SUNDAY





My husband is on night duty at the moment so I try to stay outdoors while he sleeps. I took myself of to the botanical gardens today, problem was it seemed everyone else in Melbourne had the same idea. I hadn't been for a couple of weeks & what a difference - the water lilies were in bloom as well as azaleas in every shade of pink. I met a large sulphur crested cockatoo that was chomping away on some type of conifer, he was a very curious fellow. I think I got a bit sunburt too, despite me slathering on the sunscreen. Can anyone tell me the name of the pink & mauve flowers at the top? They look like some type of poppy.
