Blazing from Winter to Spring

In no time at all it will officially be Spring here in Australia!  
It already feels like it's here with longer days, warm breezes, 
and the smell of native daphne floating on the air.
Sharing here that transition from frost-chilled orange juice for breakfast and bonfires, 
to the buzzing of busy bees around a bottlebrush in balmy Bellingen!


  the cattle were inquisitive when we cleared a fence line and had a bonfire



Crimson Rosella


Native daphne or sweet pittosporum which I read is becoming a weed in some areas.  
Sad because the perfume is delicious

flowering pear blossom 

budding tulip tree against the moon 

Australian red cedar (Toona ciliata var. australis) ~ new pink growth.  
I'll tell you more about this wonderful tree soon.

bottle brush (don't ask me which one!)


I was listening to a program which spoke about the demise of the awareness of the seasons
because so many of us have air conditioned houses, cars and work places 
and so the seasons can pass without us feeling or noticing any change.

If this is the case, then I feel very sorry for those people
but I for one will keep on seeing and sensing the seasons
 and I'm pretty sure you will too!

Bye for now
