GPE #5 : Remembering Elephant's Child

 

 This is a very special Garden Photos Event post in commemoration of Dinahmow's blog friend, Sue, who lost her battle with cancer at the end of September.  Dinah asked if we could feature Sue's garden in Canberra, Australia, as she left it at the onset of spring which I thought was a lovely idea.

 The commentary and most of these photos are from Sue's final post, and I've provided links to the respective originating posts beneath the rest of the photos.  (The cockatoo and magpie above are from Sue's blog header photo.)

 Spring is most definitely here and I continue to revel in it.  I hope to see anenomes and ranunculas in the coming days.

[I hope you did, Sue - IDV]

 

 

 Same old, same old on the photographic front but they make me smile and I hope they do the same for you.

I really like the micro garden that has established itself on the rock in our bird bath.

 Here's to colour and joy.

 To colour and joy, indeed! 

 I think Sue's garden has given those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, whose gardens are going to sleep, something to look forward to.  Thank you for suggesting this, Dinah.
