Flowers mostly: a walk in a small part of Mt Lawleyshire

It’s a while since I’ve had the chance or time to just walk around, looking at flowers and trees.  Working nights and often days, I get no chance for taking sunset photos or any others!  It was mostly flowers.  The area I walked in – which is where I usually take sunsets – isn’t that big on trees – very sadly so as one of my favourite trees – a flame tree which I took many, many photos of earlier this year, a scant few months ago, has been chopped down.

It’s heartbreaking.  This is all that remains and leaving a terribly empty space.

 

It should’ve been like this:

  which gives a place for birds – feeding and shelter.  I will miss the flowers and birds next year.

On a happier not – box tree blossom which are so delicate compared with the trees themselves

and I don’t know what these flowers are, except they are very delicate:

These tiny things are very difficult to photograph and are from a bush just down the road from me.

I have no idea what these flowers are – coming from a bush with great long thin branches falling over a high stone wall.  They remind me of flame tree flowers, but they can’t be: it’s the wrong season and it’s not a tree.  But very similar in shape and colour.

 

This is pretty catching the sunlight

& these Jacaranda flowers – which survived the wind and storms, are highlighted against a wall:

Honeysuckle and frangipani added wonderful perfume to the warm air:

 

& this little singing honeyeater watched me as

I photographed these kangaroo paws in the wind in someone’s garden:

 

there were roses, but many were out of range.  But these were pretty and glowed in the afternoon light.

 

An usually coloured jasmine almost camouflaged against the brick wall

& one of these: I love these 🙂

This small bush intrigued me with its twisting branches:

& when I got home, a certain someone was tired of waiting and wanted dinnah!

I hope you enjoyed my little amble around the streets – except for the tree that is no more.
