DESKTOP 3075 - KOI

Koi fish are often associated with strength of character, perseverance, accomplishment and courage. The fish also symbolise good fortune, success, prosperity and ambition. Their long history and hardy nature has also led to koi being associated with longevity. They are the perfect symbol for a beginning New Year, so here's wishing you a Very Koi New Year!

DESKTOP 3065 - YULETIDE

Yes, the decorations are up and it's only a few more sleeps till Christmas. This year we are not giving presents to family and friends, we are giving presents to complete strangers. Several community groups are organising gift drives for families with small children who cannot afford presents. Share the smiles, have a great Christmas!

DESKTOP 2824 - OFFERING

It's Anzac Day here in Australia today and it's a day of memories and memorials, peace-making and commemoration of all who died in conflicts. While walking I saw this offering on a garden wall - a thoughtful gesture, a mark of respect, a simple memorial to the fallen. Lest we forget...

Tecoma capensis (common name Cape honeysuckle) is a species of flowering plant in the family Bignoniaceae, native to southern Africa. Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the true honeysuckle. Synonyms include Bignonia capensis, Tecomaria capensis and Tecoma petersii.

The flowers are tubular, narrow, about 7.5 cm long, and are produced at different times throughout the year. They are grouped in 10–15 cm long terminal clusters. The flower colour ranges from orange to orange-red to apricot.
