A beach

A beach at Kurrawa Park, Gold Coast, Australia.
I can’t help but notice the colours of spring in the sunshine.

This is a Kookaburra bird seen at Montville, a quaint little town up in the Glass House Mountains, Queensland, Australia. I am told that this bird is now rarely seen so we were lucky especially when it sat there posing in front of our cameras. It seems to love the limelight.

Gingko trees

The recent photo show of fall colours got me digging into my albums and I retrieved this photo of a quiet street in Kyoto, Japan. I found these Gingko trees striking.

Pink Frangipanni

The frangipanni is very common over here and has many different colours. This pink one was spotted on Keppel Island, Singapore.

Downcast

Waiting by the river where we said goodbye – downcast

Baobab trees

Inside the Flower Dome at the Gardens by the Bay are these Baobab trees which are also known as Bottle trees. They occur in arid areas and store water in the swollen trunks to endure the harsh drought conditions. They also shed their leaves during the dry season to reduce water loss.
