DAVID JONES have a flower show every year have done for years but never been before didn't even know they had it. It was quite lovely Barbara and I attended this year.
This was on the walk up to the flowers show, looked like a rope wall but it's made of cement pretty striking just a little bit different.
Wonderful arrangements of flowers in the store itself.
These were taken through the window a lot of reflection but still very pretty.
Just a tree in Hyde park.
We went for a walk around town, they changed the sign outside of where I once worked.
I like these fellows beards bet they took a while to grow.
spooky long hall in the QVB
and strange little door with a rail over it wonder where it goes
Lift and arch
Other bits of the QVB building it's a wonderful place.
We had lunch with the birds before heading off home.
back to Barbs place for coffee and a chat.
Then on to visit my daughter, her partner and Angus.
He had a bath the next morning as it was a warm and sunny day it takes him all day to dry.
So here he is saying goodbye, time for me to go home now.

ReplyDeleteWhat a super outing!!! I did go to the flower show once (back a century!!!); very beautiful. Must make an effort to drop into the QVB when I am back in town... maybe see the Christmas tree &*> YAM xx
The Christmas tree is always worth a visit, I always go visit the QVB when in town, it once was a hardware shop Knock And Kirby's years ago before it was done up, I can only just remember going there as a little girl with my mum.
DeleteMerle..........
Oooh. Some lovely displays. Really like the orchids, and the decorative leaves and cacti.
ReplyDeleteIt is years since I have seen the QVB - thanks for the reminder.
The flower show was pretty good, but David Jones always do things well.

That was quite the day with all those gorgeous splashes of color. In the 5th photo there is a round low pot on the floor, R corner, with red flowers. I buy some that certainly do look like that every summer for the garden pots. It's an annual but I don't know the name. Do you? They are wonderful as they keep blooming all summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour.
No I not good with flower names but I know what you are talking about they do bloom for a long time.

... hi Merle... your photos are wonderful... I had a great day out with you ... thoroughly enjoyed myself.... we must do it again before the weather gets too hot...
ReplyDeleteAngus looks great.. xxx

LOVE the stained glass behind those arches. All the flower displays are very pretty too, I particularly like the wattle in the window. Nice to walk around Sydney with you and Barbara.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the stained glass in the QVB, I worked just down the road so walked past there most days, often went in for a quick look around.

I remember being intrigued by many odd things in QV, like stair cases that go nowhere. Our DJs used to have a flower show but I don't know if they do it any more. There is much renovation happening in our store. Can Angus have a haircut? His fur looks so thick and hot.
ReplyDeleteWhen they redid the QVB there was a heritage order on it so a lot of things couldn't be changed so I think that's why there are odd bits.
DeleteAngus hair falls out in spring and summer very slowly so the coat is not so thick and he is always kind of fluffy after a bath.
Merle.............
What a lovely display of flowers...very pretty..
ReplyDeleteA lovely day out indeed.
It was a great day out.
DeleteMerle...........
Hello Merle, Beautiful displays of flowers. The arrangements in the stores are lovely. Lunch with the pigeons Looks like fun and I like Angus, he is cute. Great series from your outing! Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteYou too, are you cooling down in your part of the world.
DeleteMerle..............
WHOA. If you had not posted the pic in context near PEOPLE, I would have thought these arrangements to be much, much smaller. These are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThey are quite big and the ones on the windows are bigger still but there are no people in there.
DeleteMerle..............
Wonderful pics of your lovely day out, thanks for sharing ! As we live in the bush we don't get down to Sydney very often but I loved seeing all the gorgeous flowers and the spectacular QVB. Cheers, Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of the bush are you in.
DeleteThe beer fairy comes from Eugowra in the central West.
Merle.................
That is splendid cement work! And what a fabulous setting you show us!

We expected it to be rope, but when you get close you see its cement.
DeleteMerle.............
It looks like you had a nice time at the flower show. What interesting flowers these are, and have never seen some of them before. That picture of the bed of purple flowers is so pretty. I love the tree in Hyde park - it looks very old. And some lovely designs in this grand building.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead, Merle.
love, ~Sheri
You don't see a lot of these flowers every day but there are common ones too, they all go well together, I think the tree in Hyde part is a fig, they are huge trees.
