This is the same area that I took the photos of the boxing Kangaroos a few posts ago. The 53 hectacre piece of natural bushland called
Hepburn Heights adjoining
Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park is in the northern suburbs and five minutes away from where I live. It is at anytime of the year (as long as it's not raining) a fantastic place to walk, but now in spring when it's awash with the fragrance of my all time favourite the wild freesias, well then it's absolute bliss! Do you have a special flower that welcomes in the changing of the season for you? Here we are at the beginning of a new week once more, scary to think Christmas is just around the corner..No, not thinking about it!! Happy Monday, hope it's a good one, take care and stay safe.....
I'd think that was heaven. When I was a little girl I was a bridesmaid and wore a circlet of freesias in my hair. I've loved the scent ever since. I so wish we were arriving at spring like you, instead of autumn!
ReplyDeleteAaah! .... I can almost smell them from here. That 2nd pic is a real beaut (not to denigrate the 1st!).
ReplyDeleteSehr schön solch große Anzahl dieser netten Blumen...
ReplyDeleteLieben Gruß

Nut just around the corner, but we are already thinking of it!
ReplyDeleteOh, they're gorgeous and I can smell them from here! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Grace! Hope you've had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again.
ReplyDeleteFreesias are my favourite spring flower too .. and ... my dear Dad is at Pinnaroo with all those kangaroos ... and he used to pick bouquets of freesias for me every spring - they always remind me of him, the fragrance is gorgeous.
This post - again - brings him closer ...
Great title and a very smelly post! Pretty, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely such a field of flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,

Autumn started here today.
ReplyDeleteHoneysuckle reminds me of summer...lovely photo of the freesia! I love the smell - wish I had some right now!
ReplyDeleteMy memory bank is switching on and freesia scent IS heaven sent!! How glorious Grace.
DeleteI love the smell of hyacinths in the spring. These are great shots, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this much needed escape into such beautiful an oasis.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good new week.
They are my fave too. Never get tired of them. Would love to have a garden full of them! Fiona
ReplyDeleteI'll bet they smell as beautiful as they look.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of these! Such beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteIntoxicating post! Ho Ho Ho
ReplyDeleteAloha from Honolulu,
Wishing you a sweet week ahead!

They're gorgeous! I think I can smell them from here. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to the old idea of smell-o-vision? It would be nice to have that on my laptop right now.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how fragrant this park is in the spring. I agree with Bob Crowe... smell-o-vision is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Lovely shots again.
ReplyDeleteOh it must be wonderful to walk among all those scented flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour photo coupled with your description sound wonderful. If only I could catch a whiff through my computer screen! We don't have a heck of a lot of flowers that trigger seasonal changes here in Florida (at least for me, anyway). When I lived in Michigan, though, I loved the fragrance of lilacs in the summer. Aaaah! Hope all's been good in your corner of the world.
ReplyDeletefriends sent us flowers this weekend .. a mix of white roses, hydrangea, small orchids and buds of freesia .. which opened last nite and this morning the aroma was deee-vine .. a whole garden of them would overwhelm the senses i think .. but in such a wonderful way
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Grace. I can feel the fragrance wafting through the air as you were walking through here. A happy week to you also.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, they smell so good!
ReplyDeleteLovely sea of flowers! Arianna
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful flowers!...
ReplyDeleteamazing form & colours!

Can't believe you're thinking about Christmas already!!! Shame on you:) I love the flower power...looks like a great spring!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful...wild freesias are such a pleasure aren't they? I know just what the scent would be like as I was smelling them at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba at the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe perfume from wild freesias is just delicsious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely spot!
