Signs - Floral Regalia

Sunday was a magnificent Spring day in Perth with the temperature going up to 26C (78,8F), so I managed to convince Jose to go with me to Kings Park, Botanical Gardens to see the wildflowers on display during the whole month of September.

Apart from beautiful flowers and cool art displays the park also had plenty of signs 😉.

For more signs from around the world visit Tom's blog.

Floral Regalia - this year's theme shows a canopy with hundreds of wildflowers crocheted on hoops. These were created by community volunteers.

As the sign says, many of Western Australia's artists find inspiration in the landscape, plants and wildlife of our State and immortalize those in art.

And I leave you with the last sign - Western Australian Botanic Garden

Hope you enjoyed the signs and visit to Kings Park.

Monday Mural - 4 Paws

This one is for the dog lovers out there 😉.
The last mural I saw in Canning Vale,  just around the corner from last week's mural. 
Don't know who the artist was and when it was painted, but it was painted on the walls surrounding the extensive rural property of the 4 Paws Boarding Kennels for dogs.

Signs - Dreams

I spotted this sign in a restaurant a long time ago, and then came across this pillow with the same words.

Have you found this to be true?  I thought I was a dreamer, but maybe I don't dream "big enough" 🤣

Monday Mural - Fauna and flora in Canning Vale

As I mentioned last week I spotted 3 murals when I went to pick up something I bought on Facebook Marketplace, from the nearby suburb of Canning Vale. 
Here is the second mural which was painted by two Perth artists - Melski McVee and Brenton See on all 4 sides of the Clifton Park change rooms in May this year. What a pity they had just finished painting it a few days before my visit. I would have loved to have seen them in action.

This awesome mural showcases the fauna and flora that can be found in the adjacent bushland, and I found it breathtaking, as they are both such amazing artists!

Signs - Diana

I was always a fan of Diana, since the came on the scene as a shy Kindergarten teacher dating Prince Charles, who she later married.
The Princess of Wales, who became one of the most admired women of the world died at the tender age of 36 in an accident in Paris almost 22 years ago, on the 31st August 1997.
When I was looking at my SIGN folder of photos I saw this one and thought it was just the ideal time to use it.

This sign was photographed in Cascais, a town 30km outside of Lisbon (Portugal), where my Parents and my middle sister live, and where there is an avenue dedicated to the Princess - "Avenue Diana Spencer" (Princess of Wales).

I also found some of Diana's quotes which are quite relevant and also resonate with me:

Family is the most important thing in the world.

Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

Only do what your heart tells you.

I don't go by the rule book... I lead from the heart, not the head.
