CFFC: Reed, Read or Red 🌾 📚 🥀

Time for another challenge! There are so many to choose from, thanks to all those bloggers who are happy to host. This one is hosted by Cee Neuner, Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.

I’ve managed to find something for all three 😁

Reeds

Some of my Reads of this year

I really enjoyed all three of these books and can highly recommend. Invisible Girl is my book for February Book Club, a psychological thriller set in London. Magpie Lane also a psychological thriller this time set in Oxford around the university and lastly The Other Bennet Sister a spin off from Pride and Prejudice – did you ever wonder what happened to Miss Mary Bennet?

Red

Beautiful Red Roses, a mother’s day gift

Macro Monday

I dusted off my Canon Powershot SX730 and took a few macros from around the garden. I have to admit that I haven’t had that much success with this camera, mostly too blurry because of camera shake.

This wasp has got himself into a right mess

A Gem in Perth, Kings Park

As I live in this beautiful city of Perth I thought it was about time to do a post on Kings Park. It’s great for a short stroll or a longer walk, a picnic or a play with your kids. There are a few cafes and restaurants there where you can eat and enjoy the fantastic view over the Swan River. There are many memorial services performed here each year and it’s here they have the Remembrance Day Service in front of the Cenotaph.

Kings Park and Botanic Garden is one of the largest inner city parks in the world and is visited by over 6 million people each year. It’s larger than Central Park covering 400.6-hectares.

It first opened on 10 August 1895, and was originally called Perth Park and was renamed in 1901 to King’s Park – the apostrophe was later dropped. This was to mark the ascension to the British throne of King Edward VII and the visit to Perth of George, the Duke of Cornwall and Princess Mary.
