50th anniversary of the EH Holden car

Posted on by John Dolphin

It is Kings Parks 50th year of the wildflower festival, it also the 50th anniversary of the EH Holden car
so with the help of the EH club in WA Kings park combined the 2 anniversaries by turning 2 old EHs into…………

flower pots, sigh

(my wife suggested I do it with my EH, she was joking, i think, hope)

I managed to get a photo showing the character of one of the cars without having to many of the flowers, trying to give it the abandoned in the bush look.
I tried to be different from most others that were taking shots with the flowers too
this is the rear of one of the cars

three photos stitched with microsoft ice

I managed to get a photo showing the character of one of the cars without having to many of the flowers sticking out of it 🙂
I tried to be different from everyone else that were taking shots with the flowers too

(my wife suggested I do it with my EH, she was joking, i think, hope)

the photo ended up being a 26 megapixle 4 photo stitch, stitched in microsoft ice

White tailed black cockatoo

Posted on by John Dolphin

A white tailed black cockatoo feasting on a firewood banksia cone whilst sitting on my bull banksia in Winter

I counted about 20 of them going through my trees, pruning as they went.

I picked up some banksia flowers they snipped off and put them in a vase

They do a a fair amount of damage, but gee it is worth it just to watch them 🙂

Pink rose

Posted on by John Dolphin

wild rose
this is the only rose I own
I am not a rose person and find them over rated as flowers
this one survived by accident (my sister took the others)
I thought it had died
then a shoot started from really low down and when it flowered this is the result
I am guessing it is from the original root stock
so for now it is surviving with no looking after (a requirement for plants in my garden, the other is they should be native, local preferably)
quite a cute rose really, understated rather than showy

taken using my 300mm lens as a macro
