Summer and Winter

One week into winter and after lots of rain our hibiscus are looking very forlorn.

Such a difference between the summer shot taken a few months ago and the winter photo.

Wow, what a difference. It's supposed to be warming again next week.

[Maggiemae]

One is happy and dare I say, gay sight.. and the other is a sad and forgetful picture.

[Dione Giorgio]

What a difference a few days make. Great diptych.

[Sue Cooper]

Our weather isn’t much better than yours and it’s supposed to be summer here.

[Sharon Lee]

Nice juxtaposition

[Valerie Chesney]

Great contrast......the rain has just arrived on the sunny coast today & the week end/

[Diana]

same procedure as every year 😊

[Casablanca]

The cycle of life (as opposed to the circle of life when you have to hold a lion cub over your head and sing!)

[Merrelyn]

Winter has finally hit here too. Rain has been forecast for the next week along with maximums of 15 - 19.

A super shot to reflect the changing seasons.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a lovely diptych of comparison

[Jacqueline]

Love the way you put both stages in this dyptich.

[Pat Knowles]

Still beautiful at every stage Babs!

[Ann Williams]

It must have put on a show during the summer. Look forward to next year now.

[Sue Rose]

Such a shame that winter has to come! Good comparison shots though.

[Carole Sandford]

Great comparison! Wet & cold here to at the moment.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shots to show the circle of flower life.

[Babs]

@kjarn Yes I heard that too, the good thing about Australia is that even in winter it isn't winter EVERY day.

@maggiemae Yes you are allowed to say gay. I am old enough to know what gay meant in the 'olden days'

The sky looks rather heavy so maybe more rain on the way.

@merrelyn Glad you have got some rain, I believe it has been rather dry on your side of the country.

@busylady Actually the first photo was taken in April so in reality it was autumn not summer. ha ha. Only a couple of months between the shots.

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful contrasts

[Marnie]

Lovely contrasted pair Babs.

[Rob Z]

Such a difference - shown so well.

[haskar]
