Easter Monday

Easter Monday sky at 6.30 am. It doesn't look to bad, every cloud has a silver lining.



The easter bunny has been busy. He took a mighty hop and landed on the bookcase.




The easterbunny has been generous.


Shots from my daughter and son in law's garden. Queensland Bottletree,
Brachychiton Rupestris.



Cycad, surviver from before the Dinosaurs!



Cycad, the whole plant. A good reference search site for Cycads: The Cycad pages:
ML's Permaculture veggie patch.

I always admire the Pampas Grass....and
.
the hundreds of natives they have planted in their garden. This is Grevillia "Moolight".


Believe it or not:
In the spring, although a young man's fancy may lightly turn in the direction which Tennyson suggested, the gardener has not time for any such diversion: it is his busy season.
