Wasp

This wasp was busy with a huge parcel of honey on my basil, not sure if she was kneading the honey or what she was doing in the basil, as there are no flowers there...

Beach in spring

South of Cottesloe at Dutchies.

Shell

There are quite a few big shells on the beach. Their shapes always intrigue me, so ingenious. This one had the shine of mother of pearl on top, will need to rub off a bit to get more of it.

Feather at sea

This sea gull feather was floating on the clear water south of Cottesloe beach were we were kayaking yesterday morning.

Thorn tree

A few weeks back when I was in Kings Park I spend some time in searching for the thorn tree I'd seen a few years ago during one of the guided walks. It's such a special tree; the bark is completely covered in very sharp pointy thorns and even the branches have big thorns. I don't know what all those spikes are protecting as there weren't many leaves or flowers on the tree and I can't find much information on it.

Grass

Some of the walking paths in Kings Park are covered with blooming grasses, soft flossy stuff.

Kookaburra

I don't like these funny like monkeys screaming birds anymore since I know they eat all my fish from the pond. Everytime I hear them in the garden I know I will have less goldfish the next morning...

Blossom

Spring is in the air!
The ornamental peach tree in our garden has two types of blossom; this bright pink one and a stripy white and pink one. I am so annoyed the people who lived here before planted an ornamental peach, why not a real one with fruit...???
