The Garden Is...

The garden is beginning to explode with colour slightly too early, thanks to a very warm and dry winter.  

I embraced a beautiful unseasonal sunny day, taking in the scents and busyness of my private little oasis. 

Many of my wildflowers are thriving and attracting an array of honeyeaters bees and insects. 

I was happy to see that my pineapple orange tree has three oranges ripening, I hope this year I actually get to enjoy one. 

Last year the gardens residents beat me to it. 

As gorgeous as this day was, I have missed the rainy cold days which winter normally brings...

 

Someone Had...

Someone had put a handful of seed out as a treat for birds next to the Kalamunda library. There's a large flock of homing pigeons who have taken to life in the wild, and seem to spend a lot of time in the gardens surrounding the library, and I wondered if this was who the seed was really for. They have adapted well to living free, but having some seed available for them is a really kind thing to have done. 

This ring necked parrot was certainly enjoying this tasty snack. 

There's always fresh water out around the Kalamunda library too, which in summer is especially important for survival.

It's refreshing to see people being so thoughtful for our wildlife...
