[Photos] Kings Park
Recovering from bronchitis and have just had to cancel tomorrow's massage appointment (which the rest of my body needs, but my chest can't handle, lol, also I don't want anyone else to get whatever residual virus might be hanging around).
I'm going to be trying Hoshiai no Sora soon and I'm really looking forward to it.
Craving milky things, and it's frustrating, because trying to explain to my body that I shouldn't eat anything that helps with phlegm production is falling on deaf ears.
Baby Menzies/firewood Banksia blossom. It's normal for Banksias to have flowers at all different stages on the same tree at the same time, so I'm going to go through the stages!
Inflorescence/flower. This is very small, most of them are longer.
Dying/no longer containing nectar.
Reveal of the seed pod. (I'm sure there's a more technical name for this because technically it's multiple seed pods in one growth that stays on the Banksia indefinitely).
This Australian Magpie (not a Corvid) was drinking from the drink fountain.
It is a very beautiful botanic garden. The Noongar say that the spiritual power of Kings Park (as a pre-settlement Indigenous site) is so strong that it's resisted all forms of major commercial development, which is how we're so fortunate to have so much garden and wild bushland so proximal to the Swan River (the Wagyl) and the city)
I'd never really thought about it before, it feels like Kings Park will be always, in some form.

A sculpture in which a giant, created banksia seedpod is made to look like an egg in a nest.
One of our many gumtrees / Eucalyptus
Banksia. Most of these flowers are huge.
Banksia leaves with their pretty serrations

Banksia. This one is really as fluffy as it looks
Glen and I spent a good thirty minutes just sitting beneath the generous shade of this tree, enjoying its spirit and looking up in the canopy. Later, two ravens came and joined us, allopreening and enjoying ourselves.
