Room for more photos...

From the time that Richard bought his camera early last year, he has for some reason been loathe to clear photos from the camera even after they've been downloaded to the computer. Consequently, he would often have to delete a few to make room for others, usually while I stand around impatiently waiting for him to get on with it.

Since he doesn't know how to put them on the computer, I would usually nag him after each download to "Get rid of the thousands of photos on the card", but all to no avail. Until yesterday when he said I could clear the card entirely. Before he could change his mind I wiped the lot.

He picked up the camera. Perhaps it felt 'lighter'....lol, or maybe it was just the thrill of knowing he could happily snap away for a few thousand more photos, but he went for a stroll around the garden just to see what he could see.....and this is what he saw!

Every year we take countless photos of this cherry tree because we never tire of the masses of the beautiful blossom - and the anticipation of delicious cherries in a couple of months.

Cercis Forest Pansy, with Petosporum behind.

Ranunculus.

Calendula. I love the symmetry of their petals.

Japanese Maple

Anyone for Broad Beans? If all the flowers become beans I think we'll become a strange shade of green.

Pear blossom.

Very hardy Marguerites.

Violas.

Lavender

Bluebells.

Gazanias.

A rather pretty tulip, neither quite double nor single.

'Shay's' tulips.

Banksia.

Californian poppies.

Tulips.

I wish you could hear the bees in the cherry blossom.

Our one Rhododendron for many years, but we bought 5 more this year.

This is the view through the loungeroom window.

More C.poppies.

Erimophola nivea.

Photinia.

I thought I pulled out about a tonne of these, but they keep coming up.
