down here, things are different.... well, I think they are. Sometimes, when I am reading blogs, I sigh with discontent, at the gorgeous photos that are shared - wishing I could live the life of that particular blogger. I wish I weren't like that but I am. I am grateful, thankful and blessed with my life - but sometimes the grass seems greener on the other side of the globe.
Today is stinking hot & I forced myself to go out to the shops to buy provisions to feed the starving. Whipping past the local florist, I noticed the roses, the orchids & the other exotic flowers that were for sale - then looking up, I spied through the window something that literally took my breath away. So I popped in - inside were frangipanis & other gorgeous flowers that are available here at the moment. But what took my breath away was a stem of pink flowering gum - what little ragged blossom is made of - so I treated myself, because I deserve it!

wow, those are amazing, I've never seen anything like that. They look almost other worldly. I can see why they took your breath away...and yes you certainly deserve them.
XOXO

Those are gorgeous. Can we trade spaces. I have always wanted to see AU. Love the pictures, thanks for sharing them.
Are those real?! They're incredible! Absolutely insane and fun energy, perfect.
I have never seen flowers from a gum tree, they look like chestnut flowers but in pink!!
I think so many of us would love to run away and live some of the lives we read in these blogs. It must be a sort of 21st century version of running away to Alaska or Tahiti. I'd like to live Frida's life for a week and Corey's life like, ohhhhh, FOREVER. LOL
I have never seen anything like it! Wow!
