autumn blooms
it is officially autumn in this part of the world. and today, it has been cold. i don't particularly like the cold, and i dread the onset of winter. but whether i like it or not, winter is most definitely on its way. there is not much i can do about it. it's just the way it is.
anyway, today, we went for a short drive to an old railway station nestled in some hill, just outside town. it is known for its country style cafe, and even more popular in the springtime when the hills boast of the most exquisite display of bright colorful blooms.
anyway, we got there. loved the place, but the cafe was closed. we were the only ones there except for the staff attending to the trains. little did we know that they only do business from friday to sunday, when most people flock, as the grounds are a favorite for picnic-goers.
but it wasn't all a loss. even in autumn, i found these pretty flowers, still blooming in perfection, serving as backdrop to a wonderful afternoon with the "loves" of my life.
in the end, that's all that matters. being with the people you love. and appreciating the beauty around you.

last 2 photo is interesting... the bug is dying to get out a juice from the wilting flower [parang i see the current economy with this photo --- i am hoping it won't extremely come to this though].
very nice to have a bonding moment with your family keth huh - that's what matters.
great shots as always, keth! i love flowers gyud!
i'm glad you had a great time with your family. sus, padung na diay pud ka tugnaw dinha. may na lang diri, padung na init. yay!
Amazing shots you have there, Keth! I really love them.
Autumn is nice too--you'll have lovely colors to photograph! Enjoy it anyway--despite the cold weather. =)
thanks cinds. that is a very interesting point you've got there. you really know a lot about the economy. and i think it's very clever of you to see the metaphor.
thanks jops. yes, we had a wonderful time. mabaw ra kaayo mig kalipay. a day out in the park...that makes our day na. yes, it's autumn...and then, the cold will be unbearable for a while.
hi liz, thanks. yes, i am looking forward to capturing the golden hues of autumn...even the browns...but our autumn here is not as colorful as yours there. you have much much more deciduous trees there. we live in the tropical part of australia, although winter still gets very cold.
