Growing Beauty

A perfect day for walking.

There was even a bit of a squelch under foot instead of the harsh,brittle unyielding earth of a few weeks ago.

Such glorious colours ,detail were all around me.

I started thinking about my favourite flowers and it would have to be Daisies.

I saw a firey red Sturt Desert Pea that is a Western Australian wildflower.

I was taken aback to see it growing in our state of South Australia in a garden bed in my neighbourhood.

Wow!

I knocked on the door and asked to photograph the blooms.

They were really chuffed I would want to take a photo.

It was a great chance to get to know another resident of my small town.

Next was a flowering gum,yet another shade of red.

On the way home I came across a mushroom poking its nose out of the wet ,soggy soil.

It looked so sleeky and unreal-a poisonous one I think.

Everything I saw was singing because we have had rain at last.

I was singing too.

What flowers do you like?

What makes you sing inside?
