Blossom

In January I described my search of a tree planted by famous Polish pianist I. Paderewski in Royal Botanic Garden in Melbourne. Now was the time for a visit in the spring...



It blossomed so nicely. I wonder what will happen with all these flowers. Last Autumn I checked the fruits - there was only one - dried and dead.

End of newspapers

Last Monday, I passed by the rear door of the newsagent. I was struck by....



... stacks of unsold newspapers. What a waste :((((
