Bird of Paradise

I am a bit late posting today because I have been out with friends for our regular girlie lunch.

The weather has been beautiful this week for late autumn, but it is getting a bit chilly at night now.

Thanks for putting yesterday's emu on the TP and PP. I love emus. Sorry I haven't replied to the photo but not had chance with being out most of the day.

A couple of days ago I walked down to the beach and marina and took photos along the way, so I will post photos of my walk over the next few days.

The bird of paradise flowers are still blooming as I walked along the path to the beach and marina.

The ones in our garden are blooming quite well at the moment too.
