Yesterday morning we had this
wonderful sunrise. I do love Autumn in Tassie.











The peacocks are back! I still say the only good peacock
is a stuffed one - but this was in our yard the other day searching
for what delicacies he could find amongst the flowers!










And one of the Queensland girls was looking for a stripey geranium
Is this like the one you found Melinda?

Crepe Myrtle

My mother has always loved crepe myrtles and had a beautiful one in her garden. About 18 months ago she moved to a nursing home with dementia. For my 60th birthday last year I bought myself a crepe myrtle from my Mum. They usually don't flower for a couple of years but this tree has defied the odds. I hope you like this photo.

It was our 38th Wedding Anniversary on 21st February and my husband sent me
these beautiful flowers to celebrate.










This morning I wandered outside to see this magnificent sunrise from
our backyard.

Our meal - a beautiful meal of Trumpeter over a salsa with salad and white wine. We are lucky enough to be able to sit outside and dine!

Yesterday was a beautiful Autumn day in Launceston - even if it was 31 January! I was probably a few minutes too late to get the full effect of the lovely sunset from our place but there were wonderful streaks of pale pink across the sky. I just hope that Summer will return - not quite ready to say goodbye to it yet.

This morning when I went to get the paper I could hear a lot of very loud birds - different to the usual birds. I discovered a flock of Rosella parrots in our Flowering Gum - see how many you can find.
