Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Flowers (I think they are jonquils) just beginning to bloom in my winter garden in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
This is quite an old garden, (and I've only lived here for just over 6 months, and don't know all the plants) so some plants seem to look a little different from the current norm.
In reality, these are very tiny flowers, but the macro shot gives them fulness.

Whisper of yellow
Like tiny lotus flowers
Soft winter jewels

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)
