The Golden Wattle starts

[Paddy (Patrick)]

As our bush bursts into colour with the flowering of the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) I manage to get a picture which I like, using my Canon 500D and 100mm Macro. These little insects are so important for the bird life around here.

Nice shot Patrick.

I'm still waiting for our wattles to come out, probably still a week or two to go.

Lovely shot Paddy.

My brother, who lives in Bendigo, has just posted a heap of wattle pics on Facebook - flowering beautifully.
