After a long and courageous battle with cancer my younger sister passed away in October and then after avoiding Covid during 2020/2021 my whole extended family succumbed just before Christmas 2022, what timing! The year was saved by the arrival of my Sydney famille, grandchildren are the best. Somewhere in the blur of that period I planted many dahlia seedlings, far too late in the season and just when I was about to give up hope of them flowering this cheery beauty looked up at me. My heart breaks every time I watch the news these days, the earthquake in Turkey/Syria is beyond devastating, so many lives lost. There is a lot to deal with in the world these days, we have to find that little bit of hope wherever we find it 🌺 One of these days I will take up my camera and tread further than my garden :) <br /></p>PerthDailyPhotohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095932046263663417.post-25480274551900821392022-12-24T12:03:00.000+08:002022-12-24T12:03:16.345+08:00Happy Christmas from Perth..<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_x3ueLUeq5UQTKN_1X-wSGAQQ1u1a8fyciSKXuksPf5LME6CK8bdI2mg6nsarYVNearJTgt8rmQ2JEj2o7UcTzLmLpl84FE_W7y0uZMzXcOHacKtLMsP96_F4sjYwZUz1nR6PXFwA3thHRg7NVFeG2Ln3qoMk6bOlkoo9jKOFF6ISW0jfz_HBj8RYgQ/s2340/P8110350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2104" data-original-width="2340" height="576" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_x3ueLUeq5UQTKN_1X-wSGAQQ1u1a8fyciSKXuksPf5LME6CK8bdI2mg6nsarYVNearJTgt8rmQ2JEj2o7UcTzLmLpl84FE_W7y0uZMzXcOHacKtLMsP96_F4sjYwZUz1nR6PXFwA3thHRg7NVFeG2Ln3qoMk6bOlkoo9jKOFF6ISW0jfz_HBj8RYgQ/w640-h576/P8110350.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">'Kwobidak Koondarm' (Beautiful Dreams) the name given to the mural above by the parents of the three sisters painted in Collie by <a href="https://www.shakey.com.au/">Shakey</a>.

Every member of our family and her many friends will miss her in their own special way, she was a light in all of our lives and it is impossible at this time to imagine her not being here. We spent the time we had well, visiting Araluen to see the tulips, trips out to see the wildflowers and even a trip into the city to see the Van Gogh exhibition. We will cherish those times. All of the images here are from my garden where I have spent most of my time these last few days, often accompanied by my little feline companion. It will take however long it takes but I do hope to come back in one form or another.. we'll see.

Out of the 600,000 young Australians who fought in WW11 it is believed there are fewer than 3000 still with us, I often wonder what they must think of the world we live in today. Since WW1, supposedly the war to end all wars, nothing has changed, powerful men are still sending young men and women off to fight and die to satisfy their greed for possession and power, when and how will it end!

It has been a few months since I spotted the delightful floral mural here in a dreary laneway off Murray Street. Can't find any details but I feel that by depicting the roots of the Australian native blooms that it may have a symbolic meaning, I was pleased to discover it and it certainly brightens up this spot.
