At Autumn time the mornings can be quite cold but we are always rewarded with a lovely sunny day to enjoy The Silver Birch trees always stand out with their silver trunks   I saw this car during one of my walks to brighten up the day  Below is the the Candlestick Banksia in our front garden.  Lastly below is one of the lovely sunrises we have been able to enjoy  I hope everyone keeps safe during this uncertain time. That's all for now, Nessie |

| 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, Nessie |
 |
| 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, Nessie |
 |
| 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, Nessie |
 |
| 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 Nessie |
 |
| 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, Nessie |
