About Eve Parry

I retired to Frankland River 10 years ago, after living in Perth since 1971; originally I was from Shropshire, England.
Most of my work, is done in the lower south of Western Australia, mainly Frankland, my garden, and Albany. However, I do visit my family who still live in Perth, and try to take the opportunity to photograph other places.

    Wonderful detailed image Eve. I don’t think WA gets the recognition it deserves when it comes to wild flowers.

  • Thank you very much myraj. Perhaps not, but it’s surprising how many people are travelling around our area, especially during the hight of the orchid season.
