In the Garden...

It's been a bit of 'Four Seasons in One Day' here at my home...Just before a huge hail storm hit Sydney this afternoon I took these images of my beautiful flowering Crab Apple tree that I thought I'd share with you for a Monday! I think I was just in time to capture some of the larger blossoms - their petals can fall like pieces of blush pink tissue paper. Enjoy ...

1st Sept - Spring on our Door Step...

For some it's the 1st Day of Spring - 1st September {southern hemisphere} some would argue the equinox is the turning point but here in Australia it isn't all that obvious some days hit high 20's some mid - teen's. But what is obvious is the the fresh lime green for new buds on Japanese maples, Chinese Tallowood, and my flowering Crab Apple tree, and not to mention the white full buds of the juicy creamy white Gardenias!
