What I would miss if I had to leave Perth...



If I had to leave Perth I would miss the sun going down over the city.. the view from Kings Park. I would miss walking along the pristine white beach in the fresh sea air under a blue sky. As much as my garden exhausts me at times, especially right now in summer, I would miss the many coloured flowers that flourish in the heat and the birds that come to visit each morning for brekkie.. but most of all.. ta da centre stage, I would miss my family, they are as mad as hatters, but they're my mad hatters :) Looking forward to seeing what you would miss if you had to leave your city. Happy Sunday, take care and stay safe...

  3. A beautiful collage, Grace. And all the most interesting people are at least a little mad, you know.

  6. Even just ONE of those nice things would be too much to leave behind.

  7. A wonderful montage of what your city is all about and I think you probably have more to "miss" than some of the rest of us!

  10. Ahhhh Grace, you'll miss too many things to ever leave! I hadn't thought of a collage, too late now (or rather I'm too lazy!)

  11. Yes, a run down of the pleasures of living in Perth, Grace. I nearly ran with "people", but decided there might be too many of them to miss them all.

  20. This is a lovely blog post and so good at reminding me of what is so wonderful about a hometown. I love the way you organised your photos too, it shows off the place beautifully. If I had to leave where I am now I would definitely miss the countryside here - it's so quiet and open and it's a big change from my old hometown but it's inspiring and it's now home! - Tasha

  21. Great work Grace. I love those birds. I commented to Mrs. today as we were out all day bird watching about how even the birds in Florida are boring. In fact no place, except a zoo, do we see birds as colorful as you have any where in the USA.

  22. The collage is a great way to share the images that make your life in Perth important. Of course, I LOVE the colorful birds!!

  23. Oh, so much to miss! Best place in the world. I hope you never leave, 'cause we would ALL miss YOU.

  24. A very cute post and collection of photos. I think you are saying you would miss all that is colorful in colorful Perth, including your colorful clan.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You have lived in some very different places around the world but your heart is there in the City of Perth. As the American song Simple Gifts has it, 'tis a gift to come down where we ought to be."

  26. You are great with color, and I think you would miss the bright colors of Perth. Lovely photos.

  36. What a beautiful post Grace! I love how you call your family "my mad hatters". I could say the same about my own family!

    ReplyDelete
  37. It is certainly a colourful place where you live!

    ReplyDelete

  40. Grace you made me have a closer look and show you what I´d miss if I had to leave Braunschweig :-)
    Your pics sure are unbeatably beautiful!

  41. It is so hard to choose Grace. Daily photo blogging focuses not only our cameras but also our attention on so many aspect of our surroundings which we love. I guess that;s why I enjoy it.

  42. It's easy to understand why you'd miss all these things. Love your collection of shots. :)

  43. I SO understand everything you wrote about!
    As far as I'm concerned the beaches and lorikeets are what I miss most!

  46. Not that I am running late (it's 3rd Feb) but let me be your 55th comment because I love your collage. Every time Perth gets a mention I think of you (and I see that a family member of yours has joined in the blogging fun too).

    ReplyDelete
  47. If you had to leave Perth, all of us out here would suffer greatly...

  48. What a delightful collage, and I recognized one family member in that photo. It made me laugh to read the "mad as hatters" comment. You are a dear!

    Bises,
