Simple Pleasures~ My street today

Looking down my street today..
 I see the welcome colours of the new season softly skirting our mountain.

All along the footpath..
 Golden Wattle and ornamental fruit trees have suddenly burst into flower!
Across the neighbourhood..
delicate pink and white blossoms span blue sky while basking in the warm sun.

In my front yard..
 daffodils and blue star flowers are re-forming a coronet around the old clay birdbath.
The scarlet Ornamental Quince is shining bright and lush behind my letterbox.

Lovely Spring.. welcome Spring.. is here at last.
Thanks be to God!
