Description **BEST IN FULL VIEW**

Took this shot of Leucospermum Cordifolium (nicknamed "pincushion") at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum [link] This plant is native to South Africa, but commonly grown in Australia as well.

Thanks to my son Jeff [link] for suggesting the title.

Wow do you work with PS or something or is it really an origin? Great!

I used a circular polarizing lens to capture the clouds, but no touch up in PS.

Thanks What really made this shot possible was my 12-24mm lens to capture both the bush and the sky

It is indeed native to South Africa which I why it caught my eye. I saw some of these yesterday morning here in Cape Town.

Always beautiful - - -
