I actually went to get a shot of the full flower of the bottlebrush tree, but then spotted these buds waiting to burst forth! I thought they were more unusual than the full bloom.
@squaresparrow I added the writing on photoshop SS, but you can also do it with Picmonkey. It'seally easy to do! @paulaw I know, but you were so right - it's exactly what they look like! @taffy@milaniet@juliedduncan@dgrynn@sansjuan@cathieg@kwind Thanks everyone for the kind comments. It's always satisfying to capture something a little bit unusual. :-)
Beautiful, fascinating, actually mesmerizing! Like others, I have to say as well that I've not seen the Bottle brush at this stage in the blooming process. Most intriguing! Love the way you composed the image and the framing looks so nice. As you mentioned earlier, sometimes that interior line isn't necessary as the image is powerful enough on its own. Beautiful, and another fav for my collection.
@ziggy77 Thanks Jo. :-)
