SPRING IS IN THE AIR

The last few days have been sunny and warm and flowers are blooming, so its nearly Spring. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather. It was so nice that I encouraged Bill to go for a walk. We went to one of our favourite places for a short walk, Underwood Lagoon. Hoping not to bore you with more photos of this place. It is a five minute drive from home.

We were met in the carpark by a goose and some moorhens.

We walked along the path, which encircles the lagoon. There has been some new plantings on the right with the muddy lagoon on the left. We have had a lot of rain, which washes silt into the lagoon.

You know spring is close when bright, yellow, wattle is blooming. It is our national flower.

Sit for a rest and a peaceful interlude.

A white ibis. Their nickname is "Bin Chicken". Can you guess why?

Melaleuca, (Paperbark or Tea-trees) love having their roots in water.

On the move again.

A water dragon sunning itself.

It runs away with an amusing gait.

Back where we started.
