Friday flowers...sort of

I just had to start with this photo of the sunrise I took just a few minutes ago. How beautiful and no, I did not intensify the colour, that's how bright it was. Of course it's gone now, dissolved into a pale yellow and blue.

Well, on to Friday Flowers...sort of...

Okay, so not exactly flowers, but who's making the rules here?

I missed autumn this year on my blog but I did take these pics outside work the other day when it was still autumn.

What unusual fruit, or are they seed pods on this plane tree.

Very sculptural.

Can you believe it's winter already? In Hobart it has been chilly but lovely and clear. Are you all keeping warm? (Hi to those of you moving into summer).

I have to say I don't mind winter - I enjoy seeing the contrasts of all the seasons. It would be a bit boring for me if the weather was the same all the time. No risk of that in Tasmania!!

Happy Friday to you all :)

Our big Christmas tree

After not having room for a tree for the past 7 Christmases (apartment living) we purchased a nice big one this year to make up for it.

It's huge! Four hundred lights and a bunch of new, old, borrowed and hand made decoarations later...here's our tree.

It fits in the room beautifully and I fear there will be a huge void when we have to take it down. I have really enjoyed decorating this year. Just a bit of Christmas cooking to do and I am all ready to relax and hang out with family on Christmas Day. Molly is itching to open presents, she keeps checking the tree for Molly pressies.

Is everyone else organised?
