Nearly spring
It's nearly spring and some of the wildflowers are doing their thing. We were not towing the van so I could ask the driver to stop to let me take closer look. I was surprised to find the fields of white flowers were paper daisies.
I find it amusing that when it's nearly spring you already have flowers blooming. We don't have flowers here north of Toronto until well into spring. ;)) The fields looks so pretty dressed in white and yellow.
yes our climate is very different from yours. In Australia Spring starts from the 1 st of the month not the 20th or thereabouts. And we have lots of flowers appearing before that. These were actually taken when there was still severa Breeks of winter to go.
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
Just beautiful. Where are we?

Even during August we were getting the odd day or so up in the 20s. Enough to encourage red-blooded plants.
