Almond Blossom and Fluffy bums

It's almond blossom time :) they are beautiful blossoms always .













Grebes have such fluffy bums!! ..this one was feeding underwater ..then popping up again like a cork.. always in a different spot .. it was difficult to get him in the viewfinder!

Today was a sunny, Spring -feeling day by the river

Time.

It is another year . The last half of another year!




                                                                  


The past  eight months have been taken up in dealing with the final illness, and  the  death  of my Mum.

In March this year ,we laid her to rest in the red, red sand,her coffin covered with the bluebush,  river gum ,mallee, fairy grass,daisies,and other plants amongst which she lived her life .Roses she planted, with rosemary & lavender from her garden ...these were also her last bouquet.

Now it is time to  begin  to once again look around me  and take note of the  living beauty and  daily happenings.Slowly.....
