MY SUNDAY BEST MEME #130 - WATTLE

Welcome to the meme, "My Sunday Best", which is a photographic and creative meme that allows you to showcase your talents in imaging. Every Sunday, you can post here showing an image you have created using your camera, (and/or) image processing software, and/or painting and drawing in the conventional way and have scanned in.

The rules are simple:
1) Create your image and post it up on your blog;
2) Put the "My Sunday Best" logo image link somewhere on your post so people can click and come by here;
3) Leave a comment here once you have posted;
4) Visit other posters' blogs and be amazed with their creativity!

Please do not use this meme to advertise your goods or services. This is a creative meme and any inappropriate links or comments shall be removed immediately!

The theme is of your own choosing, so post on any subject you desire.
The first wattles (Acacia spp) are beginning to bloom in wintry Melbourne and provide a welcome sight in the grey of wintry days. You may know this type of tree as mimosa.

The genus Acacia constitutes, in its traditional circumspection, the second largest genus in the family Fabaceae (Astragalus being the largest), with roughly 1,300 species, about 960 of them native to Australia, with the remainder spread around the tropical to warm-temperate regions of both hemispheres, including Europe, Africa, southern Asia, and the Americas.

Last week Klara in Poland posted some lovely photos of wintry plants with beautiful lighting. Please visit her blog to see other great photos!
