Wattle World Photography Day bring?

S fine picture for the day, George. Interesting that the caterpillar seems to have a similar
colouring to the bees. All the best, mate.

Lovely to see them flowering, perfect for WPD.

Great shot*****************
Best wishes****

Bien vu, George, j'aime aussi les surprises que réservent les photos lorsqu'on les visionne sur le PC.

Not what I had at all but you will be getting coming your way. I saw around the lake even thought of trying but it was a day dont leave home...................... Love the extras in the shot.

I got lucky with the weather, Steve. Rain was nearby.

Beautiful close-up George.

THE WORLD IS HUGE TO THAT LITTLE FELLOW !!!
LOVE THE BLOOMS

Gorgeous capture!

Prachtig lijkt op mimosa

Sehr schöner Beitrag zum "World Photography Day".

Beautiful photo of the flowers. The honey-bees weren't hard to find, but thanks for showing where the caterpillar was.

I've never heard of a Wattle tree before. Great image of the leaves and flower, and what a nice unexpected surprise for your caterpillar friend to show up. I think that is one thing about photography that sometimes get missed, that it gives us an opportunity to really examine something closely.

Is this about as close as your camera will get? Seems very close to me.

I find that my non-zoom lens on my SLR cameras don't get all too close to things.

Australia has many different species of wattle trees. One of them, the "Golden wattle" is our national flower. This was taken on a half frame DSLR with a Sigma 17-70 lens, which also does macro and can go a little closer than this. I find it a very good lens. It is also available for Nikon cameras, so might be worth considering if you want closer images. .

"Golden wattle" sounds great.

I think my digital Nikon may need replacing, so no new lenses for me yet. But I hadn't ever thought about a lens by someone else to go on it. I'll keep an eye on a Sigma.

The yellow is really striking, a photo full of life!

I think it's the tree we call mimosa in France. It raises its leaves in the day and lowers them at night, and starts to bloom during winter.

Life is wonderful when it awakens, George! This photo is definitely a great addition to WPD!
