A trip to the zoo

I can't come to Melbourne without taking the grandchildren to the zoo.  Melbourne has a great zoo and while I don't really like them, this one does at least give most of the animals very good enclosures in which to while away their lives.

My two Aussie grandchildren loved their day out and we saw lots of animals, visited the butterfly house which is a magical place, and I found a few flowers I had never seen before, so we all had a happy time!





My 2 year old grandson, who never stops moving, zonked out during the return train journey!  I could hardly believe it!  Defeated - at last!

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.
