In Mosman flowering shrubs and trees reign

In Mosman flowering shrubs and trees reign providing constant
 flowers throughout the year, whether it be the 'Alice in Wonderland' Camellias or their  delicate cousins, the Sasanqua, which flower through autumn,winter and spring, leaving paths of pink petals. 
They are a constant delight to the senses as we walk around Mosman, when I can't seem to stop taking photos.

Balmoral alive and well on Mothers Day

 
Happy Mothers' Day
Balmoral was alive and well as we had an indulgent breakfast at one of the cafes. 
With G sitting on one of the park benches engrossed in the Sunday paper, I was free to wander around the rocks bordering the Island.
 
The two curves of sand of Hunters Bay, are now simply referred to as Balmoral but the northern end used to be called Edwards Beach, named after the elder son of Captain John Edwards, known as Balmoral's first permanent resident separated by Rocky Point  known as the 'Island'. 
 
Fabulous weather for walking, exploring, and taking photos.
