Published on by bushboy9 Comments

Blue Ginger

Inspired by last weeks Mundane Monday Challenge I took this photo yesterday for this weeks Mundane Monday Challenge #133

The Blue Ginger has always held a fascination whether it id a bee or spider on the flower or just the majesty of the tall brilliant blue flower scattered throughout the garden. This is a different view of a Blue Ginger flower, before the many small flowers open.

Jacaranda

It would be very remiss of me not to have a Jacaranda in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The letter J

You see, the city closest to where I live, Grafton, has the oldest floral festival in Australia, the Jacaranda Festival which begins tomorrow. Grafton has many Asian tourists at the moment coming to see the spectacular Jacaranda trees which line many streets and are in nearly every park in town. It is a fun time especially next Thursday when lots of the shops dress up and put on a show to entertain the tourists and locals. The streets are paved with purple and I even saw a Japanese tourist making a Jacaranda “snow” angel in one of the parks.

Who is Jacky Winter I hear you say. Jacky Winter likes to sing his little heart out from the tops of trees where he can see all around but also enjoys sitting on the fence.

Jacky Winter is my entry in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: the Letter J in a word.

Here is Jacky Winter singing for you from Graeme Chapmans birds songs
