Dinner

Our dinner yesterday. baked barramundi fillet with fresh vegetable salad.

This is how I cook barramundi fillet or any fish fillet, just bake it in the oven for about 40 minutes with lemon juice, olive oil and pepper (no salt). It's quick and easy.

The Moon

While I was driving going home from the shop yesterday, I noticed the moon just  rising from the horizon. I wasn't really expecting to see a big moon and wonder when will be the full moon.  I wanted to stop and capture a few snaps but unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me. So when I arrived home , I hurriedly grabbed my pocket size camera and captured a few shots but most of them were disappointingly blurry.  I have only  two that is good enough to share with you.

Today's Flowers

Last week, me and hubby were able to make a quick visit to the Blue Mountains and decided to drop by at Everglades  Historic House and Gardens  in Leura on our way back. While we were walking going to their lookout, we saw these shrubs with beautiful flowers growing along the side of the footpath. They are Australian wildflowers.

Me

Just want to share with you some photos that I took today of my myself using the self-timer feaure of my Nikon camera. I don't use the self-timer feature that much  but today I felt that I needed to use it. The kids weren't with  me at this time, only hubby but he was busy looking around the place. 

Too shy

 I should post this photo in Camera Critters meme but can't wait. This was taken yesterday when we  took a drive going to northwest of Sydney and on our way to a car park a kookaburra from nowhere suddenly flew in front of the car. It was good that the car was moving slowly as we approached an empty space in the car park, otherwise we hit the kookaburra. I kept an eye on him to where it would perch, which was on a branch of a small tree. I grabbed my camera and tried to capture a few photos but he was too shy  to face my camera and just let me took one photo before it flew away again into the woods. And here is the photo that I took, we cannot even see his eyes.

Lunch

This was my lunch yesterday, satay chicken and fried rice with lemon iced tea at Norwest Shopping Mall.

Trip

I was considering  for  a quick visit  to the  Blue Mountains today after I take David to  his school vacation care.  I love to go to the Blue Moutains at this time of the year  because it is a great place to see beautiful and stunning colours of Autumn.  I love Autumn leaves and last year I headed up there by myself only. This time hubby decided to come with me because he is on holiday for 2 weeks. The place that I wanted to visit is just about 45 minutes drive. But unfortunately today, weather refuses to cooperate, the ground is soaking wet from the overnight rain and still raining this time. I have to reschedule the visit then sometime this week if weather will be fine. 

Today's Flowers

 These are my  Zygopetalum orchids at this time of the year. What I love with this kind of orchids  are  their beautiful flowers and fragrance .

Yellow this Autumn Season

Autumn has always been my favourite season. The crisp air and the colours of the leaves make me happy.The changing of the colour of the leaves is  so beautiful. 

 “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
― Albert Camus

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree"

"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile"

My new orchid

The other day while I was at the fruit market close to where we live, I saw a lady near the entrance of the market selling different kinds of  plants. As a  a plant lover, I thought to check out the plants before going inside the fruit market. I know prices with this kind are quite cheap compared to the prices in the plant nursery.While checking the plants,  I saw these orchids in a pot. I asked the lady how much was the price and I can't believe when she told me that it only cost $5 so, I didn't let my chance slip by and grabbed the plant.

I haven't got this kind of orchids yet and I thought it would be a great addition to my collection. The name of this orchids is brassia verrucose and it has white flowers as what the lady said to me.
Searching in the internet when I got home, I found out that the flowers look like in the photo below.
