Musings on life and times
Waiting for the train, one couldn’t help but be impressed by the rather brutal pruning of these callistemon (bottlebrush) specimens, and the new growth bursting forth.
Yet another entry for the weekly photo challenge, “Waiting” , there being no new challenge this week.
Xanthorrhoea glauca, common name ‘grass tree’, is native to Australia. Often used in landscaping, it is slow growing. In fact, when we planted ours, we wondered if we would live to see it flower. 2017, and the first flower has appeared, although not yet fully ‘open’. Normally ramrod straight, it seems to be bending to follow the light. It is surely unusual!

An evolving scientist, and a close family member, have a habit of collecting food photos. Every photo in these two collages has a happy memory attached. Of course, the Chinese banquet is something of a collage itself.
