Spring has come to Victor Harbor. It was so noticeable after returning from a fortnight in Canberra. The air was warmer, the spring colours were present, and the wind was not so cold. It was actually very pleasant walking in the late afternoon, just before the light went and dusk fell:

It was the yellow of the wattle that initially caught my eye, then the crimson of the Geraldton Wax, and then the pink of the Callistemons. The garden at the weekender in Victor Harbor was so rich in colour.

There is little winter colour in Kingston, Canberra. Despite the spaces of and parks of bush Kingston is so European in feel--English oaks, willows and all that. It's all bare trees at the moment.

Winter in Victor Harbor is so visually rich. It's a joy to be out walking there.
