Nothing special, it was a nice day so I went for a walk. I didn't have a destination in mind, I just went for a wander to get a feel of the weather. It looks and feels like we might get a real summer again this year, I hope so, I feel weird looking this lilly white.
I thought I'd take a couple more pictures to share while it all still looks nice and green. Spring is normally a very short season here and we're usually shifting in to summer by the middle of October. Here summer time is when everything looks brown and dead, it's a hot climate.
My local park, there's lots of parks everywhere here. The area in the first picture is mostly used by a dog obedience club, and other side of the club rooms is a typical suburban football oval.
Australian cities are fairly sprawled out, we don't like living in each other's back pockets. Here even two story buildings are uncommon. All the houses are built of brick and the power poles are made of steel and concrete, we get termites here.
And a couple of Spring flowers that many of you won't see very often. First the Grevillea. These come in a range of colours from yellow through to red and they're great for attracting small parrots like lorikeets.
And a Kangaroo Paw. I don't know why it's called that, it doesn't look very much like a kangaroo's paw to me.
I stopped in the shops on the way home so that the afternoon wasn't a total waste but I had a good time.
