Kings park is a good place for me to take photos of the nature.  It is full of natural elements such as trees, leaves, flowers, birds etc.  The sky is blue most of the time and sometimes the cloud looks like soft cotton in the sky.

Since I have lived in a tropical climate most of the time, I like to compare the trees in Perth to the trees I see locally.  The trees in Perth seem to have less leaves.  Therefore, the branches and trunks are clearly shown with high contrast of the bright blue sky.

This trees is on a slope near the Aboriginal Art Gallery in Kings Park.  The leaves were almost dried and all of the big and small branches have darker colours which draw itself clearly into my photo.  Unlike the trees in Malaysia which are always green and seldom let their branches visible.

The white plants make the picture look snowy, but it is summer - hot.

In order to keep the sky blue, the trees were underexpose (made darker) and looked black in the photo.

Some of the trees have smooth skins, I thought it was painted with light yellow paint, but it was not.

The seeds of this tree look like bells.

These flowers are smelly.  Years ago, I had them in my garden, and now I found them in Kings Park.  This plant is called Mexican marigold.  The scientific name is Tagetes erecta.

These flowers looked like fire and beautiful but I don’t know the name.  They are accompanied by little purple flower.

This is also the marigold, but it appeared in a different colour.  Its colour is darker and mixed with dark red on the petals facing upwards.

Bees attracted by the red flowers.  The petals looked like needles with orange dots on top.

This plant looks soft and swing left and right by the wind.  The light brown on its top means it is growing healthily.

The shapes and colour of these leaves did not attract me but its name did.  ”Panjang” means long in Malay language.

We found bird feather on the ground.  It was in silvery green.

This is a black and white bird.

This is the entrance of the garden in Kings Park.

I like the white trees more than the green trees.  Why?  May be I have never seen trees with light green leaves in Malaysia.  It cools down the surrounding.

Someone was pointing on the tree with an odd shape trunk.  No, she was pointing to the one of the interesting things in Kings Park, - “the Talking Curve Shape Stone“.  I will tell you about it in coming posts.

Plants and the City.

The dried seeds / flowers dropped from the tree look like worms.  Do you know what is the name of this tree?
