School holidays

9/23/2015

 
What's everyone doing these school holidays? 

We're looking forward to a road trip to visit my Grandmother at the seaside. 
Maybe we'll go to the beach, build some sandcastles, explore the rock pools and watch the seagulls.

Spring

9/20/2015

 
I was sitting outside enjoying the fragrance these jasmine flowers when a lovely butterfly showed up.

It's been a wonderful Spring so far. I've been enjoying my time in the garden watching the seeds we planted grow, the flowers open, the native stingless bees buzzing about and talking to a little wallaby and her Joey. 
All of the seasons are beautiful, in their own way, but at the moment this one is my favourite.
I hope you are all also enjoying the season you're in right now too.

Spring Fashion 

9/19/2015

 
It's Spring time again, the weather is delightful and the wattle is in flower.
I've been enjoying my time outside, as has Puss Puss the wallaby.

I think his wattle and spiderweb crown suits him quite well. Although, I'm not quite sure the fashion industry is ready for his special poses just yet...

Spot the Cockatoo

9/19/2015

 
I have been very busy lately, but not too busy to enjoy the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. I'll tell you more about what I have been up to later but for now I wanted to tell you about one cheeky Sulphur-crested cockatoo.

This cockatoo spent a few days throwing wattle around the yard from high up in the trees. There was little bits of wattle all over the place - on the ground, on the roof, on the clothesline and some even landed on my head!

I guess it was the cockatoo's version of getting the garden ready for Spring.
Here is a photo of the wild gardener in the trees.

And here is a photo of some wattle the cockatoo threw that landed on a pretty old piece of Ironbark in the garden.
