This weekend we went to the wildflower festival at King's Park.

We parked near the Fireman's Memorial

This is  resembling a torch and flame.

  

The 4 rocks symbolize the Southern Cross constellation

These ducks came right up to us!

The red and green Kangaroo Paw is the state flower.

It can get pretty big!

As we walked into the woods a familiar smell caught me off guard, evidently the tree oils from all these plants together smell like a skunk.

  

The cutest ducklings in the park.

The colors were so pretty.

These are called Everlasting Daisies, or paper flowers. They felt so dry. 

But looked so lovely.

The 2 local sports teams are both doing very well this year. 

This black Kangaroo Paw plant looks so awesome.

I really liked the flags up around the park.

The umbrellas were not necessary for a nice day like today!

In honor of the Queen reigning for 63 years this tree got a makeover.

We will also be celebrating her birthday on September 28th.

After our long trek through the bushland we took a sit at the cafe' in the park.

We split a chocolate muffin.

The drinks were pretty good!

The DNA tower.

 It was a really beautiful day!

 Before we left we bought a bouquet of flowers. All the plants are from the park and the money goes to help maintain and bring new activities for the community.

It was a really nice day to spend out now that the weather is getting brighter. 

This and that a week well spent

This week the rain let up!  We went had several lovely days out and around Victoria Park.

Later we went to Roland's parents for Sunday dinner!

The lemons are filling the tree, and the flowers are blooming!

Their fire tree is huge and bright!

The tea tree meets us at the front with delicate pink flowers. The oil from the leaves and the flowers smell so sweet!

We checked on David's passion fruit.

Wow! We found one!

I took the bus to Cannington and did some shopping while Roland was at work. I like to go in time for him to pick me up on his way home.

 The flowers have been so  pretty in the stores!

 We had a lovely dinner at our home with Roland's Mom!

Lettuce and ginger pork cups made with  ground pork, onions, ginger, garlic, shredded carrot fish sauce, hosin sauce and a spoon full of sugar. No recipe needed put it in a wok and cook it up!

  Summer rolls were really nice, but they took a lot more work and some over night light pickling. I think I can do that for my next blog!

 Veggie Pho

 Coconut and lime tapioca pudding with toasted coconut and lime zest!

I am still not used to documenting making food. I get so focused that the idea of stopping and taking photos is just not coming to me!  I hope I get better at this soon!!
