olive harvest

We are in the middle of moving to our teeny tiny cottage (aaarghhh!) so post's will be scarce while we find our feet (and heads) again. On Monday we did this beautiful Olive Harvest with a local group called "Growing Abundance". It's a profound concept of harvesting produce that is in excess or the owners need help with harvesting ...such as the elderly. Which set's up all sorts of beautiful connections and strengthening of community.

I took these photo's in our main street not realising my lense was a little stuck in the cold....

not sure who is doing the bombing, but thank you!

the bright flower's of winter

We have been watching the last remaining flowers fall of our tree's and plants

and are now surrounded by the twists of dark bare branches

We went wandering to one of our favourite places to explore which we call "The Worksite"

It's the council's unfenced area for dumping/storing sand, dirt, timber and big slabs of concrete

which is being taken over by grass and reeds

On our way through the land made desolate by the Gold Mining era we found some lovely bright flowers 

(Umm they were weeds...)

but they were lovely

Pearl did some propagating/planting with the seeds 

to ensure more colour on our next walk
