Phil and his smoker /barbecue ...Pete and I had another fabulous night with our next door neighbours and their friends...it's a brisket on the smoker, fabulous flavour.

 

The moon lit up the sky tonight...

 

We were waiting on the 1st tee for this family of ducks to cross the fairway...15 babies!

Bright red bottlebrushes are flowering all over Perth...they look stunning on the golf course.

Such a glorious day in Perth today...34 degrees...I stopped at Mosman Park to see the river on my way to Pam's to play Mahjong.

Returning to Perth...having fun taking photos with my new phone...

Forrest highway (and that is the correct spelling)...both sides of the road were covered with wattles in flower...

I'm pretty impressed with this phone's camera...we were travelling at 100 km/hr.

 

Morning play in the sunshine...

Margaret River foot bridge...we took a bucketful of gum nuts to throw in the water...Flynn and Ethan could do it for hours...

Look no hands!!

"me too"....Pete was impressed! 

...such good buddies...

"Ready, one, two"...Flynn is saying....

Clouds ....

Tash and Todd have so many plants flowering on their block...

These are only a few....

Todd and Ethan watching Will run around the oval and being sprayed with coloured water. It's the last day of school.

Before leaving Cowaramup Pete and I went for a walk in Cowaramup Pioneer Park....

Cute little church, still being used.

...wonderful  scenery on the way to Dunsborough....

Our last night down south...at Mandy and Graeme's....they are minding this cute little dog..Teddy.

A delicious meal cooked by Graeme ...an enjoyable evening.

 

Spent the day with Mandy and Graeme ...Todd wanted to spend his birthday with his boys. Pete and I went for a walk along the Dunsborough foreshore this morning.

Tide was way out...nice to see such a sunny day.

Mandy, Pete and I visited three of the open studios...my favourite paintings were those of Carmen McFaull.

This is one of her paintings that I took from her website....I loved so many of them.

Thinking!

Such a pretty plant on Mandy's outdoor table...

A walk in Big Rock Reserve...stunning views of the bay...

Watching the whales at Pt Picquet...

....beautiful coastline.

...and wildflowers...the icing on the cake.

 

A big surprise this morning....Will's experiment was successful...food colouring gives white flowers colour.

Another special day to celebrate the school's 100 years anniversary....today they had to dress up as old people...this is Polly, Max and Will...who all walked together to school. Don't they looks great?!

 

Duplo is such an amazing toy...and almost indestructible ...

Snack and Bob the Builder....

And at the other end of the couch is Flynn..

A quick photo of Will and Grandad before school...

A bit cool and wet outside but a good day to do some puzzles....

Dinosaurs for Ethan and diggers for Flynn...

Having lunch with Bunny...

I took Rusty for a walk through the bush behind Tash's house and saw this stunning flowering vine...

...and more puzzles before bed.
