early morning walks, spring flora and fauna

I woke early this morning, so took the opportunity to go out for an early morning walk...and took my camera for a change. I was so delighted that these lorikeets were perched in this gorgeous tree in the early morning light!
a quiet moment in the garden...
bougainvillea...
hippeastrums....
the jacarandas are out already..that is always a surprise...
hibiscus....
I just love the colorful lorikeets....
delicate gerberas....
and the last of the orchids...are just hanging on for a little bit longer.
