In Queensland we get our rain in the summer months. It is then that the dried up earth and shrivelled up plants of the dry winter months suddenly burst into life again. Everything turns green and colourful and the weeds go berserk. For those suffering drab winter days, here is some hot, wet colour from my garden.
You are so lucky to get rain through summer Diane, we're parched over here. Your garden looks so lush and gorgeous, a real tropical garden.
ReplyDeleteHello Diane, your flowers and garden are looking beautiful! Lovely images.. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous of you. You live the most wonderful part of our planet. I am sure..
ReplyDeleteWell captured and lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for Australian blogs! And photographers like you, Diane. We definitely need some color and hep up here in the frozen tundra! You have a beautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteeach and every one of these screams summer very loudly... they are GORGEOUS...
ReplyDeletemy eyes just drank this in!
ReplyDeleteVery nice first shot, would be interesting for a architectural design.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Ahhhhh, I needed that!. These are beautiful shots, Diane. I especially love the first one. It is dull gray and brown in my 'neck of the woods', but I'm not complaining, because we have had an especially mild winter with very little snow and ice to worry about slipping on and shoveling.
ReplyDeleteSummer rain is nice, the sticky, muggy feeling that often comes after it not so nice, these flowers bloody nice though
ReplyDeleteThe color from your garden is beautiful. I only wish you could send us some of that rain -- we've had a dry spell lately.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I am a little surprised to see plants I would not have thought would tolerate humidity very well.
ReplyDeleteThese beautiful flowers cheer me up ! Here it is all dull, naked and grey !
ReplyDeleteLots of nice summer colour there Diane. I am already seeing signs of the autumn shut down here.
ReplyDeleteSo like my life in South Africa. Our garden looked dead over the dry winter months then suddenly the rains arrived and the place was a picture. These photos have cheered me up no end, there is little colour in our garden at present but new buds give hope of spring on the way. Take care t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bursts of color! All I am seeing right now is yellow grass and bare limbs. Although my new Japanese magnolia is blooming, so that's exciting.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous... I love seeing COLOR---especially when we are experiencing a drab winter here... That makes spring and summer look so much more inviting.... Glad you are getting lots of rain... The plants and flowers love them I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Well those of us in dry winter shriveled up MT appreciate the pictures of your rains and plants. I want to close my eyes and smell all the lovely tropicals!!
ReplyDeleteColorful ... And some of those plants are blooming right now here in Florida, . It's different here. Summer is the rainy season here too ... We try to take advantage of all the rain does, without actually being present for it.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is enjoying its bounty from the skies... everything smells so nice too doesn't it! Lovely photos Diane :D)
ReplyDeleteThey're ALL lovely, but of course the RED ones are my favourites! 'Wet' and 'Colour' are very welcome down south as well!
