About Me
I live in Western Australia, near the water, in the city. I like to wander about. I love my family and friends. I read when I can, write when I can, take photos and hope for the best.
"When, however, I look over the hints and memorandums I have taken down ... my heart almost fails me at finding how my idle humor has led me aside ..."

Kings Park on a Sunny Saturday in July
Forgetting to pay the rent online can have its advantages. I caught the bus to the property agent yesterday and, rather than wait for the next bus, decided to walk through Kings Park to the city. At the Western Power Playground I saw a sign pointing to the DNA Tower.
I must have looked a little lost amongst all the kids, parents and footballs because just as I worked out how to get to the walkway, a guy with his kids called out, "You can join us if you can't find them."
At the tower I decided that I can climb the Leeuwin Lighthouse so I should be okay, even though the lighthouse doesn't shake. The people in the photo look like they're up there for a casual meeting with whoever's in the clouds.
From the tower I could look back down the way I'd come towards the playground and out to sea.
The river is visible, looking down towards the water either side of the Narrows as seen here and also towards Barrack St.
Heading towards town, I spotted this silver princess and wanted to take a photo of the bell-like gum nuts.
No Ragged Blossom here, all neat and perfect.
Yellow flowers are everywhere and yet they always make me turn and look.
I'd almost walked past this bloom before I swung around. Yellow again!

Thanks for these photos - we were in Kings Park on Sunday and of course I didn't think to bring the camera...
Hi CW, Hope you enjoyed your visit too. The haze meant it wasn't a great time to remember my camera, and the snaps aren't as clear as I'd like, but I hope it gives people an idea of what I saw. :-)
Hi Deanne, wow I do look forward to get to the Kings Park again, seeing those great pictures :-)
At the moment it´s summer time here so the flora is also very colorful.

Hi Iris! What kind of flowers are blooming in Germany at the moment? I didn't expect to see many plants flowering this time of year here, although a friend who works with native plants is already heading out for field work, which she usually does in Spring.
