Tiptoe Through the Tulips

Yesterday I drove Margaret and Joy to visit Araluen Botanical Gardens in the Hills above Perth.  Araluen is a wonderful spot and it is very popular with locals and visitors to this state.   The reason for our visit was to see the Tulip festival.  

                           A few pics here.....Click on the pics to enlarge them.




I have to admit that I am not really a flower person, but the extensive gardens, waterfalls and indeed the Tulips and other flowering plants and trees are impressive.  A couple of mother wild ducks shepherded their flock amongst the visitors.  A park warden told us that they will probably not survive too long with the wildlife in and around the park,  Sad!

Kev, The day was lovely and the photos reflect that beauty. How lucky are we to have such beautiful parks and gardens so close to Perth and so many dedicated people to look after them.The surrounding bush land is just as beautiful with its tall trees and natural wildflowers. Thanks you again Kev. Marg
