Gold and Blue

(AS IS, Fujifilm Finepix F31fd)
Walking on a beautiful Spring day in Poros (little island an hour away from Athens), I saw this and couldn’t resist its charm. I had it as desktop background and found it very uplifting through a rainy British Spring.
(Found out through Wikipedia that it’s called Acacia pycnantha Golden Wattle of the Acacia genus (and I also found out that there are SO many different types of them and I liked many for years without knowing their name Live and learn!)

    Thank you very much – it’s one of my favourites, cheer-me-up photos. Probably because it also reminds me of what a beautiful Spring day that was, and I’m glad I managed to capture a bit of that.

    Thank you for the compliment and congratulations, I’m glad you like the picture. I’ve no idea why a native Australian plant grows on the side of the roads on a small island in Greece, but it’s interesting! I must go there again and do some research :-)

    In addition to the colours and the lighting, I like the positioning of the branches in the frame. A very nice picture,indeed!

    Neither the angle of the camera nor the selection of the time of the day were dictated by mother nature. The photographer did something, after all…
