Please show me your bling in nature!

[Neptune]

What beautiful wings. I need to try and take some nature shots to add to this thread; putting on the to do list - although it is forecast to rain for the next week

Right? Nature knows how to put on a great show.

& don't forget the bling when you do.

Well hello, you have a posh outerwear on.




Also a great inspiring yoga teacher.

It's autumn but my Camelias are still in tight bud so not a lot of flowers
I was on my way to Sunday morning tea with a work mate and the bird lady who gets our old bread at work

This is the NZ native clematis paniculata . A mouth ago it was completely leafless
It has a pleasant if faint perfume. The modern hybrids are more flashy with larger flowers and more perfumed
it is techinally an ever green but when it gets really dry in late summer it looks dead


but a bit of rain did wonders

And my Lamarr ring with jasmine Arizona
Blooming it's heart out a week latter
Smells so lovely. Not sickly as the common jasmine polyamthus that is on the noxis weed list here that gives my asthma gib


excuse hairy fingers

least of my worries right now

Sometimes I take a short cut and walk through the old school grounds between our street and the next street
All the buildings are gone now but there are lots if self down trees
I took Aunty Neter's ER out for a stroll
She was married durring the great depresson and her ring is a really nice size for the time

How incredibly special to have such a beautiful piece that has been passed down

Wild seeded Australoan wattle
They are every where and flower a good month or two earlier than in Welington

Been out to visit my friend for coffee again today

Corokia is a popular NZ native used for hedging
We thought we got rid of ours but they grow back
They have little yellow flowers. They can stay
@stracci2000 I do own some nice turquoise

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

This is my diamond and Sapphire stack
This Corokia needs a tidy up. I have an empty green waste bin waiting but I'm waiting till the berries are finished as the birds like them
It's hard to see the dark wine colored berries but the birds know they are there
