I love the colours of autumn leaves.

The Tamar Islands Wetlands are just a short drive north of Launceston, and there's a 3km boardwalk leading from the carpark, across the river, and onto Tamar Island. There's plenty of flora and fauna to see, and the photo below shows the grass that lines the majority of the boardwalk.

The low angle of the soft evening sunlight provides warm colours on these Norfolk pine needles on the ground.

The low evening sunlight highlights the shape of the roots of this huge fig tree.

I found this mushroom in the back yard recently, and decided to try some photos from a low angle. This photo was my pick of the photos I took.
To get this shot, I was lying on the ground in front of the mushroom, with the camera resting on the ground.

A bottlebrush flower. The name came about because of the cylindrical brush-like flowers, which look very much like a bottle brush used for cleaning bottles.
