Jack Frost...

Heuchera Chocolate Ruffles


Fothergilla leaves glowing in the early light
Can't help but LOVE the effect of frosts on the landscape. At my office this morning (with coat and leather gloves on!) I had to snap these pics of the first frost for the season. The Heuchera looked particularly gorgeous in the early morning light, with the sun just catching the icicles. Mother nature never ceases to create beauty, it's up to us how we interpret it......

Melbourne

Just back from a week in Melbourne. What a beautiful city. Absolutely gorgeous. And the people were so friendly. Exceptional public transport. The street trees were spectacular, as was all the modern architecture and public spaces. Wow! Came back feeling very inspired. Took lots of photos of bollards, sculptures and planting schemes, that I suspect will not make it in to the family album. I understand not everybody enjoys these things as much as I do........

Here are some of my favourites...........
