Lilies of the Field

Lilies of the Field

this is the native Darling/Murray lily -(Crinum Flaccidum)-a wonderful lily which flowers when conditions are right – usually after a decent amount of rain. Clumps of these in greening paddocks look beautiful at any time ๐Ÿ™‚

Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget

ANZAC morning at Kulcurna is always a special time . This year the sounds of the Last Post cam from a real instrument , not a recording – and drifted across the water to greet the sun.
Around 80 people shared the service ,and breakfast afterward.
There were babies at their first ANZAC , people who well remembered WW2 and those who had served in Vietnam.

Spring at Kulcurna

We are lucky this year to have had rain at the best time to allow native plants to get to flowering stage ๐Ÿ™‚ It has been just lovely seeing the different colours and types of flowers & fruit – including the delicious quandongs !

Early Morning .. a touch of mist ,and the sun mostly being hidden by clouds. I was trying to photograph some wildflowers , when I heard a noise, and saw this little kangaroo hopping straight for me ๐Ÿ™‚
Closer and closer she hopped , then stopped to have a long gaze and a sniff – we exchanged a ‘Good morning’ , and off she went again .
