The smell of fires and the early morning garden.

I awoke this morning to the smell of bushfires, thinking the house was on fire I had a good look around and couldn't find any thing amiss so put it down to smoke from the bushfires down south. The fires are some distance away, last night they were under control but we had wind last night so maybe they flared up again. It is late in the season for fires but because we had a long hot summer and little rain it not surprising the bush is tinder dry and there is talk they were lit by some idiot.

So grabbed my camera and took early morning photos of the garden, I like the garden best in the afternoon the sun gets under the trees and you get interesting light displays and I usually take pretty parts these are the wilder parts.

There is a definate lean on my arch the jasmine has become to heavy so I've started to prune it off.

This is my driveway it's all cement from the house to the fence, it's old and cracked and things grow in the cracks., I wanted a garden by the house and a tree or two for shade, the pots form the low garden, the cement is very thick and it's a big job to break it all up and start again so I'm just leaving it to grow its own way.

This tree is one thing is not in a pot it's growing in a crack .

Not sure where this grass came from but it grows well down the driveway but it's impossible to transplant it just dies so I just leave it alone, I like its furry seed pods.
