Spring in Western Australia brings back the spectacular bird, the Rainbow Bee Eater. The rainbow bee eaters go north in the cold months, but return when it warms to our Perth region in Western Australia. From Birdlife: Rainbow Bee-eaters gather in small flocks before returning to summer breeding areas after...
in Perth, the start of spring 2016 has been declared the most cold and wet in decades. This kind of spring weather has made our outings hard to plan, and has us watching radar maps a lot as we travel. One of our first stops today was Lake Ninan near...
We learned from the Orchid Group that there were rabbit orchids in the burned area in Johnston Rd. Last summer when I was here, Johnston Road and the area of Yarloop made the news. There was a devastating fire that damaged the bush, homes, everything. It was a huge tragedy,...
In Australia, they refer to the first day of September as the first day of spring. Kinda hard to get my head around, but I just think they’re being over optimistic sometimes. 🙂 But perhaps spring was indeed in the air as we’ve been quiet around here for days and...
Even though we were told it would happen, it happened way too fast. The next day we gathered again. (You can hear the message HERE ) Mom really disliked winter, she loved spring, and the hope in beginnings it represented. It made me so sad at first to think that...
Sping in Western Australia means a lot of wildflowers. So we went to the Wildflower show in Busselton. Here are a few of the photos that turned out from our visit:

Today the good weather took Laura and I to the B&A Trail. It seems like forever that we had been there. The trail has about an 8-foot wide paved surface and is in good condition. The total length is 13 miles between Annapolis and Glen Burnie, MD. Once you reach...
With the nice change of weather in the upper 50’s, Laura and I decided to go to Kinder Park. The fact that it is technically still winter was still there, with snow from our last blizzards still in scattered places around the park… Because of the winter, not much was...
John wanted to revisit the Zoo in D.C. Since it was a day when Laura babysits Cameron, we took him and Laura too! It took two tries to get in, but we finally made it. (D.C. itself is a zoo to drive and park in!) It was a chilly, rainy...
Spring is always special. Colors appear where before was dull and brown, but with a child like Cameron, spring is extra sweet. Today the woman he as come to know and love as Yaya, took him for a walk, and helped him pick a daffodil and some forsythia. I made...
I had a conversation of my own with Grit (of Brit and Grit ) and became immediately curious as to the views outside his window, which he was nice enough to supply . However, I was told I need to return the favor. Here are two views when all...
