The Last Day of Winter

Today is the last day of winter in Australia and hopefully it will start to get warm again now.

Luckily even in winter we don't have cold days every day, but today has been quite chilly and this afternoon it has even rained for only the second time this month.

When I saw these sad geraniums it really made me think of winter so I thought it would be a good photo for today.

Oh dear last day of summer here but your winter looks as good as our usual summer! Different this year of course & I love every season so happy to move on. Wonderful detail here Babs.

[Peter]

Lovely detail colour and composition Babs you will soon be able to put away those winter cloths, at the same time I'll be putting away my shorts and Tshirts, lol:)

What a hairy flowers, Winter made them old with their white hairs.

I couldn’t believe today, wetter and colder than it’s been all winter

Gorgeous colour! It has been wonderful missing the last two months of winter!

great shot and colours. Pity they have withered.

[ChristineL]

Always good to get to the end of winter, even if the weather isn't behaving!

[Lou Ann]

A sweet capture. We are looking forward to cooler weather here, as you are looking forward to warmer weather!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A wonderful capture and colour , and a little bit sad seeing the flowers dying !

[Nova]

Another season change for you Babs, as summer is winding down here, but I'd take your winter over mine any day. :)

[haskar]

Great close up. Lovely shot. Last day of winter? Well, wake up!

[Ethel]

Fitting for end of winter. I like how aspects of beauty are exposed in the dying of the flower.

[Ulrika]

You made my day... I did not realise it was the last day of winter but these flowers truly represent the day I had.... Got drenched at work in a downpour. 😂

[Catherine P]

Excellent macro shot

[Henri Russell]

Great photo for the end of your winter. It's the end of our summer, so we are hoping it will start cooking a little. If course, September is really mostly a continuation of our summer, just not triple digets, so we will take it. I love the changing seasons.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Beautiful colors and details. Wow, you coming out of winter and we will be going into fall.

Fingers crossed you get a nice showery Spring to replenish that water table and then a lovely warm Summer, eh?

@dizzyd @happypat @pcoulson @yaorenliu @kjarn @tonygig @susie1205 @sangwann @inthecloud5 @louannwarren @beryl @novab @haskar @ethelperry @ulla @cmp @jodies @henrir @mittens @dh @casablanca @sarahlth @fbailey @carolmw @craftymeg @jesperani @suzanne234 @seattlite @carole_sandford @elisasaeter @pyrrhula @loweygrace So sorry for the group reply, but we are out for lunch at a friends house today. Forecast says 20 degrees C, a good start to the beginning of Spring. I do hope we get some Spring rain though because during August, our last month of winter, we only had 12 mm rain for the whole month according to our rain gauge. We could be in for a really bad bushfire season if we don't get some decent rain soon.

[Taffy]

While here we are sad to see the last day of summer holidays arriving far too quickly.

[Marnie]

Lovely shot Babs, great details. First day of spring today and we got soaked on the golf course from some dirty black clouds that blew in from Bass Strait.

[Babs]

@taffy It has been a lovely day here today for the first day of spring.

@golftragic What a shame Marnie, we could do with some rain here though. Checked our rain gauge and we have only had 12 mm rain in the whole of August.
It has been a beautiful day today and we have been out for lunch at a friends house. We all sat outside on the patio in glorious weather.

[Sue Cooper]

A very appropriate post for the last day of winter. Sadly it’s the last day of summer here but it’s been a good one.

[Marnie]

@onewing Just one of those (not)lovely surprises we get straight off Bass Strait. I don't think Geelong got it, but we sure did. Finished up abandoning our game and settling in for coffee and goss.

[Angela]

We too are leaving our summer behind. Lovely colours and textures

[sarah]

Great detail and story

[Jane Morley]

Great shot! Fav 'cos it's really unusual . ( still really hot and so humid here)

[CC Folk]

Very cool capture!
