Julia Spencer-Fleming's series is just as engrossing the second time through. So well, and intelligently, and cleverly and thoughtfully written. The audio books are excellent too (current listening).

Can't understand why they're hard to find here in Oz, and hardly known as a result. They're murder mysteries and character studies set in upstate New York. If you haven't read them...do.

See?

It's nearly done for this year, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I haven't seen another quite like it, with that flurry of small petals in the centre.

The best thing in the garden is this camellia bush. Flowers every year, beautifully and reliably.

The branches of this sway and spring back throughout the day with all the attention the cream-to-yellow blooms are getting from native birds.
