It is longer spring here down at the bottom of the world (if I were being truthful at the very bottom of the world spring is a mere matter of degrees)
Here in the land of Oz we are in Autumn, yet driving today, the sunshining through the last of the clouds and the waratahs red and vibrant competing with the yellow sunshine cascading drops of the wattles , all outdone by the bougainvilleas with their bursts of deep, deep purple
the smell of lemon myrtle and eucalypt, giving a zinging zest to the air you could well believe that nature did not get the memo...
It is cooler and it has been very wet where we are....but today when the sun came out the world arounds us looked newly washed and the lush exotic nature of the plants, shone through....
