jacarandas and gum trees ....and some feral flowers

 very bad pics of next doors flame tree. divine colour also

thejacarandas  have been a fabulous darker colour this year and yesterday i finally made it to get a few photos before all the flowers fell.

something is sadly wrong with my camera and i also was too tired from the lingering effects of pneumonia to be bothered to get out of the car  and take close ups........so most photos are not so wonderful. they do, however, have the fabulous colour .

some of the jacarandas are from Pennant Hills and a few are from

my new Westleigh neighbourhood.

the gum trees are all from the top end of *the loop* at Westleigh, looking north .

MY jacaranda....a poor sadly thing

another grevillia out the front....not mine but mixed into my garden from next door 

across the road from me 

Pennant Hillls

  an unknown plant growing at the back of my car port

 a couple of roses that i am trying to feed up and get flowering again

these trees, and the valley, are down the end of the road
about half a mile away, looking out over miles of gums.

a very long distance shot over the valley.
my poor camera struggles
