I am one of those people who really enjoy Christmas. I enjoy it for many reasons, not least of all because I get to give gifts I have gathered throughout the year to my family and friends.
I shop for gifts all year around, and then hide them in places about the house where my partner won't find them (if they are for him) and in places out of the way for other recipients who might be visiting.
In the lead up to Christmas, my dining room becomes a wonderland of Christmas wrapping and trimmings which I joking call the Christmas Wrapping Bureau, as I usually end up wrapping all my partner's presents as well as my own. However another reason I like Christmas is that I love wrapping gifts, playing with ribbons and bright paper.
They are all done and are nestled 'neath my tree, ready for Christmas Day!

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Black Magic" rose which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa.
"Black Magic" is loved worldwide for its fascinating deep, dark red, almost black coffee coloured velvety petals and continuous flowering. The blooms are a classic rose shape with a high pointed centre. "Black Magic" is one of very few red roses to produce excellent blooms during our hot summers. "Black Magic" was bred and introduced by Tantau in 1997. Rosen Tantau, located in Northern Germany, has been breeding roses successfully for more than a century. One of its specialties is the creation of Hybrid Tea Roses suitable for the garden and cut flower industry. "Black Magic" has become very popular around the world as one of the best deep red roses which is relatively disease resistant and produces many quality flowers throughout the entire season.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden.
"Black Madonna" is a Kordes, Germany rose which produces medium-sized blooms on long stems very suitable to cut for a vase. It is also one of the first roses to flower each season.
The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.

In our love for flowers, we sometimes overlook just how beautiful their buds can be. This is the the bud of a Hardy Hydrangea, highlighting not only its amazing color, but also its lovely textures and furrows.
Have a safe and great Labor Day weekend, everyone!
In Western culture, red camellias symbolise love, passion, and deep desire. In China, the camellia represents the union between two lovers. The delicately layered petals represent the woman, and the calyx (the green leafy part of the stem that holds the petals together) represents the man who protects her. The two components are joined together, even after death. Typically when the petals of a flower fall off, the calyx will stay intact. With camellias however, the calyx and petals fall away together, which is why the camellia also represents eternal love or long-lasting devotion.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” for the 3rd of September is “flora on a black background”. This camellia bloom comes from one of my older Camellia Japonicas that are just coming into flower in my front garden. With its passionately red petals, it seemed the perfect choice to be snapped against a background of soft black velvet. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
Camellia japonica, known as common camellia, Japanese camellia, Japanese rose or Tsubaki in Japanese, is one of the best known species of the genus Camellia. Sometimes called the rose of winter, it belongs to the family Theaceae. It is the official state flower of Alabama.
This is a sign proudly proclaiming Yorky, a small steam engine built in 1901 by Savage Brothers of King’s Lynn, now restored and used to power the historic Excelsior Steam Yachts ride at Carter’s Steam Fair. Originally part of Waddington’s fairground setup, Yorky was later salvaged by showman Harry Lee before being sold to Carter’s in the early 1980s as a replacement for the original engine lost to scrap. With its compact design, polished brass, and tall funnel, Yorky is both a mechanical heart and a visual centrepiece beneath the ride’s platform.
Yorky drives two elegantly swinging boats—Britannia and Columbia—which arc dramatically into the air as the engine pistons build momentum. This rare example of a working steam-powered fairground engine not only preserves a piece of Edwardian engineering but brings it vividly to life. Still running on steam more than a century later, Yorky stands as a living reminder of the travelling showmen’s era, when steam power moved, lit, and thrilled the fairground.

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other week, and I walked past this beautiful large red rose which had burst into bloom almost seemingly overnight in the well tended cottage garden of a 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. It has a beautiful, sweet fragrance, suggesting that it is an old fashioned variety of rose. Bathed in spring light the vibrantly red bloom was simply too beautiful not to photograph.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
Whilst on the walk along the Dorset coast as I entered Durlston Country Park I was lucky to spot several of the early spring flowers, the orchids always a favourite.
There’s something about poppy flowers I find hard to resist, almost mesmerizing . They stand out wherever they are and seduce the photographer’s mind, whispering: “hi… what a nice camera… would you like to hang out with us and take a few photos?”.
Hahaha… I’m not talking to the poppies, but half of what I said is true.
“There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 12th of February is “roses”. I thought this perfect “Black Magic” rose bloom with her velvety petals, taken in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, was the right choice. I think she is very beautiful, and represents the shape, form and rich colour that make roses such a favourite flower.

Our church has a small front garden surrounding its entrance and this is one of the blossoms that offers cheer as parishioners enter the building.
Tree Peonies are truly specimen plants and when in full bloom, are real show stoppers, almost taking one's breath away with their huge and amazing flowers.
Unlike herbaceous peonies, Tree Peonies maintain their bush-like structure all year round, not dying back every winter. They are also long-lived with some reaching the 100-year mark!
Every spring I bring my camera to church and capture their splendor. Enjoy this flower with me here!
THANKS for viewing my photos, I really appreciate you taking the time, and for the faves and comments you make THANK YOU..

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 12th of August is “a flower's backside”. It is still winter where I live, but luckily for me, spring is not too far away, and whilst flowers are not plentiful, the fifty year old red and white classic camellia japonica that grows outside my front bay wind has started to bloom. I love camellias and their backs are just as elegant as their faces, with an almost architectural feel. The furry back of the petals and the calyx makes them feel like soft velvet. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.

I just could not catch this truck before it was behind a post. I had to crop that out unfortunately.
It sort of ruined the shot for me.
So nice looking this truck was.
Happy Truck Thursday

"The Prince" is a David Austin old world rose from 1990 which produces the most exotic of all roses with masses of petals compacted into each bloom quartered and quilled of rich deep crimson in colour then turning to the deepest purple. When it reaches this point a rich fragrance exudes the blooms wafting and travelling through the air. This is the most beautiful rose the colours a mixture of blackberry colours to match the fragrance of deep rose and berries.
