Spring has arrived in Queensland!
Sunday, August 31st, 2008
Due to the spring weather that is now upon us in Queensland, Australia, I have noticed a lot more insects fluttering and buzzing around plus all the spring blooms which are bursting with vitality, colour and fragrances in my garden. The flowering Jasmine for instance has the most beautiful smell and it’s just a shame that it only flowers once a year at the end of August. I couldn’t resist capturing the early signs of spring with my camera. Spring has a knack of cheering you up, don’t you think?

The Jasmine looks magnificent in our car port and the fragrance is gorgeous
This of course attracts the bees who have a pollen feast awaiting them!
This bee is really hunting out that pollen!

Wow, you are celebrating spring and I am watching the end of summer and the advent of Autumn. I hope you have a lot of photo documenting to do of the new season - I’m thinking seeing spring and summer from your spot on the globe will nicely augment my heading into browns (old leaves) and then whites (lots and lots of snow.)
