Chrysanthemums

I love flowers.  
As I arrived at my Thursday school last week, I was greeted at the doorway by some of the most magnificent flowers I have ever beheld.  
These Japanese chrysanthemums stand almost shoulder height.  The diameter of the flowers is at least eight inches. 
I was delighted to find the chrysanthemums again this week had hardly atrophied at all.  Yet another reminder that I am living in a far different climate from my native lands next to Lake Superior.  Here we are in mid November and flowers are blooming all over the place. 
I miss the snow of my past winters…but when it comes time to leave these year-round flowers, I will miss them too.
Pin It!

After Oze

As we were leaving Oze National Park, we took a little side trip to check out this incredible waterfall. 

Check it out.

Approaching the waterfall-the river has carved the rock such that the waterfall turns in on itself.
From the other side.
The river-sculpted rock.
Beautiful!
