Sunday lunch at Vaucluse House = going back in time = Sunday Selections ...

The beautiful Vaucluse House was built in the early 1900s by

William Charles Wentworth.

Us three generations initially went for high tea ...

the wafting aromas food enticed us to choose lunch instead...

Chicken, Fennel & Morrocan Spices ...

two of us chose crispy flathead fillets, handcut chips and aioli ...

both scrumptious and arrived piping hot ...

pink camellias hung from huge thick ancient branches ...

this gorgeous Norfolk Pine with branches that caressed the ground ...

a blue eyed goat looked fat and happy ...

 tree roots cut through the earth for metres and metres away from the trunk

stables ooozed history ...

we peeked through windows at the lavishness of the era ...

rain started ... we fled for shelter ...

more tree pics tomorrow.

More Sunday Selections await you at Kims.

Sunday Selection =Trees = nature = textures = textiles ...

Look at how gorgeous this bark is ...

This gorgeous tall Norfolk pine exists on one of Sydney's busiest, dirtiest arterial roads ...

yet look at the trunk ...

looking as if Botany Road is killing it from the outside ...

yet the baby pines show nature is defying humanity ...

another beautiful trunk in Petersham ...

looking wounded on one side ...

while the elephant feet base oozes over the gutters edge ...

isn't nature beautifully amazing? 

More Sunday Selections are waiting for you at Kim's ...

Sunday Selections ... the park at the end of my road ...

There's a park at the end of my road ...

every time I pass ...

I marvel at how it could eve be in a land far away ...

the weekend cricketers ...

the bending, falling trunk ...

Aussie flora alongside rose bushes ...

the tranquility ...

an ageless tree ...

sometimes an urge to skip!

Go on ...
