Lens-Artists Challenge: Spring
Spring. Well that was a few months ago now here. Now approaching Autumn, I say approaching as Summer is still hanging around with day time temperatures in the mid to high 30C’s
So it’s into the folders and find a few Spring photos which I hope you enjoy
The first buds of a Hippeastrum
A Stingless Native Bee and a European Bee discussing the qualities of a peach blossom
Here comes Mum with some more snacks for three hungry mouths
The Frangipannis buds just starting to unfold
What can be cuter than a little fluff ball chicken
The Hibiscus had lots of buds as Spring was a wet one last year
Lots of calves in the paddocks around the place
Fresh leaves appearing on the Eucalypts
New fur and almost ready to hop out of the pouch
Well it is spring

Boing! Boing! The Joey and the chick are irresistible, Brian, but how come you have European bees in Australia? It’s a long way to fly!

Thanks Jo. I don’t know what else to call them other than European Bees. They are in the top seven honey bee species. I reckon they came by boat with the First Fleet
