I see you caught a critter with your camera lens in the white tulip, and the cormorant has such a beautiful pattern on its wings. I am happy to see the wide, flat paths through the park. My late father who was confined to a wheelchair and loved gardens would have enjoyed an outing like this. Looking forward to the tulip photos!<br /><br />And do you still have a magnet left? I waited until the bulk of the comments seemed to be in, to give others a chance. But if you have one to spare, I would love to receive one.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-21458213178620112962015-09-26T13:43:20.250+10:002015-09-26T13:43:20.250+10:00Myrna R.: Australia is such a varied country, and...Myrna R.: Australia is such a varied country, and this is one tiny corner of it.
