[WS] One Colorful Shrub

Filed under Australia, Vacation Trips.

Ashby’s Banksia

This is just one among the many species of shrubs found at Kings Park in Western Australia. I like the sharpness of its orange color and it’s shape reminds me so much of an ice lolly. ::wink:: The park is so huge that an afternoon was not enough to cover its entirety and for us to be able to absorb all its beauty.

The upcoming photo series on this blog will be filled with our snaps from Perth. Have a good week!

More from the other weekend snapshot participants!

    PS Christine I forgot to answer your question about whether the bowls are used. I have a lot of them that I inherited and used to use them but they are very old and I’m afraid to use them at this point.
