Dandelion

Dandelion flower

This is a nice close-up of a single dandelion flower. The flower is almost symetrical, with it's petals radiating from the center in an offset pattern. I think the bright colors of the yellow flower and green grass contrast nicely.

New Blog!

Just a quick note to tell you that I have a new blog you might want to look at. It is called "Useless Facts".

Hope you like it!

Ant Eggs

Close-up of ant eggs

I zoomed in on a photo of some new gum tree shoots, and found these and eggs. There were ants all over the twigs, and more of these eggs along most of them. Doesn't look as if this tree will have a very easy time growing up!

Tomato?

Tomato

This is actually a tomato, even though it looks more like an orange golf ball! Notice the piece of newspaper to the left of the tomato, which adds and interesting sense of contrast to the picture.

Dragon!

Bearded dragon lizard

This bearded dragon is well camouflaged amongst the sticks and leaves. It took us quite a while to find him! At least he posed well for the photo; when one of these lizards knows he is spotted he will stand absolutely still until you leave him in peace.

Marigold

Single marigold flower

A nice photo of a marigold flower. The yellow and red contrast well, producing nice, sharp edges on the background of green grass.

Corny

Corn leaves

This is a close-up of a corn plant's central leaves. Notice the curves that draw your attention to the upper-left corner of the picture. The plant is about 2 and a half months old, and is growing well, but has no corn cobs forming yet.

Crabby!

Crab on sand

This is a small male crab on the sand at the shore of Lake Cootharaba, Queenland (up-river from Noosa). His gesture appears to be calling you closer; would you trust someone with claws like that?

New Blog Subject

Attention!

I have now changed the title of this blog from "David's Digital Image Gallery" to "David's 'Images of Nature' Gallery". This is because I have found that most of the photos being posted are pictures of nature, and refining the subject would help to focus the selection of images to a single group, which (hopefully) will make the quality of images better! Anyway, I've changed the subject, so you will only be seeing nature-related pictures from now on.

Hope you continue to enjoy the content on this site!

Sun shining through leaves

Sun shining through tree leaves

I particularly like this kind of photo, with the sun shining it's rays through green branches and leaves overhead. In this picture, there are some leaves in the foreground and tree branches in the background.
