Autumn Inspiration

It's May already time seems to go so quickly these days. My son Felix is now one and another on the way due in October very exciting times.
To celebrate Felix's first birthday my husband and I took him to the National Rhododendron Garden in Mt Dandenong for a picnic. It was a beautiful autumn day with lots of colour exploding all around us.
I haven't picked up my Nikon camera in such a long time opting for the easy iPhone to take most of my photos and it was great to hold it again and to take some amazing photos to be proud of. It reminded me of a talent and passion I have that has been lost for awhile now and it was great to get inspired and back into it.
I took many photographs but here are some of the special ones.

Strawberry Patch Haul

Summer is here.......well officially in 1 day
Today is 38 degrees the first hot day in a long time. I got up early this morning to water the garden and to pick all the ripe strawberries. A few big ones where sadly eaten by some snails but oh well I don't mind sharing. Now what to make, a smoothie or just to eat them as they are mmmmm maybe both...... 




  
This picture was taken on the 4th  of September just after putting down the sugar cane mulch in preparation for the fruit so it doesn't rot when it hits the dirt.


 This photo was taken today in the same spot it has grown so much soon I will be harvesting peaches cant wait until that day......
