I discovered a nest inside this bush, then saw this beady eye
peering out at me...she didn't budge an inch.
It has been a cold & wet spring for her to nest in.

Cyclamen

Cheeky & handsome (I have to say that to keep him happy) Mr Troll.
His home is in a wheelbarrow, at the top of my garden,
where he guards the place from intruders.
He has a solar night light near him which makes him an interesting,
if not creepy, night feature.

Old & wise, Mrs Owl, sits on a log near my studio.

Sweet little elf, chillaxing.

Gargoyle on sundial.

Mr Happy

Snow in Deloraine August 3, 2015.

Always happy, even when covered in snow. Brrrrrrrr!!!

Mr Sad

Oh dear, what a face!

Gargoyle

Mini cyclamen in a fern tree trunk.

If the Coddling moth don't ruin the apples, the birds will!

August 31, 2014.

This photo was taken on the last day of Winter.
The flowers bloom when it is still very cold,
it is such a pretty and welcoming sight.

'Blue Pacific' bush, which attracts hundreds of bees in the spring.

Metal Art bird feeder, which I commissioned a metal art sculptor to make,
using a plough disc that my farmer friend Greg gave to me.
The discs come all the way from Mukinbudin in Western Australia.
(I have another two Metal Art sculptures, using more of the plough discs...
see one under MORE/My Tasmanian Art Studio.)

Next to the bird feeder is some Farm Machinery
which I also brought with me from WA.

The little terracotta hut in the foreground, says...
SNAIL BAIT, ENTER AT OWN RISK.

This photo was taken in 2014 and the garden bed shown is twice the size now. I haven't planted anything more here...in Tasmania flowers just appear. Birds and the wind carry the seeds, dormant bulbs, self seeding plants etc.

Blue Pacific bush

Apple blossom

Lavender

I removed all of my lavender bushes as they had become very old.
They self-seeded and a year later I have fresh new lavender
popping up everywhere.
