we ventured upon a fashion parade in the city square. It was for the Lord Mayor’s Student Welcome. Naturally we all stopped to try our hands at model photography.

Winter Visit to Cloudehill Gardens 5
I’d be most remiss if I didn’t mention the sculptures there on display. There are quite a few, plus other ornaments. It really does add to the gardens.
Winter Visit to Cloudehill Gardens 3
It might be winter but there are still interesting things to see on display in the gardens. I never found out what these are: This is holly. I’m told that it’s a weed or pest in this area but I’d not seen it before and thought it looked lovely. It’s something often seen on Christmas…
Winter Visit to Cloudehill Gardens 2
Still on the same topic. I love the architecture and pathways in this place. It’s so beautifully done. It’s created on a 3.3ha property and used to be a flower farm we learnt while listening to the owner. I’d love to put pathways on some of our property and do ‘rooms’ of plants. In the…
Last of the Autumn colours
Winter has set in here in Victoria, Australia, and we’re experiencing cold days and nights, and rain, with a bit of sunshine here and there. Our first week of June had the equivalent of the average month of June’s rain. So will be interesting to see what pans out for the rest of the month. …
Asiatic Lily
Of course, we don’t just have white flowers and grevilleas in the garden. After being given a bunch of flowers awhile back with gorgeous lilies in them, I actually bought one to put in the garden. Isn’t this beautiful?
The colour white
Everywhere you look in our garden at the moment, there is the colour white. Don’t know if this was by design of the previous owners of our home, or by accident. Our plum tree is going to burst into blossom very soon. We’ve been watching it every day as we open our bedroom curtains. At…
Pretty entry
This is the entry to my driveway. The Azalea flowers in both Spring and Autumn and stays in flower through to Summer and Winter. So it’s almost in flower all year round. Pretty, isn’t it?
Winter still has colour and beauty
I’ve been wondering around our garden in the cool, almost frost air this past week. We’ve had rain, but some sunshine too. Wind and very cold. There’s no doubt we’re in the middle of winter here in Victoria, Australia. But, for all that, we’ve got beauty and it’s not all drab and bare trees. Our…
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…
Images of winter at home
I’ve not been outside much for a few days. We’ve had a lot of rain here and one day was extremely windy and very cold. Doesn’t make for a nice time to wander around the garden or elsewhere. Today I did get out a bit, between showers though and very quickly I discovered a rainbow….
