Just Visiting

Let me share snaps of some of the visitors I found in the garden today.

Golden Orb Weaver

Amongst the coriander seed pods

Hover Fly

And then I went visiting, having a quick look at another aged care centre, this one is in our own town. I have arranged for my parents-in-love to come and have a tour in about 10 days time, I think it may be what they are looking for.

It was very pleasant and is one of the very few centres in our area which is able to accommodate the differing levels of care required by each.

A brief garden stroll is the perfect way for me to begin and end each day. With summer fast approaching there seems to be an increase in garden activity of all kinds.

Many thanks for all your wonderful comments on Master J's photos and also my recent posts. I seem to have little time to blog reading at the moment as family requirements are quite high......

Thanks for dropping by,
Karen

PS All photos taken with my trusty old Lumix. I used my Raynox attachment for the two ladybug photos.

Morning and Evening

In this morning's early light the flowers open so fresh and new. Above is a paw paw flower, below an everlasting or straw daisy beginning to open again.

    

Miss E busy creating "people and aliens".

Miss N assisting Miss E to collect today's mail.

Miss E delights in  "reading" the mail to me.

More of today's garden treasures.

Returning from last night's walk the almost-full-moon came through between the clouds.

I trust you can find some beauty each morning and evening too......

Science at the Park

St Andrew's Cross Spider

Remember what arthropods are? We have been studying them in our science this week, so what better way to do so than a quick trip or two to a local park. Armed with cameras and eager eyes, we set off.

Red Dragonfly

Golden Orb Web Spider

Praying Mantis

Of greater interest to the children.....feeding the ducks....

Admiring the water.....

And searching for tadpoles, little fish and water insects with home made nets.

But their eternal favourite is.......having leaf-boat races down the water cascades!
My guess is they will ask to go back to the park again tomorrow for further "research" instead of working on their written projects!
