Cannoli

Slavka's first attempt at home made cannoli.
Not bad. It reminds me of the "old days" when we made and filled brandy snaps with thick sweetened cream.
Ah those days when you didn't have to think about calories.

Magnolia time in the hills

Looking like a flamenco dancer or a prima ballerina this beautiful Rhododendron is just bursting into bloom.

Foxy Loxy

Maxie checks out this live but obviously unwell fox at Chambers gully

Standing hands

We came across these waving hands while walking in the Mt Lofty Botanical gardens

Soccer or St Andrews

When Andrew mentioned that he was REALLY unwell during Bodhi's soccer match in the Parklands, it was just a quick step across the road to StAndrew's Hospital and an exciting few hours spent in Casualty investigating arrhythmia.
Luckily he was allowed to escape when a heart attack was eliminated as a likelihood.

Homeless

Camping in the parklands would not be  much fun at this time of year, but the remnants of people's overnights here remain as proof.

First Falls...for Lizzie

Gushing from the winter rains it's a thunderous roar and a joy to be walking in Morialta.

It's only bad weather when you're with the wrong person, in the wrong place, wearing the wrong clothes.

Floral Poirot



Le raclette

Just a few kilos of smelly hard swiss cheese, a handy dandy cheese grill, a few more kilos of boiled potatoes, some shaved serrano ham or beef, cornichons and pickled onions and VOILA....you're ready for raclette.


Sundews

Dewy sundews just opening for the day...hoping that there WILL be some sun.

Spicey

How does this Moroccan spice seller get his spice cones so high. Having tried it at home I know he must be cheating.

Windy weather

It's a bit windy for relaxing.

National Emblem

This is the wattle
it's the emblem of our land
you can stick it in a bottle
or you can hold it in your hand.
Amen!
