Spring time etc.

This bee looks as though he wants to bury himself in the Banksia flower.

The Spring flowers have been lovely this year due to the good rainfalls we have had.

I was surprised to see this possum on the side of the footpath when I was out on one of my walks. Usually possums are nocturnal creatures.

Play time!

Yesterday some juvenile King Parrots visited our garden. This one still has not lost his green feathers.

This King Parrot is showing more of his lovely red/orange colours.

This King Parrot has taken a liking to the blossom on our almond tree!

The King Parrot has striking colours and brightens up a dull day.

Bears in the Heavens

I was very happy to hear that this quilt had arrived at its' destination. It had to travel all the way to England. I made this quilt for another one of my daughter's friends who had just given birth to a lovely baby boy. The quilt is called Bears in the Heavens and the designer is Dorothy Clark from Chocolate Coated.

More sewing done

This is another bag I have made. This one is called Nellie's Sewing Bag and is a Rosalie Quinlan Design. This bag will be very handy as it is four large pockets inside.

My walk today

Today was a lovely winter's day with sunshine. It was ideal for a walk. The weather bureau had predicted rain!

It was nice to see some water laying on the ground. Much different to summer when it is so dry.

The clouds were big and fluffy and the reflection of the sun made them stand out.

A vew of the Dandenong Ranges. In the background you can see the television towers.

It is the time when the lovely wattle trees are in bloom.

A pair of Galahs were sitting high in the gumtree. They are such a pretty pink colour.

My walk last week continued

These are some more of the photos I took on my walk along the Warburton Railway walking path.

On this particular stretch of the path they were doing some maintenance work.

I was lucky to see this Yellow-breasted Robin. The robin kept still long enough for me to take the picture.

The grape vines have lost their colourful leaves.

It is always a very pleasant time spent walking along the path with different things to see.

The remains of an old tree. Still interesting to look at.

My walk last week

This is the remains of the Seville Railway Station which was part of the line that ran from Lilydale to Warburton. The old railway line has been made into a recreational walking/bike path for the public to use.

A couple of buildings that have seen better days.

It was a chilly day and walking is just the thing to warm you up!

Two horses resting

The birds make use of the remainder of these trees for their habitat,

The trunks of the trees are all shedding their bark.

I will have more pictures in my next post.
