Laura Garretty, "Grevillea by the Tide" (NATURE WILDERNESS 2025)

Perched on the edge of the coastline, this grevillea blooms boldly against the shimmer of turquoise water. I captured it on a warm, salt-laden breeze, struck by the contrast between its delicate curls and the rugged coastal scrub. In this moment, beauty and resilience intertwine — a reminder of how life thrives even in the harshest edges of the wilderness, clinging to sunlight, sea air, and possibility.
