Weed proliferation blankets any bare ground. It's still warm enough and wet enough for seeds to germinate rampantly; in the vegie garden a local variety of lettuce I let seed each year is germinating now. For a long time I thought of lettuce as a summer vegetable, but here in sub-tropical Queensland it does best in the cooler months.
Big spider webs are thinning out in the garden, but this one caught some early morning light. Over winter the big spiders seem to hibernate, not sure if that is technically correct, but there's a distinct absence of the large webs during winter.
This mornings sky was clear and blue with warming sunlight, clouds built up in the afternoon, but it's taken till 5pm for cooler air to be felt in the house. Strong winds of last week have abated making it very pleasant to be outdoors. 22 degrees today and 12 forecast overnight.

Lettuce is frost tolerant and grows here in winter! I was surprised to find this as they freeze so easily in the fridge.
