Mosaic Monday ... Down By The River.
Over the weekend, I found myself enjoying a leisurely Sunday breakfast at a park beside our local river. This particular park is found in the city down by the Melaleuca and Eucalypt-lined Ross River. It was a glorious Winter's day, with wide expanses of blue skies and fabulous sunshine. The view was fantastic.

How clear and refreshing and cool it all looks. A feast to look at for us up here in the heat and humidity right now. Enjoy your winter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurrie. Our Winter has just been fabulous. It's a shame the end is drawing nearer.
DeleteLooks calm and relaxing! Taking a bit perspective! Real nice! LT
ReplyDeleteI would recommend this spot to any visitor, LT!!
DeleteLovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jean. I think we'll make the effort to visit it more often now!
DeleteBeautiful trees in an idyllic setting.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're absolutely right, Donna. They are such beautiful trees and the setting was lovely.
DeleteGorgeous! I love your header photos, too!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you, PlantPostings. All the photos in the header are things I see right here near my home.
DeleteThat is a nice row of Eucs. Do you know Arizona has a lot of Australian themed gardens here? In fact, many of the Eucs will grow in our environment.....I have the Coolibah which grows like a weed with a little water. Love your shots!
ReplyDeleteYes I've seen photos of the fabulous Eucalypts that grow over in Arizona, and California. I must say I'm always a little surprised when I see our fabulous natives thriving in such places, but I suppose if the conditions suit, then they will grow. How wonderful that you have a Coolibah Tree. They are magnificent!
DeleteWhat a lovely serene place to relax. I also notices Eucs down in California a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteI've seen photos from fellow Californian gardeners, Jennifer, showing lots of magnificent Eucalyptus trees growing in gardens and parks. Such a lovely surprise.
DeleteIt is so lovely to be out on a wonderful winter's morning isn't it. We went walking in the bush with our grandsons - and had a lovely lovely day with them. Great to catch up with you again at Mosaic Monday Bernie. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThere really is nothing better, Jill, especially on a winter's day up here in the north. So very delightful! Sounds like you had a very special day, breathing in the perfume of the bush and spending the day with your gorgeous grandkids.
DeleteSuch a relaxing way to start a Sunday. It looks beautiful down by the river.
ReplyDeleteHope you are over that nasty bug. I have a face like a gerbil at the moment had root canal surgery yesterday still can't eat anything harder than a boiled egg. Feeling pretty sorry for myself ;(
Oh, Sue, sorry to hear about the surgery. I had it done a few years back, so I can empathise completely. Hope you're feeling better soon.
DeleteI love how trees lean over the water. Looks nice and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very tranquil, peaceful spot, Indie. It was a delight starting the day with such a view.
DeleteThose white trunks really makes a beautiful scenery like weeping willows
ReplyDeleteJames, they do indeed look like weeping willows, don't they? It's a brilliant place to take a stroll.
DeleteThese are lovely and your header/banner mosaic is delightful~
ReplyDeleteThanks you Mary. The header collage shows trees and wildlife that I see in the bushland that surrounds our home here. I'm so glad you like it.
DeleteHeard about Melaleuca a number of times about its beneficial properties. The trees in the picture look pretty. The lunch fantastic as well? Have another great weekend :-D
ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie. The Melaleuca in these photos is that White Paperbark Tree. It's also commonly known as the "Tea Tree" and the Aboriginals used to infuse young green leaves from the tree in hot water to make a sort of tea substitute which was reportedly a good for cure for coughs and colds. I've never tried it myself though!
DeleteWe went to the park for breakfast, and it was just lovely. Such a great way to start the day.
Bernieh,
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and peaceful vista you portrayed. I feel like kicking back on the bank and watching the river flow by. I love the gray green foliage and scraggly bark of these Eucs. Very familiar with them from having lived in both Southern California and Israel. We have decorative, landscape Eucalyptus here in Oregon (the kind with small round leaves). Hoping that you have a wonderful week.
