Eucalyptus Macrocarpa

Once you spot one of these flowers and you have a camera with you it becomes an obsessive but welcome task to get the best shot you can!

Under trying conditions with extremely strong winds, rain on and off and occasional hail stones (all in a 15 minute period) I managed to get this!

In the extras I've put my second daily fave, water lilies in a small lake nearby.
