On our way to Westbury here in Tasmania the other day the Hawthorn was out and looking pretty.
We took a road that we don't drive on often so the photos are of the countryside in the mid north west of the Island.
Cows grazing, white Hawthorn and pink growing in the paddocks and along part of the side of the road. Some places or areas have Hawthorn Hedges but not in this area.
Hedges were almost unknown in 1810 but from 1820 onwards the settlers were planting hedges as fences.
Hello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place. Amazing to see that area.
Shot 2 is so nice. Very well taken.
Greetings, Marco
Thanks Marco, always good to 'frame' is you can.
DeleteNever seen Hawthorn the plant. Only heard of its leaves, berries, and flowers used in medicine for heart/blood circulation disorders.
ReplyDeleteLovely white flowers!
Yes, Hawthorn has many uses. Certainly blooms beautifully.
DeleteSchöne weiße Blüten.

Pretty in mass.
DeleteIt looks beautiful - and so very, very green and lush.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see it all green, won't be long and it will be brown, we are already watering the garden and lawn here.
DeleteVery pretty, nice and green!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and it's green but will turn brown later in summer.
DeleteEsas plantas resultan muy vistosas. Esa nueva ruta, te han hecho conocer, nuevos paisaje que son bastante hermosos.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Always good to take another road if possible, we can do that here in Tasmania mostly.
DeleteLooks so pretty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful to see in reality Jo-Anne.
DeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteDriving along this laneway a few minutes ago...I gave way to a Land Mullet (lizard) as he/she scurried across the road.
Oh I recall us driving in WA and having to dodge the big lizards, you can do that over there as there are not many cars on the highway going north or coming south.
DeleteThat is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Natalia
DeleteWe already have autumn here in Poland and you have a beautiful green blooming summer!
ReplyDeleteThat plant is beautiful !
Take care !
Yes, autumn for you and spring for us..
DeleteIt is a nice plant and flower.
Beautiful blossoms! And I especially like the way the two trees frame the first shot.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice blossom, not always easy to find two trees to frame a photo.
DeleteThe Hawthorn is beautiful indeed. What a burst of blossom. i bet it was fragrant too.
ReplyDeleteHawthorn has a sweet sickly smell when in mass.
DeleteHedges always look the best to me.
Wow what a great place
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis prairie area looks charming and makes me an exotic sight.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret.

DeleteThese are all lovely, my favourite is the second one, I do like how you've framed it :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Was lucky to frame it, just happened to be tree either side, doesn't always happen.
DeleteThank you.
Se ve precioso. El espino blanco hay mucho por aquí. Besos.
ReplyDeletePlenty of it in that area, but there is also a lot in other areas out that way.
