September 1 is celebrated as Wattle Day in Australia. Our gardens and forests are awash with the quintessential Australian bloom of wattles in spring.

This photo of a dam bordered by wattles in full bloom was taken on September 1. Happy Wattle Day!

Sadly, the storms earlier this week on the night of September 1, caused damage to many trees in our area including the trees in this photo. The photo below was taken on September 2. Sad Wattle Day!
