Back

It’s been a while! Life goes on, the seasons turn. It’s winter now after a very dry summer. A bit of rain has freshened things up, but there’s still a way to go. Here are some pics from yesterday , as is so often the case here in SW VIC, the skies were beautiful. TilContinue reading “Back”

Rose Pruning Time

It’s that time again, rose pruning time. Time to sharpen those secateurs and loppers to cut those rose bushes down to size. I’ve covered rose pruning in previous posts so I won’t go into it in this post. If I was more clever I would put a link in to connect you to past roseContinue reading “Rose Pruning Time”

Happy Mother’s Day

It’s Mother’s Day here in Australia and New Zealand! Wishing all the mums, Grandmums, Aunties, Dads being Mum too, and anyone else who is ‘Mum’ a very special day. I’m not sure when Chrysanthemums became ‘the’ Mother’s Day flower, but it does a spectacular job and is flowering quite prolifically here at just the rightContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day”

Late Roses

These late roses caught my eye. They were just crying out to be photographed, so here they are in all their sublime beauty. In other news, my business building journey is getting its legs, I had a real life design job to start. A garden focused on sustainability and becoming self sufficient as far asContinue reading “Late Roses”

Early Camellias and Late Roses

The crossover of seasons sometimes makes for gorgeous, timeless floral combinations such as early camellias and late roses. Picking flowers to take photos of them has become one of my favourite activities, I’m slowly learning techniques for styling shots to create a beautiful image seemingly from nowhere; sometimes I fluke a really nice shot. We’veContinue reading “Early Camellias and Late Roses”

Dahlia dreams come true

I’ve been jealously watching displays of delicious Dahlias over the last couple of months, wondering if my Dahlia dreams would come true. Well they finally have. I put my Dahlia tubers in late last year so their growth has been quite a way behind many other people’s. Even the ones I hadn’t lifted were takingContinue reading “Dahlia dreams come true”

Yes, it is Autumn!

Any doubts about it being Autumn have been thrown out the window. Cool, misty mornings and a promise of the end to daylight savings are proof positive it is, indeed, Autumn. These beauties have been popping up in the wild all over the place as well. There are quite a few different colours, one dayContinue reading “Yes, it is Autumn!”

Season’s end

The days are getting cooler, mornings are darker too. I’m sure we’ll have some more nice days but it looks like we’ve reached season’s end. I actually love it when there’s a transition, the garden seasons remind us that there is always change; change can be what we make it. Leaving aside the metaphorical aspectsContinue reading “Season’s end”

Autumn again?

We’ve had a brilliant sunny day here in the Western Districts of Victoria, Australia, but is it nearly Autumn again? The evenings are becoming cooler and there’s a definite feel of autumn skies in the mornings now. I feel like Summer has been short and sweet, but who knows? We could still get more summeryContinue reading “Autumn again?”
