As I was sitting out in the sun one day, I happened to see a lizard. Decided to take some photos. Had no idea until the last couple, as I moved around the other side of her, that she was actually laying eggs into one of  the holes she had dug! I think she is a water dragon, and I think it seems as if the eggs take 12 weeks to hatch. I wonder how many of them will make it? I hope I didn't frighten her! Think she might be one of the lizards I saw the other day, and I think I posted some photos of the two of them then, not all that long ago. Hope you too have the time to sit and relax, and enjoy the world around you this week. And to observe something remarkable about God's creation also.

No words needed really, especially as I am never certain of the names of these flowers. Enjoy.

Wisteria..one of my all time favourites... the always beautiful daisies... Just a few of the wonderful spring gardens in Toowoomba, mainly from Picnic Point. Will have to save some of the best for the next post. Hope you are able to enjoy flowers from a  garden, wherever you are today. May God Bless You and Keep You.

My entry for Donna's photo competition comes from a trip to Toowoomba for a visit last weekend. On the way to and from I enjoy checking out how College's crossing (west of Brisbane), is going after it was almost all  washed away in the big floods from a few years ago. The structures are coming back, not quite so many yet, but a little cafe, toilet facilities, of course the river is the main attraction, especially popular on a warm weekend like last.  One more less spectacular  photo below, gives the explanation for the name of the area, a place very near where my grandmother was born up along the river a little, and around the same era. Maybe that is why I am often drawn to this place and its history. Many thanks to Donna from Cottage Days and Journeys for hosting this little competition to which some of us look forward, even though sometimes I have, like today, used a photo from my cell phone.... all I had on hand when I actually stopped to make a phone call to ...

emerged from the garage to find these new friends hanging around the other day! Have a great week, hope you find some new or old friends to hang out with this week too!
