The artichokes have grown






Looking around the garden for white flowers.



We’ve had 25 ml (or one inch) of rain in 4 days. For where I live this is wet! We don’t usually have such fluffy clouds. The rain knocked all the blossom off this poor plant before the bees could finish their work.



This plant has never looked so white and pretty. But they’re the wrong flowers for this potplant!

This little visitor stayed around for a few day. He was by the roadside at a water inlet. It was exciting to see him each time I drove past. He did keep his distance, making it difficult to take photos. He stayed on ‘the other side’ of a little pool so I couldn’t sneak up on him. Then, he disappeared.



I went out in search of a reported swan with her babies, on a cold and miserable afternoon. I couldn’t find the swan but there were plenty of ibis. I’m not pleased with my hurried snaps, so I’ll go again. They were beautiful.






Little birds are so good at hiding, so difficult to photograph. I knew they were in there but they weren’t going to pose for a photo.



Springtime brings out these beautiful bells.



Posing beautifully and very patiently for me.
