Wildflowers, garden flowers and baby calves

 Good morning Blogger friends; summer has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and we've enjoyed our first rains. 

Close up rains drops on my wash line ...
...and on the Banskia rose
I spent an age outdoors snapping these drops! 
Gaura lindheimeri 
Thandiwe's protective cage around the shrubs - against heavy dogs! 
I have this beautiful shade in the Gaura lindheimeri 
I used a discarded wine rack to protect my geranium from a dog bounding across it when he barks along the fence!

Passing the dairy while on the top farm road, Skabby and I stopped to admire a newborn calf (the brown cow was visiting Mum, the black cow, at maternity! 
The calf showed scant interest in its surroundings! 
Mum checking up on her baby while the visitor turns to leave 
Skabby was very hot and uncomfortable before his grooming

I stopped to photograph a profusion of wildflowers along the road

Back home I snapped my Budleja 

I'm linking to Saturday Critters with Eileen here 


HAPPY SUNDAY TO YOU ALL !

    I love your flowers, the Banskia Roses are lovely. Cute shot of Skabby in the water. The calf is adorable, and the mom looks very attentive. Your budleja looks different than the kind I have here. Wonderful post. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great new week ahead! PS, thanks for the comment.

  8. Beautiful looking calf. Skabby getting his regular cooling off swim, it must make him feel refreshed. Love those wildflowers and the water drops.
