Spring has sprung… 

The temperatures started getting warmer in October and now heading into the 30s. I asked Alex, my friend living in Perth, “where can I go to see wildflowers?” She responded with a giggle, “It’s all around you” And she was right. There is an abundance of wild flowers here which we are not allowed to pick, unless you are Aboriginal. I work with an Aboriginal liaison at my school and she enjoys walking through the bush to collect flowers to make the most beautiful bouquets. 

Here I am playing with different options on my camera. Enjoy my collection of wildflowers starting in September and onwards… 

With warmer temperatures, it means we can start going to the beach. We spent a day out on the boat with some friends on Swan River. 

Finally, spring also means high pollen count. I normally suffer from hay fever at home, here my symptoms are heightened on high days but on extreme days, it’s a whole new level I have never experienced before. Bring on the antihistamines + decongestants, which I have to purchase with government issued identification here. Supposedly people use it to make illegal drugs.
