This is a Camelia my mother brought to her last home 30 yrs ago
It is in its full flowering beauty at end of June each year.
Nature is the master architect..such shape ,colour, and illusion....naturally seductive.
Hard to believe that tea comes from these plants

Cold day called for a country journey. What better place than Mt Macedon Nth West of Melbourne, Vic, Australia.
Braving the chilling winds I captured this image of the Memorial Cross .
The last time I was there it was just a mass of cinders..having been the victim of a bushfire.
All the snow gums were regenerated and the avenue of rhododendrons were growing well

Once again my journey to work took me past this elevated dam on Crow Hill Mickleham.
These steers ALWAYS walk in the dam to drink..strange thing...no crocs I 'spose

This same dam can occasionally have its banks covered in wild ducks basking in early morning sun

What do you see on your way to your job?

As I live close to Essendon Airport, we see many helicopters and on many cold winter mornings we are privileged to see many hot Air Balloons..they always look so serene

Just a little collection of my sweet lil Toyota Baby....hates petrol/gas stations 

Happy Birthday to MAC

All around Bairnsdale we kept coming across these TRAIN BEWARE signs.
They would really have made Jeffrey Smart salivate...i'm told his greatest joy was driving over those directional arrows placed on roads
Rural Australia is so expansive..a few sheep, some people, many magpies and cockatoos and many swallows...not a very space challenged country..
