A shallow creek running through the deep bush, in #Blackwood #Victoria #Australia on this fine Spring day.
Ferns and #gumtrees adorned this space for hundreds of square kilometres… thriving in their natural habitat.
Earlier, #kookaburras were heard ringing out amongst the tree tops.
Blue Wrens flitted throughout the trees.
And no other person was around, for miles.
This is kinda Heaven on Earth!
Sound up!!

Before and After…
The first photo was snapped a month ago.
The second pic was taken prior to sunset the other night. This tree has just commenced blooming.
I plan on keeping an eye on this one and update you with its blooming evolution.
What a beautiful transformation… a gorgeous work in progress.

I took the first picture one month ago, ahead of this beauty blooming.
The remainder are pictures from now, late afternoon today!
I find it astounding how such flowering bloom can and does, grow in such a short time and with so much beauty and grace.
This is a #peach. For years I believed it to be cherry. So today, I learned something new about this gorgeous specimen!
(I’ve always noticed this tree but never had the opportunity to check for fruit, nor verified it’s identity). Time to remedy that, this year!!
I love this tree. #stunning.

The genus #Acacia belongs to the family Mimosaceae. There are some 1350 species of Acacia found throughout the world and close to 1000 of these are found in Australia.
Commonly known as #Wattle, Acacia is the largest genus of vascular plants in Australia.
Australia's national floral emblem is Acacia pycnantha, the Golden Wattle.
For those into botanic classifications, this one (pictured) is a #AcaciaPodalyriifolia

#PleromaUrvilleanum, also known as Tibouchina urvilleana, is a species of flowering plant native to Brazil.
It’s vibrant (and deep) purple petal shading is quite stunning in person and I am glad the camera reflected this.
Have a Super Sunday, whatever you’re up to!

#Bronte feathering her new nest, as only she can do!
She now has two official sleeping locations but just does her thing and sleeps wherever she wants, of course!
She’s a cat… it’s her prerogative, hey?!
BTW, dont you just love the way cats poke, prod and ‘knead’ their bedding before they settle for a snooze?!!

Did you know… there are over 250 known species of the genus #Camellia?
The sheer quantity and visual variety of #flora throughout our world, is just astounding.
If one thing in life is true, you cannot get enough of a good thing, right?
Camellias are one of the most bountiful and generous flowering trees on the planet. And I’m grateful for that.
They make #winter bearable when the floral landscape is normally in its most dormant state, as nature prepares a pallet of colour and fragrance for spring and beyond!
#CamelliaSasanqua (pictured):
Is a species of Camellia native to China and Japan. It is usually found growing in higher altitudes (up to 900 metres / half mile).

#Brunswick #Australia is home to this lovely creation, painted by #Juzpop and #saladbowlart.
The colours and shading bring out the beauty of the subject perfectly in this candid scene.
And I adore the #flora and #butterflies, which are signature specialities that Juz portrays so well.
This is gorgeous 🙌💖

Gorgeous, vibrant public art adorn these housing building walls in #Southmelbourne #Australia.
I love the realism and striking colours of each work.
I especially like the kind features of the woman on the end of the building, who is surrounded with classic #flora… and whose features depict an old soul, with a distinct appearance of quiet wisdom.

Melville Caves are located in #KooyooraStatePark, #Brenanah#Australia.
They’re located in #centralvictoria #Australia in a small township named #Brenanah.
Exploring the caves was truly amazing. And we even had some friendly locals drop by for a visit!
Fun Fact; These caves are named after notorious bushranger Captain Melville who used the caves as a hiding place and lookout in the mid 19th century.
Here are some pics from the day out 👇

#Melbourne-based artist Juzpop has created a new piece of street art - and I just love it!
It is titled; “Inner Demons”.
The #realism of this, is superb.
What’s most striking for me is the neon pink demons that overlay the woman’s face.
For mine, it signifies that we all battle with our demons. Of course.
However, opposed to being portrayed in ominous darker colours (blacks / greys)… SOME demons - these represented in pink, exist for a ‘greater’ experiential purpose.
That is, for the sole purpose of providing an opportunity for positive and beneficial, life-defining personal growth.
Beautifully portrayed Justine!

These pics were taken on a road trip to #Centralvictoria, specifically #Colbinabbin, late December last year.
These magic scenes are just one collection of many throughout our State (and beyond), which have been affectionately dubbed #siloart.
This collection I believe is known as ‘THE COLBINABBIN FARMERS' PICNIC’, which depicts the locals of the district coming together back in the day, for an annual chance to relax and unwind!
I marvelled at these for some time. And must admit, was taken back to a different time to those we experience today.
The quality was superb and scale of these things; epic.

#MelvilleCaves are awesome!
Childhood memories of camping here came flooding back, by the river many moons ago, after visiting recently.
They’re located in #centralvictoria #Australia in a small township named #Brenanah.
Melville Caves are located in #KooyooraStatePark in, #Victoria.
If you’re local: a day trip is a must!
Even in the cooler months it’s glorious. And check out the moss covered boulders and rock formations!
Some are huge… up to 50 feet tall I reckon. May be of interest to some of our #mosstodon enthusiasts! And #lichensubscribe (thx @cohanf)
We managed to pick a clear day and took some awesome nature snaps. And I’ll feature inside the caves, in a second post!

