🌻 Wildflowers for Wednesday 🌻

A gallery of wildflowers for Friendly Friday, a three weekly challenge. This week it was Amanda’s turn over at Something to Ponder About.

Some of you may have seen these photos before as dear hubby and I have been on a couple of trips about two hours North of Perth. Wildflowers in this region start blooming from July.

The famous Wreath flower. These are truly amazing flowers and look like they’ve been handmade and left in the dirt. Their real name is Lechenaultia and flower from August in Western Australia.

This is a map of the one of the routes. There aren’t that many places to stay so booking accommodation is essential well ahead of time as it’s a very popular trip.

Stumped on Friday 🎋

I’m having a ball with trees for Becky’s July Squares and also Cee’s Trees or Tree parts. So I’ve gone out on a limb with these ones.

Does anyone know what the above tree is, it’s got me stumped

Trees for July Squares hosted by Becky at The Life of B and also for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Water in Nature.

Not the prettiest but a life well lived! They still have their uses as perches for birds. Taken this morning on my walk around Lake Claremont, Perth, WA.

A Mural for Monday

Painted by James Giddy, a Western Australian artist. His wildlife murals can be found around the world.

This week Debbie has set the one word Sunday challenge as rural. As it coincided with Father’s Day I thought I would combine the two. It’s been a while since I saw both my parents, coming up to a year. I was lucky enough to have them both with me for almost five months last year, because of Covid they were stuck here for much longer than planned.

I asked them to artfully arrange themselves on some hay bales at a winery we visited

A Winter’s Day in Perth

On a Thursday I play Mahjong with the ladies from my games group. We play in a beautiful restaurant in City Beach overlooking the ocean. We meet for breakfast first and then get down to playing. I’m only just learning so I come away with a frazzled brain!

I thought this photo was perfect for Cee’s Choose a Topic from my Photo, which I took just this morning.
