The weather here in Melbourne has been glorious lately. Spring is a wonderful time of year in my hometown, with crisp sparkling mornings and clear bluest of blue skies. The weather is mild but beautifully sunny and there are signs of new life everywhere.
I've also really enjoyed Winter. I love being able to see the bare bones of our gardens and watch the rain fall in abundance. The country side is green and thank goodness our dams are full again. Nothing is nicer than cuddling up inside on a stormy day, with a mug of hot Milo and a good book to read or a delightful piece of sewing in your hands.
And Autumn is a treat. I think we get the very best weather of all in Melbourne's autumn and it often goes on for months and months.
I'm not very good in the heat so summer is my least favourite time, but when it's not too hot, it is still a joy, and the warm balmy evenings present a wonderful chance to stroll along the beach.
I love the four very different seasons we experience here in Victoria, and they are my Tuesday Treasures today. Thank you to my son, Sammy, for the photos.
Do you have something you treasure to share with us all. It can be a person, a place or a thing. An idea, a feeling or a dream. Anything which brings you joy. Please pop your details into Mr Linky and join in the fun.
This week I'm showing some more of my box collection.Hope you'll like them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed my visit to Melbourne -it is a pretty city - your photos show it off well. Hope the glorious spring weather continues for a bit longer, before it gets too hot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Melody. You get the extremes of heat in summer and we get the extremes of cold in winter - if only we could mix them up a bit and we would get a happy medium. It has been cold here today...I am dreading winter, I really do not enjoy the cold and wet at all. Oh and I must remember to do Tuesday Treasure in the morning...I found a treasure of mine today when looking for something else - must remember to take photos of it!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow Melbourian I wholly heartedly agree- we have the best of the four seasons here!
ReplyDeleteSpring is glorius, I love everything about it, well almose everything. I pass on the sneezing.

Mmmmm - your lovely pics are a welcome reminder of all the wonderful things about Melbourne and its environs for an ex-pat living in Tasmania! Mind you - I think I still prefer the Tassie summer temperatures and lack of humidity!
ReplyDeleteFirstly..love your new header. Now I can enjoy your gorgeous Hexies every time I visit. I love your home State of Victoria it is such a place of contrasts and so beautiful...can't wait to visit again. Your son took some gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of a beautiful Melbourne ,I really enjoyed seeing them.
ReplyDeleteHi Melody, we are about two hours away from you and having the nicest weather too.. I agree, I don't like the heat of summer at all. Lovely photos..

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place you live in! I am linking up again. :)
ReplyDeleteoops, first linked to my post from last week, and then did it right. but don't know how to delete the first one. still learning ha! sorry about that!!
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed with four distinct seasons here in Australia which all are so different. I am not looking forward to those days in the 40's. So I will enjoy Spring.
ReplyDeleteHappy days to you Melody.

Ah I love Melbourne... Wonderful photos... xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Melody. Melbourne was my home for a few years back in the seventies and it is a lovely city. Also love your new look blog!
ReplyDeleteCompliments to your son for the lovely photos. I think we had a couple of those seasons within the hour today. But that's what makes it special!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the changing seasons too - although I would love to live in the tropics, and have summer all year round, I can't handle the bug population that goes with it! That's one nice thing about winter, it keeps the bugs down. Love that pic of the beach!
