Wordless Wednesday (almost) - Nature Walk

I loved the stillness during my walk. All I could hear was the wind.
I wish I could just keep walking sometimes. 
I'm fascinated by the holes created by ants. Although I can't see any activity I wonder about the hive of busy-ness that is possibly happening right under my feet.
To me, these almost look like pig snouts!
I can't wait to see these eucalyptus blossoms burst bloom and wonder what colour they are.


I saw this and automatically my minds eye saw my brothers and I using this as the base for a shelter construction.

I couldn't see any wildflowers but this cheery dandelion caught my eye. 



This path leads to the picnic and BBQ area and a playground.

I'm grateful for the beautiful, clear, blue sky.

The local weather station records rainfall, temperature, wind speed and evaporation. Staff from the Gardens collect this data and sends it to the bureau of Meteorology.

Garden staff have created what I have called "woodhenge"; using stumps from fallen trees to make natural picnic seats or meeting places for school groups.
I was glad to get this quick photo of the local wallaby. It was being pursued by an eager child!
