MELBOURNE SPRING SKIES & PLUM BLOSSOM
Melbourne's climate is a temperate Mediterranean-type with relatively warm, wet winters and dry, warm to hot summers. With the ozone layer hole in Antarctica relatively close to us, we have much UV radiation and as a consequence bright blue skies (we use a lot of sunscreen!). The mild climate means that we have a huge range of both exotic and native plants in our gardens. Here is an introduced species, a flowering plum that is often planted in Melbourne streets as an ornamental tree.

Very nicely captured. Very pretty blossom flowers. As I look out the window here in Yorkshire there some blue in the sky, the first this week, but where its not blue its heavy cloud.

ReplyDeleteWhat delicate blossoms! I love the contrast between them and the blue sky!!
ReplyDeleteTo see your photo of springtime reminds me forcefully that we in the U.S. are on the cusp of winter.
ReplyDeleteENSCONCED IN THE SKY
If I were firmly ensconced in the sky,
Earth wouldn’t matter, and I’ll tell you why:
I would be dancing with millions of stars,
Or whirling around from Venus to Mars,
Then I’d consort with a comet or two—
Life would be good, from my point of view!
