This past week has been super busy since coming back from the holiday, so hence not a lot of blogging going on.
As we say goodbye to the last day of August, I will recollect some of the happy moments with photos.
Shopping at Newmarket is beautiful at this time of the year with the pretty pink magnolia trees dotted along the footpath. The flowers looked like pink velvet
The plumage of the Parakeet sitting in the tree outside my kitchen window was pretty. Can you see the colourful red, green and yellow?
Loved the chairs at the Victoria Park bus stop - waiting for the bus here would be fun
Duplicate wood pigeons sitting on the telephone wires
My dear daughter made a video of our holiday in Port Douglas, if you have a spare moment and want to see a little more of this beautiful place, here is the link. You can see some of the noisy bird life that I was telling you about
Thank you for the kind notes you left me from the previous post, appreciate each and every one and I look forward to coming to say hello to you all.
Have a beautiful day my friends
hugs
Carolyn
Dear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that we are at the end of August. We are beginning to notice that the days are getting a little shorter. They must be getting longer for you.
Busy days only seem to get busier!.........*s*
Hello Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures! they are a beautiful way to say goodbye to August. The chairs really are fantastic! I also enjoyed your daughter's video. what a great experience it must have been.,
Big hug

So I first enjoyed the video of Port Douglas by your daughter Victoria to have a little impression of Australia, very well done. We are planning a holiday to Australia for next year so of course I was very interested.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be able to see these parakeets from your kitchen window.
Wish you a lovely spring and greetings from Holland.
Hello,Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful holidays. I watched the video with smile.
Thank you for sharing many beautiful places! Have a good day!
Oh my, those chairs at the bus stop are darling! What a fun and unique idea :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your September is sweetly blessed, my friend. Hugs to you!
Beatiful magnolia😌
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to get away and it sounds like you had a lovely time. My 5 weeks on the road and in the sky got to be a little much, but I had to settle my son in at college and now I'm back home an empty nester. Bittersweet times indeed. I no longer have kids to drive to school. Happy September!
ReplyDeleteYour Pigeons are better looking than ours in England. We do have parakeets here now, they are a lovely green, they certainly brighten the bird table.
ReplyDeleteI love the details. Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWell, Victoria's video shows so much the similarities with Bali... Fond memories and no doubt you did enjoy your very special family holiday.
Wow, you are enjoying the magnolias again as we are winding down. Not yet below 30 degrees C but it is not as hot hot anymore.
Hugs,
Mariette
Amazing magnolia....wowwwww....live from me happy week love Ria x
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, Blessings to you this fine day! Chairs like this at the stop would be a delight to sit in and wait for transportation.
ReplyDeleteNot everyday do you see a sight like this. I did see the colorful bird outside your window! This would have been a awesome sight to see.
As the season draws to a close a new one is beginning to take place. I will be ready for cooler temps here as your temps warm up.
All the best,

This is why I enjoy blogs from around the world - it really does bring home the little differences that we all share. As you go into longer warmer days, and we drift off into darker, cooler days - enjoy the coming Spring days Carolyn.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderfull autumn!

I always appreciate random photos, Carolyn. They are lovely and interesting at the same time. The pink magnolia trees are very pretty. And to see a Parakeet with bright colors would be a sight for sure.

Hello Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI love those seats, can you imagine a big burly bloke sitting on the flower seat??
Happy Spring.

It must been wonderful to see signs of Spring emerging. I enjoyed Victoria's video of Port Douglas. it felt so peaceful apart from the birds! She is very good at videoing, I joined her for her Mini tour of Auckland too! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteThose chairs at the bus stop are a classy touch, and I like that parakeet.
