"Naughty, but nice!"

At last the temperatures in Melbourne are dropping and we have enjoyed two days and, particularly, two nights of considerably cooler weather.  It has been a blessed relief to be able to go to bed and not lie in a sweaty heap all night!

During the swelter we were drawn to look at a fountain along St Kilda Road which we have passed many times on the tram.  When we arrived to enjoy the sight of the refreshing jets of water some joker had been there before us and I think he, or she, must have emptied a bottle of Fairy Liquid into the fountain.  It's tempting to be irritated by that sort of behaviour, but as one passerby said to me "Naughty, but nice", and I had to agree!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
