Miss E enjoyed looking at the farm animals which were making a visit to our local shopping centre. She wanted to enter their enclosure for a closer look but once inside, wouldn't let go of my arm. A quick close up look was more than enough for her.
Sharing a little summer colour from my garden, thinking of all of those who are enduring a long, bleak winter in the northern hemisphere.
Miss O thoroughly enjoyed constructing a meringue tree from a kit, and most everyone enjoyed deconstructing it! All except our twins who are currently interstate for a week of cricket. They are playing cricket in heatwave conditions with the next three days forecast of 39C (102F) in their location. It sure is summertime in the land down-under. Thankful that our town isn't so hot and that we seem to be clear of the flood scares we've had in our town each of the last three Januarys!

The vivid colors and textures of your flowers are enthralling. You're right - we've had 2' of snow in 2 days and the wind is howling. Right now, I can't imagine heat! Yummy to the merengue tree.
So colorful and beautiful and WARM!! It's really not so terribly cold here in Portland, just gray and chill!! Love the meringue tree, Yummy indeed!
Amazing to think it's summer time where you are when we are cold and rainy....Your flowers are beautiful....Helps us with the color we no longer have right now...
Yes, its' so hard to imagine summer right now! I enjoyed seeing your colourful flowers - such beautiful images as usual.
Gotta love Summer....it has finally decided to grace us with it's presence down here in Tassie!! Sounds like oodles of yummy fun deconstructing that meringue tree!!
I love the photos of your summer flowers. Just beautiful!
sommerminne, så flott !
Nie zazdroszczę córkom grania w krykieta przy temperaturze 39C. Upal trudny do zniesienia. Kwiaty w ogrodzie są cudne. Pozdrawiam.
I do not envy their daughters playing cricket at a temperature of 39C. The heat is hard to bear. Flowers in the garden are wonderful. Yours.
It is such a pleasure to see your summer flowers as we have a winter with lots of wet rainy grey days. The meringue tree of Miss E. looks wonderful, almost a shame to eat, haha.
After checking the blogs of my friends here in the wintery United States, clicking on your blog is so delightful, the color is what I miss the most in winter!
gorgeous images! :)
Thank you for the beautiful summer photos that make the winter here a little brighter.

Thank you Karen again for the beautiful, warm pictures. We really live at the other side of the globe, come and check photos from icy cold Finland =)
That meringue tower looks good. Love your frangipani photos.
How cute are those farm animals. Beautiful frangipanis. The geranium is such a vivid colour and such a lovely zinnia. The merangues look too good to eat! I'm glad you don't have flood warnings this year but the days sure are warm.
Oh how I long for summer!!!
These flowers are beautiful, Karen, and I just love the meringue tree. I'll bet it was yummy!
So nice to see your lovely summer pictures!
I really am enjoying all your flower shots. So nice to see at this time of year. That meringue tree looks yummy. It is so weird hearing you talk about the heat when its so cold here. I do hope you are enjoying your week my friend.
Hugs~
