eternal beauty of white roses...

White climbing roses en masse look like a lively bouquet...

masses of green leaves...

greens upon greens...

A view of the landscape at Boneo Maze and Wetlands from a wooden picnic carriage.

small hedge maze...

O so green small hedge maze at Boneo Maze and Wetlands
on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula

selective parking...

Trees and locked cars are best friends in summer weather...

red in the street...

These flowers always brighten the Australian streetscape at this time of year in the summer...

greens and white wings...

Touches of green foliage softly frame the white cockatoo wings - open and closed - in this scene...

greens frame blues...

colourless Patterson's Curse...

Even the fast spreading Patterson's Curse flower can be quite beautiful, after the colour has gone...
The cobweb at the top is a bonus...

Shapely boughs etch a blue sky at Dromana beach...

like a feathered hat...

Palm trees lining the marina channel at Martha Cove add a delightful tropical feel to this sanctuary on the Mornington Peninsula

I love the spikey beauty of the agapanthus flower when it is drained of colour...

like a floral sea anemone...

Another unknown flower in my garden that is prolific on a dense shrub...

My oleander is feeling especially beautiful this year...

delicate drops of beauty...

An unknown plant in my garden that weeps like a willow...

beyond the summer glass...

This is an old dead fruit tree in our garden.
I can't remove it because so many birds still love to perch on its branches.
They still love its weathered beauty.
The photo was taken in summer a year ago.

Vineyard View

A variety of tree shapes frame this view of vineyards and rolling green hills at Red Hill.

Silhouette Frames

Tree shapes create a silhouette frame for cameo glimpses of the Sorrento landscape

Sorrento Shadows

I like how the tree shadows fall round the windows of this home at Sorrento

Beauty in Grey

Beautiful grey plant at the Briars, Mount Martha
This particular plant always reminds me of freshness, of cleansing.
A great plant to begin the New Year.



Happy New Year
