some photos by my son

These were taken a few months ago down south near the Snowy Mountains

Holts Flat railway siding from days past

Lillian Frazer Garden

yesterday a few of us gathered there to learn something of the history of the garden and the woman.

none of us took a camera.... so today i went back to do a few photos.

Unfortunately i choose high noon, which made it hard for my poor olde camera, and has made
 too many shots too  light.It was a very very sunny day.
 sadly i am not clever enough to rearrange that bad lighting, so i will simply put the pics
 up as a memory to a lovely suburban garden, a pleasant day out
 and an interesting woman ...Lillian Frazer, whose garden is only a few blocks from mine
double click the photos to enlarge.
seeing as i dont know the names of most of the plants....i have left them unnamed.!!

a so called pom pom tree.....which obviously fascinates me!!

a lady working in the garden took me aside to show me this plant. she does not know its name.

she says it is rare in australia. it has a star shaped leaf and a star shaped flower.
