  8. These are beautiful photos, Carole!
    My favorites are the second one and the path leading to the ocean. I love seeing all the different plants and animals you have in Australia.

  10. I think I may have only seen a banksia after it was finished blooming and dried up. They are pretty fabulous looking then too though! Do they come in different colors or always yellow? I was expecting red for some reason, but may have mixed up with another plant. Lovely as always!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
