About Simply Susan

My photo
Made in England, Susan grew up particularly enjoying collecting second hand books and visiting jumble sales for bargains. She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.

Jacarandas

The Jacaranda trees at the end of our street are in bloom! On Sunday morning before church, I wandered around the park with my camera and captured their beauty, before the blossoms are dislodged by wind and rain.



While these aren't the largest, oldest or finest specimens of this beautiful tree, they are the local ones that I get to enjoy, and so I share them with you.

A few years ago, I penned these words

Jacarandas

Canopies of purple, blossoms all around,
Hanging from the branches, scattered on the ground.
They stand out in country vistas and in cities too -
Delightful in the springtime, giving joy to me and you.

One of my favourite Queensland, springtime blessings, may you find them so too.
