Walks and Gardens
We aren't able to visit the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens this week. Instead we have looked around our own neighbourhoods and favourite walking places for pictures of gardens, especially those with autumn colours, to brighten our day.
Here are some from through the RTBG fence.
Sometimes it pays to look up to find a garden!
Bubbles has a bit of autumn colour in her garden.
Jo Bennicke took photos of her garden and also one across the road which will disappear under redevelopment..
Margaret's garden is looking spectacular with Banksias and Proteas.
Stewart went past this native garden with a Hakea in flower and some Diplarrena (native iris)
Sylvia enjoyed being out in the fresh air.

Tas was out and about in Howden (nice composition Tas :))
Amidst all the lockdown, nature is carrying on as usual in Bob's garden as this rose bud is about to open.
Tom and Donna walked from Bullock Drive to Pickett's Hill and back, with lunch bought from the bakery and eaten at the summit of Pickett's Hill.

"Some photos of our front garden showing some Autumn colours plus one of our Crab Apple trees. If anyone wants some Crab Apples, bring your own bag. You can only make so much Crab Apple jelly!"
