things around me

 

This just flowered in our garden a few days ago. The colour is luminous pink with traces of orange and magenta, it doesn't quite convey on the screen. Sadly it is spectacular for a brief moment; the hot and dry weather has already taken its toll. I have no idea what it is (except that it's a succulent), but it makes me look forward to November every year.

This is a pic of my kids taken by my wonderful step-sister Ange, she's just starting to make a name for herself as a professional photographer around Brissy. You can visit her blog here....

They're beautiful kids, even if I do say so myself.
