Warragul flowers

The house & cat I cared for in Warragul, Gippsland recently, was in a semi-rural location on a large block of land.  Upon the property were orange, lemon & mandarin trees, as well as an abundance of floral species, including the following:

Correa

Narcissus

(.. and some "ring ins" - King Parrots were daily visitors, to my delight)

Red hot pokers

One of many glorious sunrise experiences viewed across the adjacent property

Eastern Rosellas also were daily "drop ins"

Violets

(don't know this one)

It wasn't til I zoomed in on this Starling that I realised the many colours in its plumage!

.... and a stunning Eastern Spinebill regularly visited the Grevilleas around the garden.

Wattle

There were many more flowers on the property, but I'll have to save more images for another time.

A Pleasant Walk

A spur of the moment decision to take a walk in a quiet setting with my camera and keen photographer friend, resulted in the following experiences . . . .
(sadly, the pics loaded in reverse order and I've not the patience to correct that!)

 

Colourful bracts of a Bougainvillea

A local property displaying the beginnings of Autumn's colour changes

the outing begins!

A busy bee!

This tree fascinated us with its seemingly "painted" bark effect

. . . and another busy bee in action

Was fortunate to catch this Eastern Spinebill before it flew off again !

With grateful thanks to the hosts of the following blog sites which enable us to share our images and to explore other parts of the world 

- if only visually at this time!

Cudlee Creek

Just had a delightful encounter with all sorts of nature - birds, wildlife, dogs, flowers etc

during a weekend away at Cudlee Creek (don't you love the name?!) in the

Mt Lofty Ranges, so just have to share the experience with you all

This koala seemed to be having a lovely snooze . . .

until the wind came up and he decided it might be a good idea to hang on !

Breathtaking Lilac in the front garden and driveway ... mmmmh !

. . . and this is Trixie (one of 2 Kelpies sharing their home with me) - such beautiful natures.

A pretty array of flowers blooming on the property

. . . ditto . . .

The delightful laugh of the Kookaburra echoed around throughout my stay

At sunset this kangaroo appeared in the grassland opposite

. . . and this is Koko, the other Kelpie who took care of me !

Despite its name of "Patterson's Curse", the bloom on this thistle is very pretty

( obviously insects also find it fascinating!)

Banksia

One of several Ibis in the nearby fields

. . . and a budding Callistemon

Just growing along the roadside . .

Ditto !

"Just Joey" in the front garden

I hope you've enjoyed the outing.
