Life has certainly changed over the last few weeks, but the calm and peace of the garden is comforting. Nature continues to spring to life: seedlings growing, flowers blooming and bees buzzing.

Springtime. Blossoms bloom and bees buzz. This scene reminds me that we are all looking for a little nectar of our own.
And the garden is the perfect place to take a break. Relax. Be absorbed in the moment. In each bloom.

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.

Nature often reminds us that we all have our time to bloom. And sometimes, being accompanied makes our bloom ever better.

Just like this blossom, we all have our time to bloom. It just has to be the right season.

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.

The reddish/orange wattle arches in the foreground. The yellow wattle stands taller in the background. A little red grevillea between the two. Such inspiration can be found, even in this tiny patch of the world that’s my front garden.

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.

Striking pink petals, with a patch of redish-pink dots, lit up in autumn sunshine.
(This azalea is right near my front door, and I must have walked by tons of times without even noticing it.)
Oh for a little sunshine, and the slowness and spaciousness in which to enjoy it.

How can a flower which is so intricate and so delicate stand up to whipping winds and heavy rain? Strength, it seems, is not always where we most expect to find it.
How wonderful to be out in the garden — if not with hands in soil, then at least observing, taking in delights of nature.
