No more soap sales + being copied

I have discontinued soap sales, at least temporarily. I have had a lot of fun over 18 years making soap and meeting so many other interesting people. Thank you everyone .
Maybe I will get back to it again later, but meanwhile I will be making only for personal use and gifting..

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
