I like looking out my study window in Spring. I can see the native flowering trees and the ground cover rampaging through the garden. It is especially pretty when the rain falls and cleans everything but it is also nice when the afternoon sun lights up the flowers. It beckons me away from my computer to go outside and enjoy the beauty. Come along with me for a stroll around my garden.
What a gorgeous garden Diane So much colour and the photos are sublime
ReplyDeleteNo surprise that you can expertly show individual flowers in your garden, but I like big photos of the rampaging growth. The first photo has cockatoo in its file name, yet I can't see one.
ReplyDeleteHow can you see the file name smarty pants? When I imported the photos into Lightroom I must have used Cockatoo as the file name as there were also photos of a cockatoo with the same batch. Poor organisation on my part. The birds in my garden will feature on a future post then you will see the cockatoo.
DeleteBeautiful garden, Diane. And your close-ups are perfect!
ReplyDeleteDiane your garden is so beaituful and you have green fingers. We are waiting for winter but youhave a fantastic spring
ReplyDeleteI love the meadowy look of the 2nd shot. Spring has been springing out everywhere in my garden too and grass has been growing ever so quickly.
ReplyDeleteHello Diane, I enjoyed the stroll around your gardens. Lovely flowers and native plants. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeletethanks for the walk in your wonderful garden, I would be out there to. we need rain, our ground cover is not happy and neither are the ferns. 2 months ago we got 15 inches in 2 days and not one drop since. the yard is pure sand now
ReplyDeleteYour gardens put a smile on my face. I love the focus of your close-up photos. Early this morning, I was on the deck in my robe, yelling and waving, trying to get 3 moose to move away from my aspens. Hope that idea makes you smile, too! Thanks for the e-mail.
ReplyDeleteAh! A beautiful stroll around your pretty garden - love the blues and the golds
ReplyDeleteLooks like the ferocious hail storms have not been in the Daisy Hill area.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Terrigal, St.Ives and the Hunter Valley.
Away hopefully from this damn humidity.

I love looking out your window too! Gorgeous! The flowers are plum amazing
ReplyDeleteNice view for you then, and isn't it good to have a lovely garden..so many people don't have.
ReplyDeleteBumped into a Blue Tongue Lizard down here today, so it must be spring - but its still chilly really!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
I can see why you get distracted Diane, your garden looks a delight. Gardens love a tropical climate. I'm beginning to ready my garden for the hot summer. I did hear that this was going to be Perth's wettest summer, I'm so hoping that that's true 😊
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity that you are not living next door !! Such a beautiful garden !
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are just gorgeous! What is the fourth one from the top, yellow with orange center? What a lot of work to make it so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the best with names of flowers but I after using Google I can tell you it is called Xerochrysum bracteatum, its common name is Everlasting Straw Flower or Australian Paper Daisy. It has hard prickly petals.
DeleteOh wow the spring garden is so much nicer than the autumn garden I think and the following season is also so much better!!! I hate winter. Keep well t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you for this stroll around your lovely garden Diane - I can understand its entrancing ability to entice one away!
ReplyDeleteSo much greenery and color right outside your door! Spring is looking lovely there in Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteThe colors are wonderful! Spring was always so welcome when we lived here in Oregon all year round .... nowadays we miss the season In both definitions of the word, since Florida doesn't show quite such a contrast bwteen winter and spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely flowers, I so enjoyed seeing them:)
ReplyDeleteI love my garden but the contrast between yours and my salt-air-laden-windswept island garden is huge!
ReplyDeleteI'm so loving your garden! It's so different from mine even though we are neighbors.
