The first wattle of the season

I walked in wonderful winter sunshine up to the library last Wednesday on my day off. On the way back I had coffee at Larte and read the morning paper.

Along Riding Road on my way home I could smell the unmistakable fragrance of wattle. I stopped and found my self right under the tree.

Wattle always reminds me of Slack's Creek where I lived as a child. The sandy soil and numerous wattle and gum trees.

Australia

Beautiful fragrance
