Come on Ozpolitians - post some pics.

I'll go and take a pic of some of our Mother's Day flowers (my favourite are the deep blood red ones). Before I do so ... I'll write up a note with today's date/time and I'll dedicate the shot to you. Ok Bobby?

Edit : Actually ... I'll even take a shot of one of my 4 choko vines. Yep...we've got chokos growing. EVERYWHERE! They've taken over adjoining neighbourhood yards too 🥺

In fact I reckon I'll start HARVESTING chokos BEFORE December <--- that's when I normally start looking around for an over ripe choko to PLANT. Not this year....here we are staring at chokos and Mother's Day flowers happily growing away in our own garden. In November. 😳

It doesn't look real. By that I mean it looks too amazingly perfect.

Love it!

Hey .... guess my favourite tree! Hint : It starts with J.

Jacaranda ?

Wow!

And YESSSSSS!

I LOVE Jacaranda trees ESPECIALLY when their gorgeous purple flowers spray everywhere across lawns. The resultant look is so soft and romantic. Just beautiful!

Oh wow! Those pics look very clear and crisp.

Tomorrow should be an easier/less busy day here. I'll have a bit more time to transplant a few of my Mother's Day flowers into pots for a few neighbours so I'll be out there nice n early. Re chokos .. 1 neighbour has now indicated she wants my 1st choko lol. It should be ready by next week. I'm giving this particular neighbour as many chokos as she wants (she has breast cancer and her husband was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer). The lovely couple are in their 70's but have always worked very hard running businesses all their adult lives. Very sad situation there. 🥺

Anyway I'll place my iPhone in my pocket and whilst I'm out there ... I'll take a few pics for you tomorrow Bobby. Cheers.

Thanks Lisa,
all the pics are taken with a low priced mobile phone.
No $1,000 mobiles needed.
You don't need an expensive mobile or a DSLR camera to take nice photos -
especially at the small size of 700 pixels wide.
With mine I do have to tell it what to focus on -
just by pressing on the screen the center of the flower of interest.
It's that easy.

Good on you Sprint! I now love coming to OzPol BECAUSE of this sub forum (and in particular this topic).

Re gardening and flowers etc ... I've been up since 6 am watering away and plugging in my early morning chores. I'm now at the stage where I've showered, dressed, had my morning coffee, sorted out the family ( they're showered, breakfasted and off with Dad to visit their cousins this morning ) and I've got washing machine load no 2 going.

That means I'm ready to get out there with this iPhone and start taking snaps. Let me prep a Good Morning OzPol by Lisa Jones dated 20 Nov first.

Edit : Damn these bloody strong winds...our usual Sunday midday bbq is definitely not happening today 🥺☹️😐
