Wattle Blossom

As winter begins to fade and spring is emerging the wattle blossom is very prevalent all over the countryside, with its bright yellow showing up quite clearly between the greens and greys of the hillsides.

Winter daisies

There are quite a few flowers starting to show now.  The daisies are out, and the camelias. We’ve got bulbs springing up all over our property. These are always a surprise as we didn’t plant most of them. I’ll share them with you as they flower over time.  Below are yellow daisies and a white one.

Lysterfield Lake in the sunshine

As the sun rose everything took on its full colour and the area was bathed in bright light. Really beautiful. Especially so because we’re in the middle of winter here. The following day we were back to grey skies, wind and rain.

Liquidamber in the Winter

This tree is outside my office window and one day last week we actually had some blue sky.  A hint of the Spring just around the corner.
