Good health and prosperity
Tree fern viewed through red glass, Chinese Garden, Sydney. Happy Chinese New Year!
Winter red
It has been an unusually warm August. Cherry, magnolia and jasmine flowers are bursting forth in response. The above bush in Petersham Park, Sydney, Australia appears to be bearing miniature hibiscus blooms. Or could it be a camellia?
More than a tree
Clustered Solomonic columns,
Writhing; frozen in fibrous form.
Weatherworn-grey strips fall away;
Presenting rich Indian red.
Serene sentinel stands, solemn;
Confetti-strewn leaves all around.
Tree, Sydney, Australia.
Nothing in particular
In a bid to make space on my iPad I was merrily deleting pictures when I came across this one. At first sight a leafy space in the local park containing bouganvillea. The contrast of focus from blurred to sharp and the vibrant colours captured my attention. I particularly like the juxtaposition of green, brown, red and mauve.
Yuletide reminder
Sydney, Australia, is in that Spring phase when it’s warm one day (22oC) and chilly the next (17oC).
On the cooler days the red and green of this gum tree remind me of Yuletide in northern hemisphere.
Feeding time
The dark green leaves, red stems and sparkly flowers caught my eye. The bee was a pleasant surprise.
Glorious Autumn Colour
This tree in our local park is a favourite roosting place for Indian myna birds.
Sunshine after the rain
Our roses are red
Our roses are white,
Petals feather light
Our roses are red,
Is it now we wed?
