Stopping to smell the roses

I don't usually get too excited about flowers, but when these gorgeous specimens bloomed in our front yard, I thought I would be remiss if I didn't capture the loveliness.  When I arrived home from work the other day, I literally stopped and smelled the roses as I was walking to the front door.  Sometimes it's just the little things :)

I picked up Jules, Bruce and Billy T from the airport this morning.  Hopefully we'll have a week of fun to look forward to, scheduled around the necessary work stuff.  We're planning to check out Monarto Zoo, maybe have a swim in one of the big indoor pools, drive up to the Adelaide Hills, and tomorrow we're having a Christmas in (almost) July dinner!
