Tafe's Magnolia

There are three magnolias I try to take good photos of each August when they're in bloom.

One is in fornt of the Centrelink office. There's aother excellent one in Pretoria Parade and a smaller but beautiful one in front of Hornsby TAFE. The flowers are gone now but other spring blossom is out and I'll be sharing more photos over the long weekend to keep your mind off the winter gloom!

I'll probably be doing a calendar of some of these photos in October.

Hornsby now has an APPLE Store!

Hornsby finally has an APPLE store. For weeks now MAC tragics have probably wandering past the signs wondering when it would open. Well it opened yesterday!

No longer the long hike to the CBD to drool over the shiny techno bling things.

Now if I can just earn the last 500 dollars I need to buy a MacBook Pro 15" screen ...

Okay I'm sounding very MAC tragic but seriously check out the new store.

They're offering FREE workshops!

... and it will be sooo interesting to see how JB HIFI and Dick Smith Electronics respond to the competition?

A Hornsby Park Resident

I've not been blogging much lately cos I've been waiting for the Amazon Associates app to be fixed .

It's looks like its STILL not fixed so I apologize for my inability to fine tune ads.

Another Rose picture for you to enjoy while we wait for the park roses to bloom again!

Mmm Danny's Poppy Twist!

Is this the best Poppy Seed Twist Pastry in Hornsby or the Upper North Shore!

I think so and the other cakes and pastries at Danny's Patisserie on the West side are great too!

But I have a special fondness for this particular pastry which sadly I can not allow myself to induge in too often!

If you're shopping on the West side or coming to or fro from TAFE or the P.O. I recommend this cake shop! Oh they also do rum balls tarts donuts and other goodies!

Growing Old Fashioned Roses: In Australia and New Zealand (Growing Series)

I don't know when construction will start on the new pool but until then I'm taking as many photos as possible in case they tear up any of the flower beds!

The white roses planted in Hornsby park are old fashioned Picardy Roses.

Enjoy and I hope this brings you happy memories!

The Burra Boys

Another shot of the Burra Boys.
Yes I think that is a lizard sticking out of the mouth of the younger smaller burra!
The Boys are being very co-operative with the camera this spring.
Maybe I can do a Burra Boys calendar next year?

Let me know if you would like to see one?
