Color Challenge. Tuesday Orange. Morning Dew on the Banksias at the Roseville Lake.
Nice photo! I love banksias. Good to see someone else from Sydney on here :)
Thanks so much Chris. Lovely to meet another Sydneysider as well as a fellow Banksia lover. My favourite Banksia is the 'Old Man Banksia' with the old grey flowers revealing their core and their bare pods. More in line for #MonochromeMonday though.
You are most welcome to share your own 'You See ~ I See' post, if the concept appeals to you. 🙏 😊 🙏
Yes, there were a lot of Old Man banksia's at Bendalong Caravan Park, a place I spent a lot of time as a child. I love how perfectly cylindrical they are.
The ruggedness of some of the south coast is a visual and energetic treat ~ Great for kids of all ages.
I didn't begin to really take notice of the Old Man Banksia until a few years ago. Used to work in the bush around the Terrey Hills area. In the pre-tic days, at lunch time, a friend and I could lay back on a huge rock, under one of the most beautiful Old Man Banksias and totally re-energize. Can't do it anymore unfortunately. ***
Once you become aware of the presence of OMB, they seem to be all around you, where ever you go in the bush.
Yes, love the cylindrical shape of the Banksia Candles ~ Great name 'Candles.' 😊
***Just today, here on Steemit, I read of another tic preventative remedy made from cloves. 😊
A pity you can't do it any more. Hopefully you will be able to sometime in the future!
