The Kings Park Festival is always a visual treat, each year as well as the abundance of spring flowers there are many delightful unexpected surprises. You've got to love the mind that came up with the idea of dressing the magnificent old gum tree that looks out over the city and the Swan River as.. the queen! Gown, sash, gloves and (you may have to pull the shot in a bit) crown, do you see it up there hanging at a jaunty angle.. excellent!
Kings Park is a très populaire destination at any time of the year but during the spring festival, on a warm day, well you can imagine! We thought we'd get there early before it got too busy.. the tour buses were even earlier..
Smile! Not gonna, won't, can't make me, didn't.. but I did :)
Ah well, the flowers are prettier.. love the chapeau!
Show you more 'funky trunks' in the park another time, oh look there's a bit of psychedelic madness going on below :) Hope your week is off to a happy start, take care and most of all stay safe...
Royal :o)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these and particularly the dressed up tree!! How fun and so creative for whomever thought it up!! Terrific captures as always, Grace! Hope your new week is off to a great start! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so much fun. What a brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a new one on me...and I just got done figuring I'd see it all! Great fun for all ages!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic exhibit. Love the tree dressed for a wedding!
ReplyDeleteDo you want the real queen sent over...?
ReplyDeleteHa, love the Queen tree in King's Park.
ReplyDeleteSome people have good imaginations, such as whoever saw the tree and thought to dress it like a queen.
ReplyDeleteLove the royal tree, Grace! There is something reassuring about you going into spring as we head into fall here. Looking forward to more pics from the park!
ReplyDeleteThat hat's kind of psychedelic, don't you think? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe last shot particularly appeals to me, Grace!
ReplyDeleteThat is an outstanding way to royally dress up a tree! What a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteVery clever the tree idea Grace, sounds like a fab event...
ReplyDeleteDid you curtsy before the Queen? It is appropriate that the tree is in King's Park. Love the woman's bright hat.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's really creative. Large-scale badminton, anyone?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful skirted tree! It is lovely to see your seasons change in opposition to ours. Welcome, spring!
ReplyDeleteIt is royal!
ReplyDeleteLove these shots - is that yarnbomb or paint in the last on? Enjoy the rest of the week. (Yes that was a pic of me!)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, and your text in them are nice.
ReplyDeleteThe dressing tree is so fantastic.
The tree looks like our Queen on Prince's Day!
ReplyDeleteReally fun and cool as well, Grace. Awww. Ingo wants to visit for New Years (not this year!), but now I tend to prefer this time of the year!
ReplyDeleteBro owns a chapeau claque, btw :-)
I thought I was seeing things for a minute there--a tree wearing a dress? How clever!
ReplyDeleteI love how the trees were dressed this Spring festival. Kings Park is always a winner!
ReplyDeleteI love HRH, what a clever idea and I can see her crown. Lovely photos, lovely blue sky, lovely weather as you enter spring and summer. We have rain, lots of rain, evenings drawing in and chilly temp's as we enter autumn and winter :-(
ReplyDeleteYou really do have some of the most creative people residing in your part of the world. What a clever idea and what fun to see all these. The queen looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe dressing up of the tree is very creative and you have some wonderful candid captures too!!
ReplyDeleteNeat trees.
ReplyDeletePerth is so artsy! I love the whimsy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a series of fun photos. The dressed up tree looks like a queen of the ball. And that hat... o that hat...what can I say...
