You know it’s Autumn when

Cream Rose
May 14, 2021
I took some pics of this rose from my garden. I’m curious as to which shot people prefer. There is some variation; some just off the camera others, not. Feedback?
A rose for you too, Cee. For Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD)
Lantana
April 9, 2021
I love the smell of Lantana. I also love the flowers. In Australia it’s widely regarded as a nasty invasive weed. No wonder. Mine has just exploded with growth. It’s huge. I have only one plant and it hasn’t spread to anywhere nearby. I Prune it savagely to keep it under control. It’s well away from livestock. Apparently its poisonous. How can something so beautiful, have so many negative aspects?

April

It’s April, mid Autumn here and still quite warm. The flowers are fading. Here is one of my dahlias I grew from seed, waving its petals around in protest.

Thistles
March 11, 2021
In my last post I had a picture of thistles on my farm. Today I’ll have a closer look.
I guess they’re flowers. For Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge (FOTD)
The Back Lagoon
March 10, 2021
Anyone who is following my blog should realise that most of my photos are taken somewhere on my 80 acre farm. I am lucky to live is a unique wetland environment, in a very dry country. My farm is surrounded be waterways, either lagoons or channels. These pics were taken at the back of my farm directly adjacent to a lagoon.
The baby birds in the previous posts live in a tree down here. The thistles are weeds but quite picturesque.
At the moment pelicans and ducks seem to have taken up residence. Just around the corner I counted over 40 ibis.
Gum trees grow along the banks.
I couldn’t get any closer to this chap. He was watching me take photos from a distant tree.
It’s a totally isolated spot. No one else ventures here. There are some neighbours on the other side of the water. I love the peace and quiet. Even the weeds look picture perfect.

Orchid

My friend has this beautiful orchid sitting on her verandah. The color was really striking.

Looking back on summer
March 2, 2021
Today is the first day of Autumn in Australia. Where I live it is still quite warm. These roses were blooming beautifully during the summer.

Sunflowers : close to the end
February 22, 2021
The beautiful parrots are happily munching away on the sunflower seeds. They seem to have a very methodical approach. There are still a few seeds left.
