Geraldton Wax flowers.

Geraldton is a town about 400km from Perth

Geraldton wax ( Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a beautiful flowering Australian native shrub that brings colour to gardens from late winter to spring. As the common name suggests, Geraldton wax comes from Western Australia.

We bought Yuki a rubber frisbee to play with and she loves it. When she picks it up and runs it looks like the wax lips we used to buy when I was a kid.

Geraldton wax is its name and it was discovered in Geraldton a coastal city in the Mid West region of the Australian state of Western Australia.

Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!

I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.

Moon that appears more than half lighted but less than full is called a gibbous moon.

Stepped out after sunset and was surprised at the coolness in the air after a warm humid day. Then saw my favorite model in crescent form, in the growth, Waxing Crescent....summer has begun. Love the two dots of light off the bottom crescent!
