(tales from the birdgirl)
Mid-winter, South Australia:
Mid-afternoon:
The world can seem a little drab.
But not totally:
It’s time to be grateful for the tiniest splash of colour …
And I am.
I am.
Note:
The photographs below were taken in colour, not in black-and-white.
— November —
Colour comes in two waves at the end of spring …
…pink …
… and blue.
Note:
The first flower pictured is the native geranium (pelargonium australe). For more information, click here.
The second flower pictured is a thick-leaved fan flower (scaevola crassifolia). For more information, check out this lovely site. (You’ll need to scroll down a little to find the fan flower.)
— The last wave of colour —
Trees heavy with bottlebrush flowers line the streets, and falling flowers form a thick red carpet on the footpath beneath.
As I’ve said before, Spring comes in waves of colour in South Australia.
After the wave of white comes …
… yellow.
