Even though today was a little chilly and overcast the promise of Summer is apparent in the Spring blossom.

First rose of Spring
Peeping out from next to the hibernating Frangipani was a miniature blushing white bloom. With thanks to our wonderful next door neighbour the gum leaves complement the Spring rose beautifully.
Spring has sprung
When living in a city it is easy to forget the passing of the seasons. Thankfully the distinct lack of vegetation in this picture is not the norm in Sydney.
I cross Railway Square here every morning transferring from one bus to another. Today is special as Spring has sprung!
Spring scorcher
We are in for a warm night.
35oC Spring day
Luckily there was a breeze and relatively low humidity, so quite comfortable in the shade. The clocks have gone forward one hour for Australian Eastern Daylight Time, luckily it is a public holiday tomorrow, what with the more soaring temperatures and all. Just in case you are wondering Sydney is GMT +11 hours.
Heralding Spring
Awake from your slumber,
Pink posies of life.
Reach high towards the sky,
Cherry blossoms forth.
Join in the call for Spring,
Sydney, Australia.
Late Spring
Early evening, late Spring
Distant city, lush green
Peace and quiet, birds sing
Randwick Racecourse, dew sheen
Trees a plenty, Sydney
Australia, for me
Purple
Over the last few weeks I’ve been admiring the regal colour of the flowers of the jacaranda trees.
This one is located on the upper campus of UNSW, Sydney, Australia. One of the Faculty of Medicine’s buildings provides contrast in colour and form.
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.
Against all odds
After upsizing some of our potted plants we had a spare container which we excitedly filled with begonias. A few days of 35 to 40oC temperatures last Summer resulted in begonia devastation. From the cataclysm a sole survivor popped up in Spring this year, this is its first bloom.
