Magnolia full of bees

 In December I am enjoying the aroma therapy from the blooming magnolias on my way to the dog oval. The bees love to roll around in the pollen, it's delicious and they don't mind me sharing for a whiff of goodness. 

Colourful berries

 

Just a colourful shot while walking the dog in Swanbourne of some pretty berries.

Wattle flowers

I photographed these wattle flowers at Point Resolution Reserve in Dalkeith thinking it was a normal wattle. But trying to find the official name I can't find any wattle with the same leaves as this one... so I have no idea about this variety.
