A Spring Stroll

Officially, Spring is a few days away yet but the flowers and the weather aren't aware of that. Here are a few photos from a lovely little walk we did today through the Marcus Beach dunes.

Flowering Gum

One of my favourite flowers - always reminds me of May Gibbs children's books.

Falling in love with a flower....

I think I am in love....with a flower. The Barambah Creek Hibiscus to be exact, which I had the pleasure of stumbling across at the Mt Coot-tha Botanical gardens here in Brisbane. I love the name, the crinkly leaves, the muted tones and the mysterious buds.

warratahs are my favourites

Here's a snippet of a beautiful warratah I snapped at Canberra's flower festival last weekend.

Flowers for a rainy day

It's been a quiet day, just a bit drizzly to start with, but the rain has set in for a while now. A good day to take some macro shots of the lovely native flowers I got for my birthday.
