It looks like I've gotten carried away with an overload of pics (again) but there's one for each day I'll be away :) As from tomorrow I'll be 'orchestrating' plumber, electrician, tiler and more to work in harmony (wonder if a bit of Vivaldi might keep a calm workplace?) & by the end of the week with a bit of luck I may be cooking in comfort once more, although I've grown surprisingly attached to my one burner hot plate! A few last shots of the
Spring Festival in Kings Park. Along with fields of wildflowers, long stretches of lush green lawn and exotic plants from around the world, there were a few new things this year like the decorated E.H. Holden's I showed you
here and the 'yarn bombing' below. The story of
the journey of the giant Boab tree is quite astounding, but as you can see (last shot) it's doing well and loving it's new home overlooking the Swan River. Don't you love the benches wrapped lovingly around the tree, what a spot to sit and absorb the atmosphere of the park on a spring day, you just know the view will be fab! Take care of yourselves while I'm away, stay safe and I look forward to catching up in a few days....take care!
Wonderful! I just finished a hike and you could tell we are just about 24 hours away from the autumnal equinox. Leaves were falling and there was that ever so slight chill in the morning air.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI like especially the 1st shot, it's wonderful !
Also the benches are very nice :)
Spring is beautiful there and I'm more than a tad jealous. ;))
ReplyDeleteI think you'll get over missing your one-burner hot plate. Time heals all.
Nice shots, have fun!
ReplyDeleteTHat is a very impressive looking tree, have fun with all the workers!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic series indeed and I, too, am just a tad jealous!!! Love that tree! And EG is right, time does heal all -- even a one burner hot plate!! Take care!!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful all these colores photo's....i like the fields with flowers very much.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
I like colors of your shots dear Grace. Wish you a nice w.e.

Great stuff, especially the sunshine, whatever that is...
ReplyDeleteReally good colours and lovely to see.
Beautiful shots, Grace.
ReplyDeleteGrace, you live in an extraordinary place--and you showcase it to its fullest advantage!
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful photographs of this magnificent Spring.
ReplyDeleteThe tree is majestic.
Hugs and kisses.
These shots are all beautiful. Looks like perfect conditions for overseeing home improvements. Hope it all goes well, Grace. Especially love the top one!
ReplyDeleteWow I love all those wildflower meadows
ReplyDeleteSpring is busting out all over down there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the last bit of renovation!
Love the baobab - it has a cousin here in Ala Moana Park (under my window and in my landscape/sky shots :)

The wildflowers are terrific, Grace, as are the wavy benches. And moving a huge, 750-year old tree? Amazing. You have to show it when it is in bloom, co we know it is OK.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics again Grace - lovely blooms, lovely colour, and isn't that boab looking well! Have a good few days while you're wearing all those different hats and afterwards you'll hardly know yourself: then comes happy cooking!
ReplyDeleteJoy
That tree is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful shots. Looks like spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. Safe travels wherever you might be going.
ReplyDeletehas been a while since I visited you
ReplyDeletehow hard it is to see spring when we are going straight to winter
I love the word Baobab, we even have a touroperator with this name here, but un fortunately it has got bankrupt. Succes with your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWow, Grace, such beautiful pics! Can´t wait to see the Boab (or, as the French say, Baobab, or, as we call it, Affenbrotbaum).
ReplyDeleteHmm, I e-mailed Kings Park and asked if we may put our love-lock at DNA-tower - no answer...
What will you cook in your new kitchen for the first time?
Just plain cheery. love the pics!
ReplyDeleteI love the field of pink flowers. So Kawaii (cute). What a fun post..
ReplyDeleteI love the yarn bombing they did at Kings Park this year, very original.
ReplyDeleteThose benches wrapped around a tree are fabulous. And happy cooking in a few days...
The Baobab Tree is among my favourite trees, I just love it! I've seen some truly amazing ones in Africa. Some have been brought here for EXPO 98 but they didn't survive our winter. Beautiful spring shots, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're bursting with energy. I like the third and fourth the best. The fourth has a very Renoir feel.
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
ReplyDeleteI do hope you and yours have faired ok in the storms and are safe and well. My friends in M'lands thankfully have only sustained a lot of mess and lost a side fence.
Thinking of you

Hi, what lovely series with fluid lines and vibrant colours. The field of pink flowers is lovely and I like the shape of the bench, very creative. The Boab tree looks amazing. Have a good few days of Kitchen Reviving Symphony Orchestrating! A bientôt!

ReplyDeleteRegards
What the beautiful and peaceful place, like it and best for the morning and evening walk..

ReplyDeleteHope all is well in the kitchen Grace ... you will love it when the workmen are finished. I love how you've captured the Monarch butterfly .... just perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Grace. Such glorious photos of Spring. Apologies for my absence of late. Mrs J and I have been travelling. We were lucky enough to get to Marrakech, Malta, Athens and Santorini. Naturally we had our trusty Nikon in hand and we are quite excited to temporarily replace our daily Melbourne post with an image from our trek. Cheers J.
ReplyDeleteDelicious feeling of Spring in the air, your pictures are adorable postcards.The colorful flowers are plenty of lights and I love butterflies!
ReplyDeletehugs

A plethora of spring beauty! I'm glad we're headed toward cooler weather while I'm sure you're glad to be enjoying spring! This is such a gorgeous park!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm posting at L & L Photography (http://www.landlfotos.com/blog.html)
Nice shots Grace, remind me of spring and the long wait I now have!
ReplyDeleteWe, the people living in India, are more aware of Sydney and Melbourne, and to a lesser extent about Brisbane and Adelaide. But, we completely forget Perth, probably because it lies in the south west corner of this island country. We are also not aware of any other major cities around Perth or in that part of your country simply because these destinations are not marketed as well as some of other cities located in the eastern part of the country. Your blog about Perth is a welcome discovery in this respect.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to see the photos of Perth and other nearby cities as well through this platform.
I love those flowers! By this time next week I'll be swimming and / or sunning near the reef. So excited!!!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are really wonderful..... compliments Grace.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Astonishingly lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteOne beautiful photograph after another!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is amazing!
