We have turned the corner of the winter solstice and the bush is waking up, everyday reveals more and more native plants in bloom. Early spring is supposed to be the time here for wildflowers display, but already with every bush walk we discover new wonders, specially the local floral emblem, the Royal Hakea.
Bird life is also very rich from tiny wrens to emus, with everything in between, parrots, cockatoos, pelicans. There is one type of fauna with which we have been having rather too close and personal contact with : snakes. We know they are mostly shy, but it is unnerving watching them slither off the path, just a few centimeters from our feet. It's no good telling us they are more scared of us than we are of them, THEY are the ones with the fangs and venom, not us.
Stunning pictures!
