Here is a bit of colour from our garden:
Love to you!

365 Days of Nature - No. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
On Australia Day, we went to the greyhound races with my Dad and stepmum, Jane.
Their garden was beautifully in bloom, so I took some pics to share for the 365 Days in Nature Challenge (which is not quite happening as I'd hoped, with a photo for each day, but, when I get a chance, I'm trying to at least share the same amount of photos for the days that pass, if you get my drift!)
This yellow tree is spectacular! Standing underneath it looking up, I felt like I was in a rainforest!
So, so pretty!
Love to you

365 Days in Nature 10
I love the colour of the flowers on this Geisha Girl plant in our front garden.
But it's one of those plants that runs wild!
Love to you

Heatwave!
This week's Snap, Set and Song is all about the Heatwave of summer!
I pretty much stay inside in the air con when it's too hot outside,
so I don't have many pics of the sweltering heat at the moment.
However Broome in Western Australia is the first place I think of when talking about heatwaves.
And frangipanis are very much a reminder of Broome.
(If you'd like to see more of my pictures of Broome, including riding camels and holding baby crocodiles, head to this place.)
My set this week is all about hot pink and black. I must go shopping for new swimming gear soon, and when I do I'll be looking for something like this:
Bright Pink Hibiscus Cotton Velour Beach Towel

My Song: If you live in Australia, you will have heard this song a million times by now, because it is pretty much an iconic summer song. But I never, never get sick of hearing it!
Unfortunately there was never a video made for it, and the live vids are too muffled, but it's worth listening to the track without any pics:
Pop over to A Snap, A Set and A Song for more summer goodness!
Love to you!

Bittersweet Birthday
On October 26th, it had been a whole year since my younger sister had her twins Blake and Willow.
Sadly, Willow passed away, a year ago today, so Blake's 1st birthday party on the 28th was one of smiles and tears, as we celebrated his life and remembered Willow.
Blake is a gorgeous little man, I could hug him all day!
Nana got to have a cuddle!
As did his Mum and Dad, Kristie and Dave:
Not sure how I didn't get a photo with Blake, but I got one with his sister, Lily. She's a character!
Lily spent a good half hour arranging party hats on Jonathon's head until he looked like a punk!
(Spot the Where's Wally in the background, lol!)
Here is my boy, Jack, with my older sister's son, James.
They are usually in some sort of wrestling clinch or another!
This is a shot of my sister's family with her dad and his partner Ruth.
I didn't manage to get a very good shot of the birthday table and cake, but I loved all the red and aqua and the circus theme - too pretty!
And this bunch of flowers was from Kristie's mothers'group,
with butterflies to keep to remind us of Willow.
We won't forget you Willow. Sweet dreams little angel.
We love you so.

Flowers in the House
Happy Saturday!
I hope things are good for you, because, I'm sick again! This time I've had a headache for four days and I just can't shake it! Doesn't make for a very energetic me.
But my hubby brought home some pretty flowers to add some cheer.
Love the vibrant colour!
Thank goodness for loving husbands!

In My Mum's Garden
Popped into Mum's yesterday, after having my x-ray (which revealed no broken bones or pneumonia, thank goodness, although I feel even more sympathy for those with cracked ribs and pneumonia because it must hurt worse than the pain I've got!).
It was a sunny day, so we went out into the garden, and I took some photos of Mum's glorious flowers:
This little fellow hiding amongst the plants was made by my Uncle Keith - clever, hey?
Hope these pics brightened your day!

Zoo Adventures
Last week, we had a trip to the Perth Zoo! It was a rainy afternoon, and not too busy, so we were able to have some one to one time with some of the animals.
Linking up with Our World Tuesday
to see some other beautiful places in the world.
