Can it be?




Can it really be?! Do my eyes decieve me, or are the first signs of Autumn starting to show their beautiful colours, even though the official start of Autumn is still 12 days away on March 1st? Oh happy day, happy, happy day! Love Amanda xx

I didn't know your tropical foliage turned colors! You will have to continue to educate this unaware American :-) Rosie

Mary said...

I didn't know that, either! So glad you are getting some of your favorite weather, Amanda.

I'm catching up on your posts (again) and I must tell you that your bargains are amazing! And I am overwhelmed that you only shop once a month, and make all you meals to freeze -- you must be so organized!!!

Oh, and the fruit salad looks yummy! Have a wonderful week!

Oh honey - let's swap homes for a while. Wait...forget that. Your weather is about to get cold. Never mind!

Good Morning Amanda,
Oh my, what some beautiful Fall Colors you have there. It looks like Fall is coming your way. I'm like the others, I didn't know your foliage turned colors either. I do hope you plan on sharing some more of your Fall Foliage with us. I want to know more about your culture over there. I enjoy learning new things about different cultures. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours. I do hope your Precious Princess gets to feeling better as well. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

I am not sure I knew palm leaves change like that! It is so funny being in the opposite weather from you. It's just struck me that March/April is fall for you, spring for us. I think if i ever visit Australia I will always be looking at a calendar! Hee-hee! Enjoy the cooler weather!

Amazing. I feel exactly the same way here in Ohio when the maple leaves start to change. But seeing that rainbow of colors on your palm fronds was something completely new. Great!

Jan said...

Amanda this is so amazing being at opposite ends of the seasons!! We wait for Spring and you head into Fall! You can come into my garden when you are covered in white...or do you ever get snow..forgive my ignorance! hugs NG

Linda said...

Hi Amanda, the changing colors of your plant are very pretty. We are sing the praises of the coming of spring here. Linda

Hey Amanda
I love the foliage in Australia,reminds me of South Africa...lots of palm trees there, and bougainvillea,lavender etc ...Your photos are lovely, very vivid.
Until next time!
PS:Waiting patiently for Spring here in Ireland, which was "officially" 1st Feb...freezing though.

I agree with Rosie, who knew that tropical foliage changed colors! That is just amazing to me. I'm so not worldly over here.

Come Away With Me said...

Greetings from California!

It's so funny to read about Autumn approaching when here in the Northern Hemisphere we are all getting ready for Springtime! I'm so glad I found your blog...another perspective is always refreshing!

These fronds are beautifully colored and I'm enjoying your photography.

And yes, I'd so love to get on that bus with you! I'll be visiting again soon to see more of beautiful Queensland.
