OUR WORLD & Nature Notes - A Different Perspective

Last week I went to visit a dear friend in Waikerie 

on the Murray River.

I took the upper road along the river, with views of the swollen

river on one side and dry-land farming on the other.

It is a hundred mile trip one way so I stopped to stretch my legs

and met this sweet little stunted succulent plant with the prettiest

little flowers.

The last ten miles were through citrus groves and the air was 

drenched with the heady, heavy scent of blossom.

I rolled down all the windows and became saturated  and almost

overpowered by the pervading perfume.

At my friend's orchard the oranges were heavy with fruit and

covered in blossom.

Her little dog Muffy came along everywhere we went

and as soon as they were let out, the Guinea Fowl made a sprint

for the orchards

Orchids in the shade-house as we headed back for a cup of tea.

Laden with fruit and tired from the 200 mile drive in one day,

I got home to my very different farm well after dark, 

a very happy bunny indeed.
