To be, or not to be..sensible.....!

I took these photos last week when the skies were blue and the sun was shining and decided to keep them for a grey day.. how happy I am that I did.  Not only are the skies grey and weeping but for the second time this year I've succumbed to the dreaded flu! I don't know how it is in other countries around the world but here in Australia before winter sets in the doctors strongly advise everyone to get a 'flu injection' to protect against nasty viruses, in most cases it's free and many sensible people do the right thing. I've never had one, but I'm thinking after the last few days, next year I just might have to give being 'sensible' a try, it's never too late right!  While a lot of trees are still in their naked winter state these brilliantly coloured Butea monosperma, more commonly known as the 'flame tree' are flowering abundantly all around Perth, adding a much appreciated splash of vibrant colour and hinting at the imminent arrival of spring, can't wait! Hope you've had a good week so far, take care.....
