Gardens are great, but it’s hard to beat a hike in the bush. There’s something about those tall tress and even the xanthorrhoeas. They are magical. Tramping through this bush is wonderful. Everything else, from city living, just seems to fade away.
This photo was taken at MtFrankland, in Western Australia.

It was on a recent walk in the Grampians that we spotted these beautiful native orchids in flower. So delicate and so delightful. Sometimes it really does pay to slow down.

Blue sky, bright warm sunshine, and buzzing bees. The start of spring puts such a spring in our steps — at least this time of year in the southern hemisphere.

What natural beauty. How calming for the soul, in these torrid times, to be out in nature — even if it’s in my own garden!
Time for some collective calmness, particularly between countries.

Taking a five-minute break out in the garden can be so refreshing — especially for those of us who work for home.
Michele comments, ‘The wattle birds are not the only species who enjoy being around grevilleas. So do I. This one pictured is often in bloom, colourful, and provides food and shelter for native birds.’
Michele Gierck is a writer, who loves nature. She says the garden has become a special place full of daily delights.

B is for bee, and for beautiful. There’s joy to be had from simple moments in nature — like watching bees in a bush of rosemary as the autumn sun shines. Another beautiful relaxing day; a day off from writing.

Bees are so inspiring: the amazing work they do, and even their capacity to hang upside down to get the job done. Without the bees, where would be be?
