My Crepe Myrtle tree has shed its bark, as it does annually, in preparation for the fall and winter display. The Crepe Myrtle is displays flowers in spring and summer and in the fall/winter, colorful display of dark brown/red patches on lighter skin on the branches. #naturephotography #Trees #nature #crepemyrtle

She felt exhausted, could barely #contain herself, her resilience down to a #nub – no, a grain, rather. The night is darkest before dawn, she thought, when shades of #ember and #crepemyrtle announced an #edenic sunrise.

Some #crepemyrtle still flowering in brilliant purple amongst another green thing with buds I cannot quite make out.
But let’s just say, the local pollinators know what it is and are taking full advantage!
A few #bees let me get up oh so close, for long periods. They do have hairy legs!
Oh, btw…
Q. What’s a #bee’s favorite flower?
A. Bee-gonias!

Cute #crepemyrtle to cheer your #Friyay!!
This colour in particular is still blooming in and around Melbs beautifully, so too white ones.
So bright and giving.

This gorgeous deep pink #crepemyrtle was amongst over half a dozen displaying nicely in #Camberwell #Australia recently.
So colourful. So lush.

Such is #Melbourne’s weather, ‘four seasons in one day, raining, drizzly in the morning, blue skies, sun and glorious this arvo.
The sight of this #crepemyrtle warranted a stop off and snapping.
It’s just gorgeous.
This is in its flowering prime and was surrounded by about 8 others of the same size and colour, at a care facility in #Camberwell #Australia.
Bursting with goodness and colour - OMG!!

As part of the #VicGov (#victoriangovernment) train infrastructure upgrades and boom gate removal project, a good deal of the track is now located above… opened only a couple of years ago.
Capital works in #melbourne and surrounding inner and outer suburbs, including a comprehensive underground train tunnelling network to complement the existing tunnels in the city, have been under construction in varying stages near on ten years now.
It’s designed to remove congestion due to traffic stoppages at boom gate intersections, quicker commute times for public transport users and to open the growth corridor of the out SE suburbs for commuters to better access the surrounding suburbs and city.
The bonus? New flora!
These dozen or so #crepemyrtle are flowering profusely and they bring up this otherwise dreary street enormously.
Such a mood lifter.

Is this pink or lilac?
I doesn’t really matter, because it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Most of the #crepemyrtles growing in #melbourne #Australia appear to be vibrant pink in colour (flowers)… unlike this colour, so it was an easy decision to double back and take these shots today.
I chose to ignore my youngest’s protests!
Despite the humid and overcast morning, these just looked divine.

Just look at this pink flowering #crepemyrtle (got it right this time, folks!) poking over this residential wall in #Elwood #Australia.
It can only be described as breathtaking.
It’s bursting with bloom and colour!
Noticed these come in a variety of colours (shades) and structure. Some are tree-like, others quite shrubby and some present as spear-like structures with long branches splaying upwards (over say, 2.5 metres high ie, 8+ feet) from a central hub, at the root.
They really are a mood lifter and a visual hedonist’s delight.

A small sprig of #crepemyrtle poking over a leaved front fence in #Elwood #Australia.
Was a gorgeous day and the pinks against the greens and blue sky was a delight. Just had to share… obvs!!

Taken in #Hawthorn #Australia (from a distance) is this #crepemyrtle - large in stature and covered in rich pink bloom.
And another smaller one in the background.
A scintillating display, inducing an instant feeling of joy. I did gasp audibly (seriosly did!) upon initially sighting this beauty.

Yet another #crepemyrtle living it’s best life in #melbourne #Australia.
They’re out in force at the minute. And they’re good value for any visually hedonistic person!

#Gardening #trees #crepemyrtle This is one of my many crepe myrtles. Mostly I have variety Lagerstroemia indica 'Tuscarora' The blooms are a deep watermelon pink. I just loved the way the trunk looked in the afternoon sun yesterday contrasting with the colorful leaves.
