Hints of Winter

When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.
~B. Cybrill


Almost bare twigs against dull dark skies...





Greening of the Adelaide Hills which remain so brown and dry throughout summer...

The green and gold carpet covering once dirty brown paths...


Lichen-covered tree trunks...

Warm woollen jumpers, little legs clad in warm tights, and my little hooded popkin...


New season oranges, direct from the tree, a little earlier than last year.

Very chilly air, was Ess' contribution, as we discussed this topic as a family.  With temperatures ranging from 6°C min to 13.9°C max on this day, this is very true.

All serving to remind us that winter is just around the corner...

See you then.

It's hard for us northern hemisphere inhabitants to think of June, July and August as winter months! That's why I love blogging. It has opened up my eyes to a whole new sphere out there! :-)

Oh, that pic of Ess & Eee together is SO cute :)

David, that walk home was just so slow, so sweet and so adorable. Ess was so good with Eee and guided her tenderly.
