Too Mellow For A Yellow Fellow
Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONThe sun's actually come out this afternoon, and the forecast for tomorrow is for clear skies. I took this shot to show you that even in mid-winter, with Olinda golf course blanketed in snow, we still have bright colour in our gardens. These yellow daisies flower right through the coldest months, although they're looking a bit tatty now. Soon I'll cut it back to a half-metre bare stump, and sure enough, next winter it'll be about three metres across in a huge yellow blanket.

Do I understand correctly, that these are bushes that keep on flowering at near zero temperatures?
I see you put your (c) next to each image, is there any particular reason for it?
My grandmother grew daisies, I used to love looking at these flowers when they were in bloom. You just brought back a memory of her! :)
By the way, I found the church! It is Christ Church Cathedral on St. Catherine's not very far from the Bay. I am still wondering from which point you took the photograph though, for you to have captured the building behind it like that! I walked past it the other day and it just stared at me in the face!
cheers!

So subltly beautiful.
Hi Merisi,
Yep - nothing stops them!
No particular reason for the copyright declaration!
Keep smiling

Hi Cecilia,
I'm glad that brought back a special memory.
Yes, the shot was taken on Rue St Catherine. I did laugh at the notion of the Cathedral staring you back in the face!
Keep smiling
