Autumn is here once again. My favourite time of year. Warmish days, cooler nights, beautiful imagery. The flowers, the changing tree colours, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, lovely scenery all round. It really is a picturesque place to live and I love it here in the Dandenong Ranges. We have autumn flowers coming out now and…

Spring flowers
Still playing with my macro lens, I’m enjoying some close ups of our spring flowers in the garden.
Pretty Anemones
A member of the Ranunculaceae family, these flowers are simple, single petaled, pretty flowers in a variety of colours and variations. A sign that Spring is just around the corner here in Australia.
Dying signs of Autumn
Although it is winter now we still have some Autumn colours around but not a lot. The last tree to lose its leaves is on view through this bird feeder.
Winter images in our garden
We have a variety of mushrooms popping up everywhere. Mainly tiny ones like the ones below. The larger of the three tiny ones has 3 very tiny yellow bugs on it. I’ll have to go out again with my macro to see if I can pick up what the bugs might be. The other is…
Winter flowers
Now that winter is setting in here in Victoria, Australia, the winter flowers are out in bloom and one recent day we did have sunshine and blue skies. Below are images from our own garden and that of our neighbour’s.
Beautiful morning
We are now in the months of winter here in Australia and in my own state of Victoria, it has already gotten particularly cold, and wet. We had a long weekend this past weekend and Graham and I had nothing in particular planned. Just taking each day as it comes. Saturday and Sunday were days…
Last of Autumn
Winter has definitely been on the way for some weeks now. Cold days, cold nights, wind and rain and we’ve been getting the occcasional gorgeous Autumn day here and there. These are Autumn leaves from our Liquidamber tree in our garden. As you read this post today, we’re busy getting ready for our daughter’s wedding…
Huge leaf
Saw this huge leaf on the ground at home the other day and wondered where on earth it had come from. Then as I wandered around the garden I noticed a tall tree at the side of our property that I’d not taken a lot of notice of in the past and realised the leaf…
Our Autumn garden
Some might think it messy and others colourful but our Liquidambers are definitely putting on a show at our home right now.
Beautiful Crepe Myrtle
Our Crepe Myrtle has turned the most beautiful colour. It probably won’t be long before it loses all of its leaves. Sunday was a beautifully glorious day with blue skies and the leaves look just wonderful with the blue background, don’t you think?
Aging Mushroom
We’ve had only a very small number of mushrooms in the garden so far. I’m hoping we get a lot more as we have had in previous Autumns. This one was a large white one that started to keel over. I liked the colouring underneath and then noticed a bug on the stem once I…
