Yellow Everlastings
We toured through the rich West Australian 'grain belt' in September 2025: past fields of wheat and canola that extended horizon-to-horizon and through meadows (like this above) filled with wild-flowers. It's not my usual subject: I find that, like birds, flower-albums tend to be taxonomies. Still, they're lovely things and invite the photographer to do his best (worst). So...
There are duplicate shots of some species here ... dictated, I'm afraid, by what was in front of me. But there's still variation in the form of each species.
Mostly shot with my OM-1 and a 40-150mm lens. One or two shots with my Leica Q3-43.
