END OF CUP DAY

WELL I HAVEN'T DONE half the things i'd intended, got carried away with watching the cup and fashions but i had a wander round the garden and took some shots.

 I'm so excited to realise

that the willy-wagtails

i've been watching aren't

just my usual pair, but

the two babies that have

hatched while i was

away.  i was sure this

very exposed little nest

would be raided by

kookas or butcher birds

but no.  Lovely to 

watch the family

ouside my window.

the garden is coming out in a blaze of colour :0)

lovely jacobean lilies - mum had these but i have heaps :0) 

Add caption

i have oleanders all

over the place - they're a

strong memory of

kefalonia for me -

tough as buggary

and i love the flowers.

and yes - i know 

they're poisonous,

along with a 

million other 

things we don't eat

opium poppies have popped up in numbers this year after a couple of tries - thanks helen and don

my own
beautiful
jacaranda,
there are
three here
but keeping
them all
watered is
an effort, 
this one is in
a spot that
gets
attention 

GREVILLEA ROBUSTA, a spectacular tree

    the fabulous hippies - just love the colours
