The coast is often described through cliffs, beaches and ocean.

I find myself paying equal attention to the plants that make a living there. Salt, wind, poor soils and constant exposure leave their mark on everything that grows here.

I don’t know why this particular shrub caught my attention. Perhaps it was the silvery foliage, almost glowing against the darker coastal heath, or the way it all dissolved into textures and patterns.

For a long time I thought that my main subject for photography was flowers. The more I do it, the more I realise it’s actually something different, bigger and wider: patterns, structure, repetition, texture, design if you wish.
Last weekend it was a coastal boardwalk near Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula.

More strawflowers. More seeds.
