Australia Calling - It's Spring

Hi Shelagh,

I'm not sure where August went.  It was pretty cold, wet and miserable here in Melbourne and I think I just kept my head down and bunkered down.

Recently, it was the Hurstbridge (a small town near us) Wattle Festival.  The wattle is a glorious native and the bush around Hurstbridge is full of this flowering beauty during late winter/early spring:

Some knitters yarn bombed this year's festival:

Doesn't their installation catch the wonderful brightness of the wattle (well worth clicking on to enbiggen)?  And a close up:

We also enjoy another of their master creations in Hurstbridge (again click on to enbiggen):

I think we are very lucky to have these.  I drive past them everyday on my way to work.  They always make me smile.

How goes early autumn for you?
