Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Inch Worm Quite the acrobat!! ============================================= / Featured in Pay_It_Forward – 18th November 2008 and / 2nd August 2009. ============================================= / Featured in the Top 10 of Pay It Forward Group / Avatar_Challenge – 14th December 2008. ============================================= / Featured in the Top 10 of The_Woman_Photographer Challenge Itty_Bitty_Teeny_Tiny_ie_Very_Small – July 2009. ============================================= / I have had the very great honour of having Christine_Till_@CT-Graphics nominate my image ”Inch Worm” to be showcased in the prestigous Pay_It_Forward_Group. This is what Christine had to say about Inch Worm: ”Because it is a gentle but powerful reminder that there are so many simple, innocent joys happening in life every single day … that life is mostly the little things, too short to only savor the big moments. Too often little things go unappreciated. It’s the little things that will stay with us for a lifetime, that make life so special each and every day. They have the power to make us smile every day. We just have to let it happen.” Work showcased in “Pay It Forward” is classed as very prestigous indeed. Nominations are the absolute favorite works of other members – and they are only allowed to choose one – That’s a fabulous compliment on your work!

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Christmas Bells Christmas Bell (Blandfordia grandiflora) Blandfordia...After the Marquis of Blandford / grandiflora....large flowered Found in coastal areas of central and northern New South Wales and south-east Queensland. Blandfordia is a small genus of 4 species all confined to south-eastern Australia. They are slow-growing, grass-like plants with narrow leaves and bell-shaped flowers produced on stems arising from the centre of the clump. All are commonly known as “Christmas bells” as they generally flower in December-January. B.grandiflora is the most robust of the 4 species. It is usually found in wet coastal heaths on sandy soils. The tubular flowers occur in groups of 6 or more on stems about 30-60 cm long. The flowers are quite large being up to 50 mm long and flared towards to tip. Typically the flowers are red with a yellow tip but forms with all yellow flowers are also known. The flowers contain nectar and a frequented by honey eating birds. After flowering, seeds are produced in papery pods. The seeds ripen about 3 months after flowering. This is a popular plant in cultivation although it is very slow growing and easily “swamped” by more vigourous plants. It requires moist, well drained soils preferably of a light texture such as sandy loam. It appreciates some protection from full sun but should not be grown in heavy shade. It is tolerant of at least moderate frosts. It is very suitable for growing in pots.

The title of this photo used to be: Say a prayer for me, with the following description: / °°° / A delicate branch of cherry blossoms, symbol of spring, symbol of new life, carrying someones hope, someones prayers. Such a beautiful tradition in Japan… / °°° But it seems to be that I was misinformed and that the little paper on the tree is not a prayer, but a bad fortune. Here I found the following description of this custom: / °°° / Omikuji are fortunes written on strips of paper available at most Shinto shrines in Japan. There are 12 levels of fortunes, ranging from Great Blessing to Great Curse. When the fortune is bad, it is customary for the person to fold up the strip of paper and tie it to a pine tree branch at the temple grounds, thus freeing the person from the bad fortune. In the event of the fortune being good, the bearer should keep it. / °°° / As you can see, they don’t only use pine trees for it. / More Japan / / /

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Sawn Rocks Reflections As I stood looking up at these amazing rock patterns, I noticed that a small pool of water was reflecting the image above! Sawn Rocks, Mount Kaputar National Park is about 30 kms north-east of Narrabri on the Newell Highway, New South Wales. The mountains in Mount Kaputar National Park are the remains of active volcanoes in the area from 17-20 million years ago. These remarkable rock patterns are created when molten lava cools slowly enabling individual crystals to form and take shape as the lava shrinks as it cools.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Australian King Parrot Sets of Two: / A_Top_Spot The colours of the male King Parrot are striking, with the head and underparts being vivid scarlet, the back and wings are a rich green and the tail a deep blue. It has pale green markings on its wings. Their eyes have a yellow ring and their bill is red above and blackish below. / The King Parrot can be found along the eastern side of Australia’s mainland, from Cooktown in Queensland and inland to the Carnarvon Ranges, into the NSW wooded coastline and inland to the Warrumbungles National Park, down to the bottom end of Victoria and inland to Wodonga. Their habitat varies to include rainforests, palm forests, eucalypt forests, dense gullies, clearings, coastal woodlands, farms and orchards, parks and gardens. / Their diet consists of leaf buds and new shoots, blossoms, nectar and seeds from natives such as eucalypt and acacia, as well as introduced plants, but they are also known to raid orchards and farms for fruit and vegetables such as apple and corn. / The King Parrot breeds from September to January and builds its nest in tree hollows, high off the ground. Three to five eggs are laid which are incubated by the female for around twenty days. The young are fed initially by the female, but then by both parents once half grown. Young fledge after five weeks. The Parrot is common in its ranges.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery View from Doug Sky Lookout Mt Kaputar National Park, New South Wales. The Mt Kaputar (pronounced cap you tar) National Park lies to the east of Narrabri (approximately 53Km) and to the west of Barraba (approximately 55Km). Mt Kaputar, on the western edge of the Great Dividing Range, is the highest point until you reach Africa, and from its peak (on a clear day), about 10 percent of New South Wales is visible for 360º. The Mt Kaputar National Park is very much a local secret and holds a diverse range of vegetation and wildlife, including many threatened species. As much as 17 million years of erosion has sculpted the now extinct Nandewar volcano and what is left offers a majestic skyline of rocky outcrops with spectacular views. Mt Kaputar’s summit is 1524m and there are 11 marked walking tracks. Sets of Two / Camels Hump
