Ah…you spring arrives and our autumn falls…enjoyed the poems and photos.
Thanks slpmartin – it’s our turn now for the warmth 😉
Colours! Waoh!
Beautiful!
Thanks Benedicte 🙂 I’m still waiting to get my camera fixed, so the photos aren’t as clear as I like, but you get the picture.
Yup, Autumn here: enjoyed those beautiful words and colours.
Thanks Kate 🙂
How nice to think that it is spring somewhere — summer is ending here and autumn around the corner ….
You have definitely captured the excitement.
Thanks Aletha 🙂
Wow – your bottlebrush reds are so vivid – I’ve just looked at my little bottlebrush in the garden and it’s looking a bit sad and faded.
“colour intensifies with heat” – like chilli, looks good enough to eat to a lorikeet – I love the way the lorikeet in the top photo is so well camouflaged
That tree has come alive this year, whereas it wasn’t doing so good in previous years bluebee – we had to remove a nearby tree that spit dangerously, so maybe the callistemon is just happy to have the extra room and less competition.
absolutely love this time of year Gabe!
it just needs to warm up a bit more Graham (got really cold since the weekend – really weird weather we are having)
I do love seeing the lorikeets in the bottlebrush. Sometimes they just sit there and twitter softly. It’s so cute. I really like the line ‘sweet liquid in a bottlebrush.’ That is excellent!
Thanks Selma – they are such funny birds, full of personality – the lorikeet looked like he owned the bottlebrush tree (surveying his domain of bottled red 🙂 )
