AusBonsai

Gday folks!

Those of you who know me from the bonsaTALK days will be aware that I tend to take lots of photos when on holiday. Then I tend to post a bunch of them on the Web, and hopefully manage to provide some small amount of inspiration for my fellow Internerds.

Enjoy!
Stay tuned for more...

Mate, that's some beautiful photos you've got there!! Where abouts were you??

Didn't take your suiseki pick and chisels?

Gday Nathan!

All the photos above were taken in the Pinnacles Desert, about 20km from Cervantes.

Glad you like them!

Thanks.

It's like the great wall of China. We built it to keep the Easterners out but it has worn down a bit from the elements over the years. We had a referendum and realised there is the odd useful Aussie in the East so now we use the sand gropers to pick off the worst ones as they try to get through. Only the worthy get to see what is past this.

Thanks for sharing, Fly! That's amazing, they almost look like they're positioned. Like a little stone village.

Fabulous shots of rather inhospitable terrain.
Any Ficus there?
Jerry

No Ficus there Jerry just dessert plants heehee.
It is not that inhospital there is a road around as long as you stick to that the Natives will leave you alone.
There are some wonerful and strange shapes among them

Mr Fly can I add some please?

Go for it, Mr Pup! It takes me a while to edit them so that they are worth showing, so if you post some, it will take the heat off me for a bit.

Thanks in advance.

Fly.

Nice Fly

The Galahs look pretty cute too

G,day Guys as you can see I asked Mr Fly if I could post some pics from the Pinnacles here as well.
Ken and Jerry most of the tree's are either Banksia or Hakea, with some Eucalyptus and Tuart. It is about a 3 hour drive north of Perth. That depends on the car you drive or hire .
It is a wind blown dessert of Limestone and as you can see some weird shapes. I have also included some of the flower's, it is pretty hard to get them in focus when the wind is blowing, you wait and just as you press the shutter it blows.
I like Mr Fly hope you enjoy them Next page for some more

Thanks fly and you too pup, absolutley goergus. Wow, i have never seen flowers from that side of Australian before. Nor the landscape for that fact. Thank you both so very much for sharing with us . Our country truley is something spectaccula. Isnt it

Thank you gentlemen, wonderful pictures. It brought back some fond memories of a wonderful part of the country. That is why it is called the wildflower state. Spent many a day around that area. Makes me want to move back home.

Glad you still call it home Bodhi. It is a beautiful place and fortunately not too many know that so we are still safe.

We do want some of you to come over for our Convention in 2011 though you will receive a most warm welcome.
