Leucospermum

Its been a while since I've used an extension tube attached to the 50mm.
Love the orange/melon tones that have emerged through the softness.  I managed to get a slither of focus on the leaf.
Leucospermum is part of of the Protea family and a spikey form.

This mornings depression has now eased slightly. (I best explain, our All Blacks were alienated by the Irish) .

A quiet Sunday, been reading and getting quite involved in the story - The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.  I had started it a few weeks back and never got back to it so had to read from the start again.
