Before the Roses Bloom!

While many of our blogging friends are experiencing

shorter days with cooler weather

Spring is looming quick 

and fast in my part of the world, Downunder

so

just thought I would take you on a short walk around the garden as all the 

trees take on their new foliage and plants start to

remind us that they really are still there

and ready to pop!

 

 Spring - Glorious Spring!

 

Lush green leaves of this Oyster plant which self seeded

itself in this place as it is getting ready to flower!

 Aah! The Willy Wagtail has chosen the same spot

to nest again! Just look at the intricate weaving

on this dear little nest using spider webs!

 A perfect place to sit and ponder under the magnificent

Chinese Elms.

 

Little areas where Rhododendrons grow

under the shade of the Crab Apples.

 

while some shell pink Azaleas

shelter 

from the bright sunshine!

 Native irises grow either side of the steps leading down to

spreading garden beds that once was a paddock

for the Angora goats!

The exquisiteness of this pink tinged Cherry Blossom!

 and bushes of Lavender growing in and out of

May bushes and Orange Blossoms!

 

 

  

Just in this one spot there are three different varieties of Lavender

where the bees are at work!

 

 The fragrance from this white Wisteria is just

indescribable

 and it is only in its second year of growth

 growing happily over our little garden room.

The huge Eucalyptus trees in the background give you

an idea of the size they can grow to!

 

 The rose bushes are definitely shooting new growth 

on all the bushes now and in the distance

come our much loved Angora babies

curious as to what has been thrown over the fence for them

and this is Darcy

whose mohair fleece will be looking very much shorter

in a week's time when they are all shorn!

 

Contentment is getting to eat some yummy green

weeds that don't grow out in the paddock where these beauties

belong!

 

 I hope there is much contentment in your lives 

at the moment too!

Love and hugs,
