Burnham Beeches...

At the top of the Alfred Nicholas gardens stands the old mansion
'Burnham Beeches'.
It's sadly not being used at present, but I took a photo of it reflected in
one of the lovely garden pools.

This is the sign, describing the history of the building.

Charity Fashion Parade...

This afternoon I took some pics at a local charity event run by the Uniting Church Opp Shop.
The models were all locals and the funds raised are going to support a school in East Timor, and the Belgrave CFA.

There were interesting fabric Collages decorating the walls.

Another Collage.

Another decorative panel.

Just for a bit of fun.

Magnolia...

Once again, something from George Tindale Gardens.

Dogwood...

Just lovely...

Viburnum....

Beautiful flowering tree,
down by the lake at the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens

George Tindale Gardens...

On Saturday after noon I went to a plant sale in the beautiful George Tindale Memorial Gardens.
The spring colour is just gorgeous, truly a beautiful part of the world.

Shot Of The Day...

A beautiful shot taken at the Alfred Nicholas Gardens today.

Misty Morning...

Looking out over Silvan Dam this morning on my way to work.

Over The Rainbow....

The view from Kalorama out over the hills.

I ended up taking a sharp left turn at Olinda Creek Road.
 Through the valley... all soft unmade but graded roads.

 Under a dense and beautiful canopy of Gum Trees....
up and eventually on to the high ground at the far end.

A beautiful and inspirational drive.

Hamer Arboritum...

The view back over the hills from Hamer Arboritum, on a cold and foggy Melbourne afternoon.

Fern Trees...

Some pics I took in the forest yesterday as the fog rolled in.

On My Way Home...

I stopped at a very quiet and beautiful spot on the top of the mountain today and came upon these lovely creatures.

On My Way To Work...

I stopped to take a couple of pics.

Misty Morning...

The view from my back door this morning.

New View...

I'm in the process of moving, same area, just a bit of a downsize...
but this is the view.

See Da Wood...

Beautiful blooms at the Sassafras Nursery.

Around The Hills...

A few photos from the local area, when it was a bit more Autumny, than Wintery.

Down On The Farm...

The beautiful landscape of the Yarra Valley....

Autumn In The Yarra Valley...

When the Sun's out and the sky is blue, the Autumn colours just glow.
