More Autumn walking


The Summer rain we have enjoyed here in Toowoomba has certainly made it an especially sweet time to go for a good long walk now the Autumn flowers are here.





























Gordonia axillaris (renamed Franklinia axillaris, but still known and sold as Gordonia axillaris)















Random Dahlia in an abandon front yard.















Coral vine has been one of my favorites ever since I became interested in gardening.












Rustic. I like fences and posts with random vegetation covering them.


























I'm beginning to feel my frustration of not being able to take a half decent photo take over the rational half of my thinking. Because giving the credit card a max out to buy a good camera is becoming very appealing to me right now.

I see Canon have some nice cameras out.
This one looks interesting (PowerShot SX200 IS). And it has full HD movie capacity.

















Cheers and Happy Easter,

Stewart.

A bit more Autumn


A bit more Autumn.

I guessing a bit here but I think these are the flowers of our local rain forest Black Bean tree.
I'll know for sure when it starts to produce its bean pods which can grow up to 20cm long and 30/40cm's in diameter.
It is certainly showing the benefits of the 200+ml of rain we had earlier this month.

Speaking of rain we had a few storms rumble through here last night and gave everything a good watering for Easter and it looks like I have managed to secure the Houdini chooks so with a little good luck over Easter I'll be able to get some good gardening happening.

Happy Easter everyone and keep safe.

Cheers
Stewart.

You got to love Autumn.

While I was out walking the big block (see below) I took a few photos in celebration of Autumn. Just wish I had a better camera. (Working in it though)
