Blossom time

A day trip and an almond grove spotted that I just had to hop out of the car and take a shot of it

First of my 12 prunus trees

First buds out on my plum tree

Probably about a week to go before my blossom is fully out

Sascha contemplating his kingdom

Raindrops on Muscari and Hellebore

A fiery sunset

Raindrops on the Galahs

Winter is Almost Over

An afternoon stroll

Storm clouds gathering

A crisp winter's day

The first Prunus blossom

Euphorbias  are flowering again

Opening Camellias

Won't be long before my pink tulips are up

Winter Garden Adventures

Lots of bird life in our winter garden this week

All playing nicely together

Sheltering from a rainstorm

Stalking an echidna

Another storm arriving

Stormy Weather

Terrible weather in the Hills .....dark days, huge gales with 100km + wind. So far we have escaped falling trees and power loss. After 2 years of drought I'm loving the rain but the wind has been terrifying

My poor gum tree is taken a pounding

Yoghurt spread over my terracotta pots to age them more quickly

Winter dawn

Another dark day and gale moving across

This little guy took refuge on our porch and is looking up at the roof wondering what the heck!

My new succulent garden on the back porch

Galahs waiting to swoop onto the lawn and tear it up

A winter posy from the garden

Frosty mornings

After the gales  last week the weather has been sunny which means freezing nights and frosty mornings tuning the garden white.  Sunsets and dawn have been beautiful the the landscape turning molten gold

setting sun

gloomy day

golden dawn

rub a dub dub

afternoon stroll

2 pieces of old ornate metal , for the garden, found in a country town secondhand shop

This shop is in a tiny town called Sedan where time has stood still. Loved the hilarious sign, and we bought the above for only $10

Late afternoon on the front lawn
