Christmas Time

Christmas is here again and there are lots of trees with their pretty decorations.

The Melbourne City Council always have nice flowering plants around this time of year.

The wool bombing has happened again and it is nice to see the craft work and beautiful crotchet.

This star decoration caught my attention when I was going through one of the arcades in Melbourne.

Another Christmas tree with its' gold baubles.

There are lots of banners hung to make it more festive at Christmas time.

A festive wreath I saw at our local shopping centre.



These large baubles are at the top end of Collins Street.  This part of Collins Street is also known as the Paris end of Collins Street.

Lastly, the new Nativity scene provided by my local Council.

I wish everyone a happy and peaceful Christmas

Spring Time

It has been a cool start to Spring

Now the weather is warming up

we are getting to see some Spring colour

This lovely tulip display I saw at one of our local garden nurseries

We are also getting to view some of the new families around this year

Catching up

   I thought it was time I updated my blog


Early morning in the City of Melbourne

I always like to visit the Block Arcade.  The above are some of the lovely shops to see

A lovely bunch of ornamental kale I noticed on my walk

I have continued to enjoy my walks even when it is a little damp



There is always something new to see

A weeping cherry tree



and one of the beautiful wattles around this time of year.

That's all for now,

Autumn

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons

As well as the weather cooling down after our usual hot summer

there is plenty of colour around

The wattle trees are starting to bloom again

as well as the flowering gums

and the bird life enjoying the extra water lying around after the rain we have had.

That's all for now,

Easter

It has become a tradition that I make hot cross buns and raisin bread every year at Easter time and this year was no exception.

I also made these sweet treats for Easter Sunday and they were very popular with my family.

It is Autumn here in Victoria, Australia and the trees are beginning to show their pretty colours

My walks are more enjoyable since the hot Summer weather has ceased and the lovely warm Autumn weather has begun.

Happy Easter

That's all for now,

Art in the local park

When walking in one of our local parks this art work always stands out.

Cockatoos

Kookaburras

Frogs

Fish

and Galahs

That's all for now,

Happy New Year!

The spring rain made everything so green

I wish everyone a peaceful and happy new year.
