One of our final entries to the Spring Photo Contest is from a first time visitor to Perth. Instead of our own caption, we are just going to let Alison speak for herself.

"I just visited Perth for the first time yesterday. It is so beautiful, especially in spring, when the flowering trees are blooming. The day was sunny with beautiful puffy clouds and deep blue skies.
