We woke to quite an overcast morning - rain yesterday afternoon and a bit more during the night. It certainly looked like it was going to be a raincoat type of walk - felt a bit like being in Armadale at the cottage.
The weather lifted a bit by the end of the walk and seemed to allow the bees to get active as you can see from the photos at the beginning - they love the large magnolia flowers.
The early part of the walk had droplets as reminders of the rain.
I love the purple carpets of Jacaranda blossom on the road and cars under the trees.
Yesterday afternoon before the rain we had a swarm of butterflies passing through - some could not resist the temptation of stopping to have a meal on the Lavender bush below the deck.
And it can't be iPhoneograpy on Wednesday without sharing one of Graham's orchids when they are blossoming. Magic tiny white orchid.
Our tiny veggie garden likes the rain and warmth - tomatoes are beginning to form.
our second crop tomatoes are finally ripening ... yours look to have a ways to go
