Rainbows and Autumn Colours etc

Last day of January

During January we have had some smoke filled skies due to the fires in the South East of Victoria

The sun was eerie looking and was a lot redder than these pictures

There also have been some dust storms of red dust

which accounts for the colour of the water across this pathway

We have had some lovely clear days for walking and caught up with these ducks on their travels

I always love seeing another wattle tree out in blossom

The Jacaranda trees always do well in the summer time.

That's all for now,

New Year's Day 2020

I took these two photos early this morning

they show the smoke still around from the fires still burning in the South East of Victoria.

  Wishing everyone a Happy New Year's Day. It is a somber New Year's Day in Australia due to the devastation of the fires including loss of life.

That's all for now,

Christmas Day

It is always great seeing all the Christmas decorations that are placed in front gardens.

A flowering  bottlebrush bush

and a flowering gumtree showing their lovely Christmas red colours.

The smoke you can see in the distance has travelled down from the awful New South Wales fires. 

We still have smoke around and it is now from some of the bush fires in Victoria.  Our weather of late has been a lot cooler than Queensland and New South Wales just with the odd hot day but I am sure our hot weather will come too.

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas with good health and happiness.

That's all for now,

Spring time - Late September and an October post

Spring time again and it is always lovely to see the bees at work.

We have had had some good rainfall

The magnolia blooms have been wonderful this year

and the blossom trees have shown their lovely colours

These poppies made quite a show

as well as the tulips

as well as  this yellow rhododendron.

It always makes my walks more enjoyable seeing what plants are out in flower and just enjoying the beauty of nature.

That's all for now

Winter time

On my walk through the Bush Owl land Reserve I was delighted to see the Pink Heath out in flower.  It is the State of Victoria's floral emblem.

There is always a Wattle tree out in flower and they always brighten up a dull winter's day.

Lots of replanting of the vegetation taking place

and there are always trees coming down over pathways etc. after the rain

Raindrops clinging on to the spikey branches.

There is always something different to see when going out for a walk.

That's all for now,

Last of the Autumn colours

The Winter season has just  begun and I saw these Ornamental Pear trees on my walk last weekend.

A Corkscrew Willow

and more Autumn colours to brighten up a dull day

Maidenhair Fern I noticed in the Owl Bushland Reserve growing wild.

That's all for now,