#CamelliaSasanqua, with the common name sasanqua #camellia, it is a species native to China and Japan.
It is usually found growing in high altitudes, but does very well in #melbourne conditions indeed.
As a kid I recall the couple of camellias that grew prominently in our family garden and flowered prolifically this time of year, as tended to, so lovingly by my mum.
The bright yellow anther and filaments on these ones are particularly beautiful.
So too, the striking pinks of their flowering petals.
Nature at its best.

#LigustrumJaponicum, known as #JapanesePrivet is a species of Ligustrum (privet) native to central and southern Japan.
The berries look good enough to eat, but I wouldn’t dare! Saying that, the fruits have been used in traditional medicinal practices and supplements in Korea and Japan.
I read with interest, that because of its extensive root system (grows prolifically when young), it can become evasive and grow and spread in numbers, competing with / eliminating other native shrubs and plants.

Just snapped this in #caulfieldsouth #Australia on this dry and pleasant #winter’s morning.
#SyzygiumSmithii is a summer-flowering, winter-fruiting evergreen tree, native to Australia and belonging to the myrtle family Myrtaceae.
It has a rough, woody bark; cream and green smooth, waxy leaves; (pink new growth in its flowering period) and white to maroon edible berries.
Beautiful!

#Melbourne-based artist Juzpop specialises and thrives on creating works oozing with fem strength, mixed in my opinion, with a good deal of fun and sass.
These are just a handful of her works adorning Melbourne establishments… including huge murals displaying brightly in public spaces around #Melbs.
Full of colour and vibrance, I love Justine’s style and expression of the female form.

Just look at this cute mural created by Melbourne’s own, artist #Juzpop.
It features on a feature wall, opposite the bar in the city’s #herosmelbourne and was painted June last year.
I love the fem strength and sass of this woman featured. So too the gorgeous flowers and foliage that sits around the main feature.
Oh, and that pretty #butterfly… oh so good!
Justine (Juzpop) nailed this mural perfectly, matching perfectly with the vibe of this bar, in #melbourne #Australia.

These gorgeous plants, or ground dwelling shrubs are found in Victoria right through to northern Queensland, normally in open dry forest or heathland.
It’s is the #BanksiaSpinulosa, commonly known as the hairpin banksia.
These ones have been displaying like this for over two months now and their heads are quite woody (internally) with loads of rigid spikes, I guess you’d call them, that grow and form around the circumference.
These will remain as pictured, until early winter I read with interest.
I love the range of subtle colours and the fine detail of these things. Quite dry and firm to the touch.
And they’re growing in abundance, very happily indeed here, in #caulfieldsouth #melbourne #Australia.

Here’s #Bronte zonked out on the bed.
With the sudden departure of her pal and sister #Missy a few weeks back, her life has changed considerably. She’s now the solo cat of the household.
Bought her a new blanky which she’s taking full advantage of, now the weather has turned cold. And she’s calling less for her sis. Loads of cuddles and ‘us’ time has helped her transition, I think.
Our pet’s become embedded as a part of the family-propper and it’s such a shame they only visit us for such a short time.
I’m sure all pet owners agree.
All the same, I’m sure Missy is flying high in her new existence.

When in the #bush a couple of weeks ago, this rustic and gnarled #gumtree attracted my attention.
Just had to share.
This #gum’s trunk and branches are unlike many, which range from flat and smooth, to thick layered bark surfaces.
This one is unique inasmuch as it appears to look like it has been twisted laterally, in places.
Zoom in to observe… and check out the #bark that is at different stages of undress.
Some trunk sections and limbs appear not to be shedding at all and has a rough texture. It was abrasive to the touch, for sure.
#nature at its very best. #love 🤎💚

A dry river bed in #Centralvictoria was teaming with #butterflies on this temperate but sunny morning.
They’d fly past and land.
But by the time I got close enough to picture them, they’d be off again.
Super aware, knew I was about… and their survival skills were on high-alert! 🚨

HELP!!!
Anyone know what this is?
I wanted to say #GladiolusCommunis and exclaim ‘#HelloPossums!!’
But I had a sneaking suspicion it could be something totally different.
And so too does my ID app… in fact it suggests anything from #Lobelia, #Montbretia, #CannaLily - and yes of course… #Gladiolus!
Google image search wanted to tell me it’s a gladdy… but you know what.. I’m not so sure.
Whatever it is, ‘twas snapped on my sisters farm in #Centralvictoria a few weeks back… deep red and it is happy as Larry.
Oh what the heck, I’ll just say it;

#Mckinnon #Australia is home to this large-scale mural oozing with #feminine elegance, by the none other than artist known locally as #Juzpop!
It is incomplete. More detail yet to come.
It has been 2 weeks since visiting this work in progress.
Justine (Juzpop) advises there have been technical issues with the site preventing its completion. But hope things resolve quickly for her.
#love the vibrance!! And those #butterflies - OMG!

