128:365 Early flowers for Mother's Day

It's lovely receiving early flowers for mother's day. These proteas will last for many weeks in the vase. I might try growing some as they come from Sth Africa and grow quite well in Austalia.

127:365 Autumn driveway

Another lovely autumn scene that I drive past most days. Trying to get the best autumn picture can be tricky as you want to catch the trees while they still have leaves but are in their best colors.
I like the autumn entrance into the driveway. It's not our driveway but a driveway in at Strathfieldsaye and its probably the only time of the year that I notice the driveway.

126:365 View from the window

The old windows at school in the red Brick building are made from small panes of glass. There are only two of these windows and yet they let in an enormous amount of light as they face in a westerly direction. You can just see the oval outside which has greened up micely witht he rain we have had this year. Gum trees line the perimeter of the oval.

125:365 Daffodils

These are the miniature daffodils I bought the other day on my way back from Ballarat. Apparently florists can grow any flower at any time of the year.
They bring a Spring feel to the kitchen.

124:365 More autumn scenes

.
On my way home from Ballarat I went through Glenyon. The street has an autumn ceiling that looked so beautiful but I had trouble trying to catch the beauty on my iPhone. Looking through the windscreen didn't help either.

123:365 Ashby's Larder

Today I drove to Ballarat the google maps way down through Kyneton and across to Daylesford. It was a beautiful drive with lovely autumn colors, lush forests and green rolling hills. So much to photo but stopping was a problem.
On the way back I stopped to get coffee at Kyneton and found Ashby's Larder a coffee shop with all sorts of yummy foods. I bought a huge capucino and a yummy passionfruit yo-yo type biscuit. It was light and the shortbread was delicious with the passionfruit creme filling.

There was a beautiful florist next door where I bought a pot of living minature daffodils. Will post a pic in the coming days.

I was presenting to a group of ICT leaders on using the ipods for learning.

So it was one of those perfect days.

122:365 Recycling

What a great recycling station I found at Office Works. I think it's a great idea just have to gather up things to take in there.

121:365 Ants building again

I noticed yesterday that the ants were building mounds and they were still there today. Rain is predicted later in the week so hopefully we'll get a good drop before next weekend. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

120:365 1st May morning

May already and the mornings are cooler with heavy dews. Not quite a frost yet. Looking at the back yard it's hard to believe it was just dirt in Summer. Green has a relaxing effect and is so nice to look at. Mowing is now needed fotnightly.

I'll try to take the same shot on the first of each month and tag them backyard.

I actually took this yesterday.

119:365 The new scratching post

Timmy loves his new scratching post that Carey made. He also likes the sun on it and to soak up solar power.
