Showing a variety of wattles flowering at this time of the year. We have many colours, some quite dull and others bright yellow. The flowers themselves vary too.
Thanks for coming on an Australian stroll.
Tomatoes, our staple
A new tiny snail, I haven’t seen before.
A gentle change
The Acer drops seeds and the seedling are being potted up.
Roses still blooming
Looking up
Autumn colour
Delicate semi-shade plants
In Victoria known as Virginian Creeper, in Tasmania known as Boston Ivy. These creepers are growing on the water tanks.
Chilli plant in front of zucchini
Verbena, still a few jewels to be found.
Baby cyclamen, treasures .to be nurtured

Pendulous Callistemon
Callistemon are a popular street tree.
One of the many Tea-tree varieties, I think.
Today we started daylight saving, so the longer days are finally here. Have captured some flowers that we pass on our walks:
Waratah, native to Western Australia
Callistemon
Clivia in our garden
Mt. fuji, double cherry tree in our garden.
Our walk takes us past the tennis courts to the oval where a cricket match is in progress. You can see that horses pass this way!
Today’s update  of Christopher’s painting is not totally true, but I boosted the colour to enhance it, so that it was more visible. His work needs to be seen in reality, rather than a photograph. There is a wonderful translucent quality to them.

Maybe I should show you the windy spring day outside with the lawns mown too!