Meet a beautiful-blooming #CamelliaSasanqua!!
It’s most common name is sasanqua #camellia and this species of Camellia is native to China and Japan.
Most species of camellias require a large amount of water, so with the steady rainfall of late (and relative mild summer) it’s no wonder these are blooming in abundance.
Did you know? 🤔
There are over 250 known species to the genus Camellia 🤯

Malva subovata, the #seamallow, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to the shores of the western and central Mediterranean.
These flower profusely. I recall them years ago when I visited along the coastline of their natural habitat.

These #azaleas are going gangbusters atm.
They flower from #autumn through winter, with their main flush in spring.
They’re only meant to be ‘spot flowering’ at present.
Love to revisit this hybrid beauty in the spring to see what a full-on flowering display looks like!
Did you know (cos I didn’t!) 🤔
Humans have, by way of manipulation, created over 10,000 azalea cultivars?

A domestic #olivegrove consisting of a few hundred trees in #Centralvictoria #Australia… just after #dusk.
These will be ready to pick soon.
The trees will be subject to a machine that will ‘shake’ each of them one by one carefully (and with love!), so that the olives drop on a mat and scooped up into a hopper.
This machine is called a ‘shaker’, funny enough!
We’ve had many a year prior, with dozens of peeps from near and far coming to pick for a few hours over a weekend - and rewarded with a hearty spread, vino and cheer.
Loads of strangers turn up to participate.
Olives go off to a small processing plant nearby and come back as oil. Loads of rain last year which means a bumper crop this year.
This lot will yield between 1000 - 2000 litres this year I think…
Pretty cool!

Meet this critter, the #orbspider, scary looking, but she’s pretty harmless.
This is a female. They’re the big ones! Males are way-smaller in size.
I saw a heap of these (nearly walked into this one’s web) a week ago, along the #LoddonRiver in #Bendigo #australia.
Australian golden orb weaver:
Found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, northern New Zealand, and New Caledonia.
The female typically grows to around 40mm (1.5 inch), whereas males only reach around 7-10mm (quarter to a third of an inch) in length.
It’s web is normally over 1 metre in diameter. Once built, it never leaves its web.
They’re harmless and not poisonous to humans.
Its main predators are birds and parasitic wasps.
Breeds throughout late summer and autumn, and produces an average of 380 eggs.
The tiny males tie down the much larger females before mating, weaving silk threads over their abdomens.
Sexual cannibalism is relatively rare with this species, however up to 50% of males are cannibalised throughout the natural course of life (and whilst attempting to mate), as ‘prey’.
They’re an edible spider; considered a delicacy in New Guinea. They’re lightly roasted over an open fire. Ummm, no thanks 😳

More late blooming #yucca living a healthy and happy existence in #CaulfieldSouth #Australia.
These will soon soften, brown and fall away after another fortnight. They only seem to last a few weeks in bloom.
They provide such visual delight given the densely packed creamy-white bulbous flowers, atop the splaying green leaves of these magnificent structures.
Most exceed 3 metres (10 foot) in height.

#WoollyGrevillea is just a stunning floral specimen, don’t you think?
#Grevillea comes in so many shapes, sizes and forms.
This spreading shrub with narrowly linear leaves and clusters of pink to red, and cream-coloured flowers, are simply a delight.
So healthy too.
This species is endemic to south-eastern Australia

Despite being late in our first month of #autumn here in #Australia, #flora is still abundant in its many colours. Here in #Melbourne, anyways.
This gorgeous rose bush is flowering still… in #CaulfieldSouth - the yellows with red-pink ‘splotches’ (technical term 😁) are too good to be true.

Some sad news.
#Missy, our gorgeous Tonkinese passed early last week.
She had been struggling health-wise for the past six months, however her recent decline was rapid and is now racing around elsewhere I’m sure, in another world of wonderment and joy.
Thankful that she brought so much love and light to our lives and kept #Bronte-cat company.
Be well beautiful girl.
You’re not too far from here, only a dimension or two away.

I’ve done a considerable search on this one. But… to no avail. There are heaps of varieties matching the leaf structure and colour (this time of year) but that’s about the extent of the similarities.
I thought it was some kind of ash, but the branches on this are unique with its dark, uneven, slender woody structures and black markings along the branch, every centimetre or so.
My dad planted one of these in the front garden. It is deciduous so it drops its leaves and leaves a gorgeous balanced network of upturned branches - I recall it’s structure as huge and imposing, as a kid.
And remember the knobbly network of branches, that this one will soon display.
I remember dad saying it needed loads of water during the summer due to its usual habitat being way different to ours in #melbourne.
But never to this day have I thought to research it’s name.
Any ideas? 🤔
Deciduous:
Deciduous trees are those that are seasonally adaptive, which results in a glorious rainbow of colour in autumn, typically from early March to the end of May.
They shed their leaves in preparation for winter, and leaves flourish again in late spring, changing from green to warmer shades again.

Gorgeous #Salvia #sage, is a perennial (enduring from season to season) native to Nuevo León, Mexico and parts of the United States including Texas and Oklahoma.
Rich with colour, these are growing happily in #caulfieldsouth #Australia.
Eye-catching and worthy of a share!
