That time of year again!

Wattle time here in Tasmania.  I do love to see wattle flowers, they stand out amid the green trees in the paddocks and our bush.  

We went last weekend to where I usually take photos of wattle but unfortunately the trees had been removed so I had to find another place.   Some of the wattle was out and some not.

  1. Omg, wattle season looks so pretty. I love how the yellow pops against all the green it must make for such a cheerful view. Sad about your usual spot, but glad you still found some gorgeous flowers to photograph.

    1. Wattle is always good to see as it reminds me that winter is nearly passed and spring is about to come.

  3. They look very beautiful. Your climate must be warm even though it is winter at your place, Margaret.

    1. Thank you Marit. Yes it's certainly warmer compared to where you live. Mostly the temperature is around 9 to 17 deg C in winter during the daytime, however, we find it rather cold at times..lol.

  6. Even with the loss of your usual spot, it must have been uplifting to find new bursts of golden wattle brightening the landscape

    1. Oh yes it was good to find another spot, and they are not hard to find but don't always have different varieties.

  8. The wattle is not out here yet.
    On the weekend I went to the beach and the breakers were tossing
    the board riders all over the place. Beats me how the young bucks can
    stand up. Boards to the left - riders to the right!!! Ouch!
    Lovely an sunny here but at 9.00am no heat yet!
    Cheers

      You are knowledgeable regarding the surf!
      Sunny this morning and cloudy this afternoon.

  10. Daffodils and wattle blooming are signs that spring is close by. I haven't seen a wattle in full bloom yet this year. I think I need to leave the city.

    1. Oh yes, not long to spring, Andrew. I guess you do need to go country to find wattle as it's not a great tree to have in the backyard. We used to have one in our backyard, but it split in two all by itself.

  13. Thanks for sharing this lovely glimpse of wattle time in Tasmania. It's so nice to hear about the landscape changing with the seasons.

    It's a shame that your usual spot for photos was gone, but it's great that you were able to find another place to capture them. Hopefully, you'll be able to get some great photos as more of the wattle blooms!
