Flowers Galore Part 1

It is wildflower season here in Western Australia and because we have had really good rainfall this winter the flowers are better then ever.
So on Tues DH and I went for a drive to a place called “Coal seam” to check out the beautiful display of colour nature has to show us.

    Beautiful photos Maria; those wildflowers are magnificent! It's one of those 'must do' things on our list, to travel to WA in spring.

    The flowers are so abundant for you this year and the colors are wonderful - nature's palette.

    Seeing the cockatiel in the tree reminds me of mine when it escaped. Maybe that IS mine!!! lol

    I was amazed by the birds you have there. I had heard there were flocks of parrots in the 1700s and 1800s across America but we have never seen anything like this.

    Thanks so much for posting! It must be incredible to have a pink and grey galah sit on your bird feeder!

    You are surely living in Paradise this time of year. Everything is so beautiful.

    I had to laugh at the cockatiels because I have 7 of them -and it is so nice to see them moving about freely.

    I had to laugh at DH one time when he mentioned maybe I would want to teach them to talk- I told him I could hear people all day long -but bird talk was a pleasure to me. LOL

    What beautiful flowers and colors. I LOVE that sculpture! DOn't you just love spring? It will soon be fall here, with more lovely colors, but with the threat of winter to follow. Enjoy every minute of spring.
