I went with a group of photographers last weekend to the Rhododendron Gardens in Olinda, Vic. It was a wet day but it was beautiful there and we enjoyed the sights we saw. Here are some of them. A couple of the photographers I was visiting with enjoying one of the paths and scenery We…

Winter flowers
With winter upon us, the garden was looking drab there for a bit. We had to clear up a lot of dead and wet leaves on the pathways and driveway, but now they’ve been cleared up, the garden is looking more defined, and as we’ve really begun looking at the garden again, we can see…
Autumn in the Ranges
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…
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.
After the sunset
There was still colour around and activity, boats coming in for the night, people on the jetty, birds still flying in to roost.
Mordialloc Sunset
More of the sun as it was going down – it really only took a short time, probably a minute or two at most for this last lot to happen.
Mordialloc Sunset
I loved as the sun got lower the colours got richer and deeper.
Mordialloc Sunset
More images from the sunset. There were a lot of birds around, it was lovely watching them and they added to the scene.
Mordialloc Sunset
We’ve been getting the most amazing sunsets lately and after a few days I decided I really wanted to get down to a beach to shoot a sunset. After checking the map for nearest beaches and discussion with my husband, I decided to go down to Mordialloc as there is also a marina down there…
Sunset at home
We don’t get to see much of the sunsets at home because of all the bushland at the back of our property. When the sun sets southward we just can’t see it at all but on Sunday night Graham came and knocked on the office window and told me I should get outside quickly to…
A touch of Autumn
It’s now officially Autumn here, although I’ve seen signs of it coming in some of the plant life since February. Here, in our own garden, one of our Liquidamber trees and the Weeping Oak have begun to show their colours through their leaves. I know it’s only a few weeks before our whole garden puts…
Signs of Autumn
I’m loving seeing the signs of Autumn on its way. Our Liquidamber trees have leaves with changing colours and I’ve noticed many other different trees in our area with leaves turning mainly yellow, but some with orange as well. Of course, if you weren’t looking for it, you wouldn’t notice as most of the leaves…
