The end of Spring and the Royal Botanical Gardens





The above are a few of the lovely blooms we have enjoyed this last Spring

Recently I enjoyed a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens

The gardens never disappoint me

There are always lots of flowers out in bloom and interesting plants to see.  The mature trees are magnificent.

During my walk I noticed Gardening Australia filming a segment for the TV show

A lovely sunny day to enjoy the surroundings.

This time of the year the Jacaranda trees are in full bloom adding lots of colour.


That's all for now,

Quilt Exhibition and this and that

Last weekend I attended the Australian Quilt Exhibition held at the Royal Exhibition Building


It is a lovely building surrounded by beautiful gardens

There were plenty of vendors as well as beautiful quilts to see and admire


Such a lot of talented people


This is one of the beautiful sunrises we have been enjoying of late

At last the autumn colours are beginning to show on the trees in our area and we have at last had some well needed rain!


These two black cockatoos were carved with a chain saw and painted black from the remains of a tree stump located close by to where I live

That's all for now
