A few things!

Youngest sister in law came to visit today, could hardly walk.  She improves as the day goes on.  It happened overnight last week.  Went to bed, upon arising she couldn't walk very well, her hands and legs painful and swollen, just to name a few things that are wrong.  Tests are being done by her Dr. It appears though not confirmed, she is having a bad reaction to 'Statin' which is her Cholesterol tablet.  All cholesterol tablets are statins.

I bought a new iPad Air 2 a couple of days ago, very pleased with it.  My old iPad 2 was jumpy and slow, it's been used heaps and is worn out nearly 4 years on.

Travelling around not that far from home here I took some photos in the country which don't belong to anything in particular, just an assortment of photos. I took these around the Longford area here in Tasmania, Australia.

An old barn which is the entrance to Accommodation apparently.

The cross at the Catholic Church in Longford.  We asked two locals where the church was, neither could tell us.  The church was locked, and Mass is held there I presume once a month, though I am not sure.

Note the bell on the right. Don't often see this attached to a church.

The above house is in the town of Perth, and it once belonged to one of my husband's Aunties and her husband, long ago.  It's the only two story house built on the side of the road in Perth.

Naked ladies because they have no leaves.  These are found in many places at this time of the year.

Out the Front!

As mentioned in previous post, some of the flowers that grow or used to grow out the front.  Some photos.

Climbing White Pascali.

Climbing Ena Harkness.

Anemone, long gone.

Yellow Banksia

White Banksia - both Banksia's have been cut to the ground, they will be lucky if they grow again up over the arch at the front of the house.  

Very pretty - now in bloom but not in my garden.

Autumn in my yard!

A Wedding Anniversary has passed, another birthday of mine will arrive in the middle of the month, and many things are changing in the backyard as Winter approaches on the June 1. Being a lovely sunny day I ventured out to take a few photos of our autumn colours of the Nanadinas, Nandina domestica plus a couple of other plants.  We have a small and a taller one, the cooler the Autumn the more colour in the leaves.

The taller Nandina with it's flowers.

The small Nandina

There are a few roses still blooming, this one is Crespucle.

Potato Vine which seems to bloom near enough all year round.

Natives!

The Banksia is classed as a wild flower that grows in many areas of Australia even here in Tasmania. Many people grow them in their garden, they attract the birds and are easy to look after.
Then there are Leucadendron's on the right, most being a native of South Africia.
I took these photos just in the bush in Western Australia a couple of years back.

Sturt Desert Pea_Swainsona formosa.

Sturt Desert Pea, Swainsona formosa photo taken in Western Australia a few years ago.
It's an Australian plant in the genus Swainsona, named after English botanist Isaac Swainson, famous for its distinctive blood-red leaf-like flowers, each with a bulbous black centre.
The Pea is also a wild flower in some areas of Australia, will grow in an arid environment. 
It grows low and is very pretty in a mass.

Flowers!

The daffodils are just about finished blooming this spring with the days getting warmer along with the nights, and of course spring showers.

I have had my father staying with us this past week, he enjoys the company so he says. Next week I will drive 230 km (round trip) and bring him home to stay again before he goes into the private hospital for a small procedure, then he will come back to my house till he is strong enough, then I take him home again to his house.  I stay with my father for 2 to 3 nights each week if he isn't staying at our house. He is now used to our house as to where things are, but there are several things he can't do due to his blindness.

The photo of the very small daffodil is only sharp in the middle but that is they way I wanted it.

The first of the Freesias.

Another Iris, and I prefer this colour than the last one I photographed.
