Iris

My left eye iris.

Tiger Lily

This beautiful Tiger Lily is blooming in my garden and I pay special attention to it being a Tiger according the Chinese Zodiac with the upcoming year of the Golden Tiger starting on Valentines Day.

Playing with shadow

This morning I noticed the shadow creating patterns on my leg and I was fascinated by it. Why can't we wear shadows in hot summers instead of textiles?

Lips

Monitor

This healthy and much fatter monitor was photographed by Helen, my Dutch friend, at Contos campground.

Monitor

This skinny guy we met along the Cape track on day four he was walking on the path in a burned area, not sure it it was a regulated burned area or an accident. Only know that this fellow is looking pretty hungry to me. Look at his lose skin hanging of his body, poor thing.

More seaweed

Also along the coast at Leeuwin NP. This seaweed has a beautiful texture, if we could use that instead of plastic...

Seaweed

Walking along the coastline of Leeuwin National Park there was not that much seaweed this time of year but once in a while we came across a few nice things like these little bags of water feeling very jelly like. And the crinkled leafs, fresh leatherly salads from the sea.

Fluff

This fluffy grass is growing along parts of the Cape to Cape track we did last week. Six days it took us to walk the 135km walk along the coast in the south between Dunsborough and Augusta.

Another rose

Rose

This sepia coloured rose is growing in a big pot in my garden since a few weeks. I've inherited from a friend who moved house resently and I love the smell of these roses.

Walter's Point

I could walk all the way to the end on the sand bank at Walter's Point last Sunday. It was late in the afternoon, cloudy and windy and the reeds where looking their part!

Hollyhock

They are blooming now for a few weeks in our garden and only a few days ago I discovered the difference in the flowers on the same stem. Some are male and some are female, but which one is which?

Peppermint Gum Flowers

The Peppermint Gums are blooming in Bold Park. Look how sexy the flowers present themselves to the insects; a wet, red heart!

Natural spirals

This is a spiral end of the passion fruit bush in the back of my garden. This one obviously couldn't find anything to hold.
