I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired that I was determined yesterday to get out and about in the fresh air. There are few places that resuscitate the spirit as well as Kings Park, and I was pleased to see that although there are still a few weeks until official spring and the spring wildflower festival many of the Australian natives were too impatient to wait! The glorious colours of the fanciful Grevillea Superb, straight out of the camera here, appreciated also by the birds and the bees...
If you look carefully centre below you will see the honey eating Wattlebird among the Kangaroo paws. Really looking forward to the wildflower festival, not just Australian natives but plants from around the world. Have a super Sunday, take care and stay safe...
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a moment to find the bird.
Amazing looking flowers evev spotted t he bird
ReplyDeleteThe grevillea is absolutely spectacular. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you got out & about, Grace! Nice spring flowers!
ReplyDeleteOh, Grace... when you bring along spring it means... bad times for us. Autumn. Winter, gahhh. Darkness, cold.
ReplyDeleteBut I´m happy for you and one day we´ll come to see spring in Perth, too.
And, well, all August we still do have!
Those are great shots I love all three of them. Love the wattlebird. I had a kangaroo paws for a while in the UK but it gave up the ghost one winter :-( Definitely time to for you get better. Take it easy though. Diane
ReplyDelete,,,something that I see in Maui, nice!
ReplyDeleteGrevillea Superb is well-named indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a minute to find the bird, but I spotted the bee immediately!
ReplyDeleteSuch glorious colour in winter! Hope your outing helped you feel better, PDP.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to feel good enough to rouse yourself, and look how you were rewarded. Beautiful blossoms!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colourful flowers, Grace. That wattlebird is right on that honey. Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat glorious coloured Kangaroo Paw and I never knew it had nectar for Wattle birds.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and unusual flower photos. So glad you are able to get out. Hope you feel better right along.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers Grace. Much different than here in the USA. Hope you feel better and have a great week end.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are unlike the sorts you're likely to find around here. And the Wattlebird reminds me of roadrunners which you can find in desert areas of the U.S.
Lovely to see the bright coloured flowers, keep going :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Beautiful. Glad you're perking up.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful, and I love to see the birds and the bees going about collecting the nectar.
ReplyDeleteI hope getting out lifted your spirits.....I know you beautiful post lifted mine.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe bug will wear off, round about Decenber...
Wonderful looking photos indeed. Greetings to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing for happy skies to follow you everywhere, and I'm thinking a walk around here will be a start! I just heard on the radio how taking a walk through the forest, woods, and especially taking in the scents, blossoms and everything there, will warm and heal our soul. Well, guess we knew that, but it sure adds something to hear it, you know what I mean!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeletereally well done
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you went out, these photographs are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHoping you feel better soon.
All the best Jan
The flowers are beautiful, and I love to see the birds and the bees going about collecting the nectar.
