Here are some pics I took this morning while visiting our wonderful Cairns Botanical Gardens, where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the little restaurant there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It is always such a pleasure to walk around there and enjoy the beautiful gardens and environment. We needed a cheer up too, as the last few weeks have been devastating for Queenslanders in the path of the flood waters, and it seems Queensland is not alone as flood waters now also create havoc in the southern states, Victoria and Tasmania. We have been very lucky here so far and only experienced plenty of rain in Cairns, but our hearts go out to those down south who are feeling the full force of mother nature.

This little swamp hen came flying out of the garden in a great flurry so I'm surprised the shot isn't more blurry! |
Time to head home. |
Hope you enjoyed the flowers, beary best wishes till next time, Robyn.
