Flowers, Insects and Nodding Top

In the Home

What a blessing it is to be able to go into one's garden and pick a bunch of fresh flowers. These flowers are on their way to one of my lovely daughters who is now holding her new-born in her arms.


In the Garden

Today it has been fun photographing some small creatures who, like me, enjoy the garden!

In the Bushland

Imagine my delight at seeing a healthy Nodding Top growing at my feet in the bush today as I went for a stroll. 
I thought of the Aboriginal people eating the leaves of this plant, either cooked or raw, so I picked a few leaves to take home, wash,  and pop in our evening soup. 

A few months ago, I wrote a blog on Nodding Top.

May our world fill us with wonder!
