Trip to the Cameron Highlands

Beautiful Hibiscus blooms. 

Boh Tea Plantation

 Spa time - that's a chrysanthemum tea bath, bottom right!

Exotic Butterflies

Wild life (check out the toads centre left!)

 Strawberries and tomatoes and things just for fun!

In my garden

My garden is full of pinkness!

I put together these montages with Big Huge Labs Mosaic Maker.

Yellowness coming soon!

Flora and Fauna

I visited my neighbour Diana yesterday and took some pics in her garden. Though not the clearest of photos - bit of camera shake going on there - I think you can proabably see what this beautiful plant is is well enough.

Did you identify it? It's a pineapple flower!

And this is Diana's cat, Mr Tumnus, getting his exercise on the trampoline !

Apoligies again to my blogging friends for not visiting much - I've had my daughter Julie staying for a while and haven't had much time for blogging! Hopefully, I'll get around to you all soon again. Also, I am beginning to get back into the studio, so I hope I will have more arty stuff to share soon!

This 'n that

I've had a bit of artist's block recently and haven't been in my studio much. Today I spent some time sorting through zillions of photos I've taken of the area surrounding our house !

The rain forest on my doorstep.

Our house in the distance



This little chap is what we call a Scrat - a cross between a squirrel and a rat! Love that bottlebrush tail!
