Cast Against the Sunset

Posted on December 12, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Another sunset and some more vegetation in silhouette. I think it is a combination of the colour and the contrast between the sky and the flora that makes me like this scene. The resultant moodiness is something that I find … Continue reading →

Might be wrong, but the information I’ve gathered indicates that the three main plants here are Avicennia marina (grey mangrove) plants. These are visible in the previous photo I shared, but I took a few shots focusing on them initially … Continue reading →

Could be known as an Easter lily, or a red and white belladonna, or a red and white Amaryllis. There are a few names but I’ve been unable to find the specific one for this so I’m using the genus name. … Continue reading →

Acacia in Bloom

Posted on October 19, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

This was taken in 2018 whilst walking through Sydney Park. I’ve spent a bit of time trying to work out the specific type of acacia this is, but the best I can work out is some type of white wattle. … Continue reading →

It appears as though there are a few names for this particular tree. Including the one above, there is also Prunus blireana (or Prunus x blireana), cherry blossom blireana and cherry blossom plum. There are probably more, but I’ve spent … Continue reading →

Hardenbergia violacea

Posted on August 1, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Here is a photo of what I feel is a rather pretty collection of flowers that I saw yesterday. Most of them are yet to fully bloom, which I feel adds a sense of youth to the image. I feel … Continue reading →

AKA Moreton Bay fig AKA Australian Banyan. I’ve been familiar with this tree for quite a long time, but the last time I saw it (before this shot) was roughly nine to ten years ago. Still the same tree and … Continue reading →

Young Avicennia marina

Posted on July 17, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Also known as a grey mangrove. This is near where I grew up. This place has (at least in my lifetime) always had mangrove plants, but it’s still nice to see them spreading as they help to keep the local … Continue reading →

Livistona australis

Posted on July 2, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Also known as the cabbage-tree palm. This was taken whilst in The Royal National Park. I like how the shade makes the stems and leaves look. They have a kind of softness to them even though they’re not. I also … Continue reading →

Camellia Japonica ‘White Nun’

Posted on June 15, 2020 by Stupidity Hole

Taken whilst wandering about near home. I don’t feel as though this is the best photo I could’ve taken. I’ve issues with how I’d set up the focus, but on the flip side the overall softness works with the petals, … Continue reading →
