Well after seeing the other folks’ exciting photos, I felt I should even up the score. I thought I’d show you some views from the back and front of our house that are very average, (please excuse the dirty windows).
The first two are taken looking out our lounge room window to the small backyard. The next one is from my modelling room. Blotting out the light is a bay tree and an enormous old hamii bamboo and you can’t see the house behind us though it’s only twenty yards away.
The next four are from the same lounge room looking out onto the street. More bamboo, golden and black …yep, I do love my bamboo!
The last one is of the Dandenong ranges; if you look just above our neighbours’ roof you might see them! Oh, I live on the eastern edge of the city of Melbourne with the population nearing the five million mark.

Thanks mate It’s all this rain we are having at the moment ! When we moved down from QLD I surrounded the house in bamboo to give me the sense of tropical warmth , it isn’t working today 🥶

Lovely Pat. Great seeing places from around the world and all the different trees and plants. Makes me want to travel. Perhaps once the world returns ro some sort of normality that will be a possibility once again!

I agree with you mate, always great to see other places, and as you know I love to see plants and trees as it helps when doing a diorama.

Thanks mate, but just remember how much extra time you have for painting instead of weeding and pruning !!

Nice and green …thanks for joining in. I love bamboo, but It isn’t a good plant for up here, tends not to grow due to the constant wind.

Lovely pics Pat. I must add some (when the sun comes out) to the group. I won’t see leaves until May here, and I love seeing green stuff!
