Just off the road

Today Mum and I went to a local town to shop for groceries and had a little nosh up at the local cafe.  We had our healthy stuff followed by the unhealthy stuff, profiteroles. YUM.

Looking just a bit too satisfied I think.  All photos taken on my phone.

When we were not too far from home we stopped to look at some Wattle growing along side the road.  Just opposite the farm is a patch of virgin bush which often has wild flowers growing in spring. 

 

 We also saw this flowering prickly plant which I haven't identified.  It was the bright red colour that caught my eye from a distance, the tubular flowers are quite lovely.

Further along I also spied some Donkey Orchids.  These photos aren't particularly good but I'll be going back for a walk soon with my camera to get some better shots.

These pretty blue flowers were growing on the road edge.

I'm hoping my bush walking/exploring might give me an opportunity to take some nice photos of the flora in the area.  I'm certainly enjoying the sights and sounds of rural Western Australia again. There is a full moon tonight and the magpies have been singing their little hearts out.  Just beautiful.
