From one day to the next

The skies across Perth this week have been vastly different from one day to the next. We are used to the bluest skies, but with bush fires raging across Perth the sky has turned grey.

We live a good 30 minutes away but there has been ash in the garden and the smell of smoke was very strong.

Over 70 homes were lost in these fires, along with all possessions. The fires spread so quickly that residents had to flee as quickly as possible. To make matters worse, thieves took whatever was left!

Smokey skies one day

Red and Pink Skies the next day

Battling beautiful bushy bougainvillea brambly branches

Hubby hard at work trimming branches

This is a job that needs to be done at least four times a year. Beautiful to look at but a pain to maintain! The more you cut the more it grows.

Let’s throw caution to the wind

“You might just fly”

A Walk with Rufus on Saturday

I don’t walk often enough but now Spring is here it’s about time I got out a bit more! Trouble is I don’t like walking alone so I’ve started to take Rufus again. My dear hubby takes both dogs every day for two hours, so Rufus had a little treat this morning.

There are still wildflowers in abundance along the path and I also found a raspberry bush, I was tempted to pick a few, maybe I’ll go back! All the footy teams were out for their Saturday matches.

Sadly I had to leave Zac as the two of them together can’t behave

“Seas the Day, Catch a Wave”

I took these two photos today on my weekly walk along Cottesloe beach. Glorious winter sunshine, although today the breeze was quite chilly. I saw all the surfers trying to catch a wave and wondered how they don’t knock each other off their boards. Walking along the the pathway was so busy today, we were dodging cyclists, runners, dog walkers and other walkers but it’s so nice to walk along by the sea. One of my favourite places to go, although I will wait until the hot summer months before I take a dip!
