WOLLEMI PINE

Finally planted my Wollemi Pine that I have had sitting in a pot on the deck. Believed to be a pre-historic plant, that has just recently been rediscovered. Check out their great web site.

Rose- todays photo of the miniture rose, think this will be the last.

Compared to yesterday

Hibiscus- not many flowers on any of the hibiscus plants at present thats why I noticed this one.

More balloons today, however they were much higher, but I managed to take one of both in the same frame.

DRAGONFLY

Finally I did it, but a bit like my joke, that I thought one might have to land on the lens before I would get a pic. This one actually landed at my feet while I was busy trying to keep sight of a big red one. Took heaps of very blurry photos of the red one. It just was not interested enough in what it was doing not to notice me moving closer.

Seaside daisy

LadyBird
The ladybird was on a rose leaf otherwise I would never have noticed him

Now I sort of think this is a butterfly

Shrub, that I think has the common name of geisha girl. It's flowers weep down and when it is in full bloom looks really lovely.

ROUND ROBINS - ABC'S of AUTUMN
KINDEST MONTHS
I moved to Queensland because I hated the winter weather in Victoria. However I hadn't realised how much I would miss Autumn, which of course happens in the months of March, April and May in the southern hemisphere. I think of them as the kindest months as they come after the long hot humid days of summer. Even in Victoria they were a relief from very hot dry heat with Febuary being the worst. It was as if summer was having a last hurrah, just as we returned to school after the summer holidays.

Up here we have lots of palm trees and evergreens, besides it doesn't get cold enough for the trees to lose there leaves until the winter months. The display is, one of a bit of yellow then they drop. So I miss the beautiful change and variety of colours and the sound of leaves rustling and crunching beneath your feet. These 3 photos were taken in the UK last year.
