Sunday lunch

admired the wonderful bunch of flowers
after early service in the old Pioneer church
and noticing that the wattles are about to burst into bloom already...
we were invited to Sunday lunch...
a lovely time outside in the sun....
a small breeze blowing, reminding that it is winter here in our sub-tropical paradise...


the differently colored zygocactus was amazing....
so were the lavender pots of blooms
and these gorgeous leaves...
nice to have time to chat
over a lovely shared meal....
the remains of the day....
elegant sufficiency..
and at the end of the day...
time to go home....
come again another day!

Hi,

I just did a post about possums which I hope you are not offended. I came to visit because of your name, and I like to visit Anne, Anns and Annies.

I was in Australia during the summer,the two photos were taken on the Gold Coast.

Annie - These are absolutely GORGEOUS, my favorites are the first one (the colors and the flowers are special enough, but you captured the light hitting it perfectly) and the (now I've forgotten how far down it was...) third-ish one with the ______ that's getting ready to bloom and the plant looks like snowflakes. This is your winter? It's spectacular.

Yes, I did take a special effort to take that first photo in the light of the winter sun shining in the window. And yes, the wattles are very pretty. Especially the leaves on the tree as well!
