Timms Avenue is a straight 900 metres between Pascoe Avenue and Ervin Road. It has footpaths on both sides and is slightly undulating.


Colourful flowers dominate this walk and several azalea bushes were alive with masses of flowers and a visual delight.


By contrast, a red and a white camellia almost looked lonely against its bush's green leaves.



It is certainly daisy season and a large variety and colours dominated many gardens. Particularly attractive were several patches in full sun with the background in shadow.




A daisy of a different kind was encountered - a Maltese shih tzu named Daisy. Not as colourful as her namesake, but friendly despite showing her teeth.


Daisy was not the only doggie going for a walk, many others, also with their owners were afoot, or should that be apaw.


Another animal seen was a Bunning's bear attached to a fence, smiling despite being hung up.


Two orange Chinese lanterns brightened up one garden, as did a nice hibiscus bush.


Even brighter was a large patch yellowy-orange freesias.


The magpies seen on this walk preferred to sit in trees or on television antennas. One crow preferred the top of a give way sign, while another preferred the road before flying away.






Many people without dogs were out walking, their striding indicting exercise rather than sight-seeing. Some preferred a bicycle for their exercise.



Individual flowers were represented by an agapanthus and an iris.




A large patch of purple lavender looked attractive as did the overall verdant colour of a large euphorbia bush.





A couple of wattlebirds were seen, both on overhead wires and tree branches. Surprisingly, no noisy miners were seen.


A bird of a different colour was spotted in one garden, a metal pink flamingo. A windmill featured in another garden.





A colourful example of a red bottlebrush caught my eye as did a bright red group of flowers.




Many picket fences were seen which give properties a friendly feeling, where brick fences look and are a barrier. Picket fences also give an escape route for many flowers and bushes.




With spring upon us, many trees that have been dormant during winter are bursting into life, full of blossoms.


An enjoyable walk in a well-established suburb.
