April-May randoms

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you. The week is getting away from me and it is only Tuesday. So just a quick update and I will be back next week. 

Last week we made our annual visit to the Balingup Golden Valley Tree Park to see the autumn colour - a little early this year, just starting, and so sad to see it so dry, but still enjoyable.  More photos next week. 


Finally it rained late last week - the first rain since we have had since October. Hopefully this link will work :) 


We have had a bumper crop of quinces on our tree this year. On Monday I made quince and grape jam. And of slices of quince


And of course because it was Anzac Day on 25th April, I made Anzac biscuits - an Australian classic - albeit a few days late. 


Did you know you can catch up on latest published magazine articles by going to Published Work in the tabs bar?


And my latest news is that a few months ago I was contacted by Pandora Archive through the WA State Library to have my blog digitised and kept on record at The National Library of Australia through Trove. 
There is a selection process. My blog was selected as it was about Western Australia and written by a Western Australian author. And it was on a subject of social, political, cultural, religious, scientific or economic significance and relevance to Western Australia. 
What an honour to be selected.

You can search Trove here: Trove - National Library of Australia
Then write Life Images by Jill in the seach box and click on Websites over on the right hand side. 
Click on my title when it comes up. Then click on View the Live Webpage in the green box on the right hand side - to bring up the latest updates. 


That's it from me for today. I will be back next week with more photos from Balingup.


Thank you so much for stopping by. I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. I will try to visit your blogs in return. Have a wonderful week.

Random days of June

 Hi everyone, I hope you and yours are well and safe. We are in mid-winter here in Western Australia and it goes from rain to freezing cold with clear blue sky days. Because I seem to be totally devoid of inspiration for my blog this week, I bring you Random Days of June. Enjoy! 

Clockwise from top left.... a bunch of sunflowers I bought for myself shown here against that blue sky day, the pin-cushion Hakeas are flowering - so beautiful, seeing beauty in bushfire burnt leaves in the bush, the Geraldton Wax flowering in my garden, laying out some leaves for eco-printing, and our orange tree is producing delicious oranges. 

A delicious pumpkin quiche I enjoyed at Hummingbird Cafe in Busselton, a walk along the river in Donnybrook, the chairs on the Bunbury waterfront, new apartment highrise in Bunbury, a book I have ordered from our local library, and pelicans meeting on the sandbar between the Collie River and the Leschenault inlet. I blogged about the pelicans before here: Where the pelicans meet



And playing around with this image for a Photography Group compeition.


Did I show you the eclipse...it was in May...but here it is anyway.


So there it is....random days of June.....

April Randoms

Can you believe it is the end of April already? I'm not sure where it has disappeared to. In the southern hemisphere we are enjoying the cooler days of autumn, while in the north you are, I hope, reveling in the spring sunshine. I've compiled a few of my April randoms, with a few links to previous posts if you care to look over there.

April is: 

Quinces - stewing delicious quinces "which they ate with a runcible spoon". Autumn is the time when the quinces ripen and are available in our local farmer's market. Have you tasted them? You can't eat them raw, but cooked they are delicious! We have just planted a quince tree, and I am so looking forward to picking my own quinces in the future! The quince is an old orchard variety that is making a comeback. 
I've blogged about them before here - The quince, the symbol of love in ancient Greece and Rome and And slices of quince which they ate with a runcible spoon
