These poppies are like huge tissue paper balls on a plate! This plant had 11 blooms on it at one point

Does anyone know what the name of this tree is? It is a variety of cherry…………….. I think from Australia originally. It has these fluffy blooms at this time of year and bunches of small inediable black fruit later.

Here is the latest page from my online course with Donna Downey. For this one we were asked to use watersoluble crayons or pastels etc. and to moisten them with white acrylic paint. This enabled blending and made the surface more permanent.

As I was taking these shots I looked out of the window at the front garden and saw that the light was lovely. This was taken through the window glass.

A WALK AROUND MY GARDEN

It was a lovely day here yesterday so I thought I would see how the plants were doing.  This weather has made everything flower so well this year hasn’t it?  I haven’t even had to water the pots much  so far either.

Does anyone know what the pretty little pink flower in the bottom left phto is please? Click on the collage to enlarge as usual.

I have decided to start my Blog again as the old one was so out of date. My intention is not necessarily to publish every day but only when I have something to share. My photographs, places I have been, classes I have attended and such.

Enjoy! 🙂
