It is such a lovely time of year...

even the azaleas are trying to bloom at last. With the temperature going up by a degree a day from 27 yesterday to 31 on Sunday, it won't be long before they are out

this little magpie came in to say hello as I sat out on the patio one morning

I don't think he was the same one as in the previous post

but he wasn't shy. He walked right up to me...and I couldn't get to focus the camera properly for the closer shots! He walked right on by when he realized I am not the lady who feeds him!

the orchids are a delight and continue to blaze away out there


I walked down to the shops to return my library books

I asked the librarian if could I take a photo through the huge windows they have there on the west...perfect spot to sit in our new library. Lovely.

And I took this photo of this palm tree in flower at a friend's place.

Pretty sure it was a Chinese Fan Palm

and the setting sun is such a delight, the way the light falls on the foliage at this time of year, I think.

This poor flowering pomegranate got a bit of a tough pruning from me before I went away earlier in the year. I was relieved to see it the leaves shooting again. I don't think it will flower this year though.
