Sunshine on a Suburban Walk

Gaiter Girls walking.

 Last week was all cloud, rain and 'cool'. Four inches of rain and, we were reaching for our jackets when the evening temperature dropped to 18C. Yes, I can hear you groaning and wishing for the same. I had planned a completely different post for this week, but on walking in early morning sunshine with the Gaiter Girls today, I decided to share our sunshhine with you. I fully realise how awful the weather has been in the northern hemisphere.

Not only was it sunny, but everywhere looked stunning after the week of rain. We were walking in an area near Janice's and the houses are on small acerage blocks. Although sweaty when we completed  the walk of 6 km, it had been a glorious morning for excerise.

Soaring eucalyptus.

An interesting mailbox.

The poincianas are really starting to make a magnificent display.



Colour in Janice's garden. Hibiscus and Tibouchina Jules.



Coffee view. Can you see the orchid on the jacaranda?


I hope my sunshine has brightened your day!

I would love to read your comment.

  1. Oh happy smile. Just what I needed to start a grey November morning in the Northern hemisphere. I can almost hear your soundscape and smell the scent of those plants. Perfect. B x
