Look Up, Look Down Challenge-3

~~~~~

My first contribution to

Look Up, Look Down.

Roof_1940

I took this shot about two months ago as I found the roof fascinating.  It was the first time I had seen a slate tiled roof, at close quarters, and could only marvel at the workmanship and how well it has lasted.

Door_1943BW

The right roof above this door is where the first photo was taken.  I have walked through this door many times but only looked up once.

My Floral Friday post, is early and in honour of

National Wattle Day, September 1st.

I only became aware of National Wattle Day while watching

Better Homes and Gardens television program last Friday.

Apart from the first image, a repost, all others are the result of a quick drive around the extended neighbourhood…

Wattle trees, and now shrubs, are members of the Acacia family.

Limelight_1869

 This last image is one of several Acacia Limelights we have in our garden.  We have yet to see a flower, which is normal.  However, we have planted some above a pebble mulch and discovered the hard way that these pretty little shrubs are dirtier, and scruffier, than teenage boys below that pretty green exterior.

It only runs for 4 minutes.
