Sydney doesn't really do autumn.
I do miss the display of red, yellow, purple and orange that heralds a country autumn.
But I do not miss the cold and frosty walks to work in the morning that make this possible. And I do not miss coming home to a cold, dark house that only just warms as you go to bed with your electric blanket and bed socks!
Below I've included a few pics I took on my walks around Sydney this week - the lovely flowers still blooming with such glorious days and sunsets (and one gratuitous shot of Sydney Harbour!)

Autumn also means the beginning of the soccer season for us. At this time of the year, there is nothing nicer than standing on the sideline cheering on the boys.
Saturday

Wonderful shots. I especially like the flower with the bee. I tried to catch a large bee flying last weekend but couldn't get him in the shot.
ReplyDeleteI like the crispness of your shots. Mine are so fuzzy today going through a window screen. :-(
Your flower shots are lovely, but my favourite is the bridge and boats. There is something magical about the quality of light on the boats, and the menacing dark cloud in the background.
ReplyDeleteThe storm never materialised, but the clouds made for an amazing sunset that evening as I was going home on the ferry.
DeleteLovely photos...I feel like I took that walk with you. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Sydney is one of my favourite places in the world so gratuitous harbour shots are always welcome. She doesn't do autumn though. We do autumn up in the Tablelands of course- but I managed to escape the cold this week, and just spent a lovely, and warm, week up in Newcastle- enjoying your glorious autumn days.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. The boats and bridge is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the flower and I loved the picture of the Sydney harbor!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I really like the one of the tugboats!
ReplyDelete:-) Those 'tugboats' are the iconic Sydney ferries. I caught one of those home a few minutes after taking the photo!
DeleteExcellent photography. Love the foliage, the roses, waterscape and is that last one a soccer match? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, both my step-sons play elite soccer. Our lives are spent ferrying them around between training sessions and games - I think I know every single football field intimately in the greater Sydney region!!
DeleteGorgeous pictures! I love the one of the flower with the bee, and the light in the one of the boats, so pretty. Here’s my Saturday snapshot post.

I love the boats and bridge photo - stunning! I know I'm being silly, but I've always imagined Australia as somewhere that is perpetually warm. It's hard for me to think of it having winter and frosts. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I particularly love pictures of flowers and the shot with the bee is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHere is my SATURDAY SNAPSHOT post.
Beautiful photos! The plants and trees are spectacular! You'll find my photos here

Australia is in my bucket list. I love Aussie authors, your fierce landscapes, serene and sometimes violent seascapes, and of course, your accent. ;) Lovely, lovely snapshots!
ReplyDeleteYou just mentioned some of the things I love about Australia too - except we don't have accents - you guys do!!!!
DeleteBeautiful photos. Thanks for sharing.
