Red Earths

Red earths/sands are a feature of Cranbourne Botanical Gardens to symbolise the outback, central Australia areas!
The garden specialises in native plants.
This particular area is referred to as the Red Sand Garden, a design feature of the Australian Garden opened in 2006.
More details HERE!


Some natural reds
Like sands from old surfaces
Dry beauty's presence

Faces of Danger

Sign at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens


In the undergrowth
Silent slithering danger
For snakes share these paths

There's bullies at large
Preying on innocent blood
Like poisonous snakes

In society
Devious propaganda
Cold snakes share these paths

The danger of life
Is failing to beware snakes
Exciting challenge

It's a Green World

Lots of green tones in this corner of the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens


Green palms and ivy
Some bowing eucalypt boughs

Like a Gallery

These three signs are part of a collection of signs outside the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens entrance.
They look like a wall of an outdoor gallery!


Magical garden

Beware Lightning!

I have not seen a sign like this before.
It is on the pillars of a tall tower structure at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens.
At the top of the tower you get views to the Dandenong Mountains and the valleys in between.


These are the stairs to the look out.
I did not climb the stairs.
I could appreciate the view from below.

Beware climbing heights
Hazard of a stunning view

Low Light

Morning skies near the "red garden" at the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens


Low bundles of cloud
Like cumbrous burdens of light
Like darkening moods

Beetles for Breakfast!

This sign is at Cranbourne Botanical Gardens.
I love how a serious message is presented in a funny way.
The Southern Brown Bandicoot is an endangered species of bandicoot.
More information HERE!


Little bandicoot
Some think it looks like a rat
But it's just so cute

Talent

At first, this seems to be just a view through a doorway.
But then the door opens outwards.
And there's an odd, free standing frame.
Actually, there are many frames, like a half complete house, right in the middle of a garden.
Each one offers different perspectives of the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens.
Great for photography!


Connecting ideas
Where indoor becomes outdoor
Creative talent

Botanic Artist

Unexpected sign at the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
I don't think that I have ever seen a sign concerning a botanic artist.
It even includes a reference to Ferdinand Bauer - not well known - who accompanied Matthew Flinders in his famous journey round Australia in the early 19th century.
There are many memorials on my peninsula to Matthew Flinders - he landed here in several places - but I don't recall any memorial to Bauer.


The art of detail
Historical glimpse of Nature
Fine accuracy
