Lily the Pink

OK I know it is really lilac isn't it.  This is a native water lily that my mum has in a pond in her garden.  They really are lovely up close.  It was a shame there was no frog sitting on it for me or for that matter, a rabbit for Biker Bears twist on Mad March Hare.  Thanks Anni for hosting. 

Anyhoo, I have finished with the big smoke and am back home.  Hamish and I had duties at the Newie Show (see extra) this evening so I left Sydney at lunch time.   The other extra of the show doesn't really show how wet it is here at the moment.  We certainly needed the rain but the yearly rainfall now seems to fast approaching. I am not complaining though as it is so wonderful to see everything green and happy again.
