Week 82

L - Sunny Skies and Lazy Days - We had an extra long Easter weekend here with a 5 day weekend. We headed for the hills and explored the mountains up at Falls Creek in Victoria. The cooler climate and mountain air brings the best out of the trees around this area and we saw a lovely array of reds, oranges and yellow. I took a heap of photos but this was my fave of the sun just peaking through the yellow leaves


R - The Lone Tulip - There's a patch of dirt in the neighbourhood where the dogs like to pee. Standing there so proudly is this single yellow tulip screaming to have its photo taken - only the strong survive!

Week 81

L - Autumnal Art - I was in the city on the weekend at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and while we were waiting to go into the show we saw people sticking stuff to a wall. Intrigued after the show we went over to the wall and could see that people had been picking up the Autumn leaves and sticking them to the wall. How I hear you say! Well the wall has a very thin flow of water running down it and the leaves were sticking to it without being flushed away. I am not sure if this was some sort of intentional installation or it just happened by chance. You never know in Melbourne.


R - Freedom Tower - Cheating a little this week due to my illness and am using a photo from last weekend. So we went for a wee look see of the new World Trade Center construction - 1 WTC or Freedom Tower (and to Century 21 of course). It looks like it's about 1/3 done and is going to be huge and shiny and awesome. There is also a little museum where you can go and see the plans for the site, it looks like there are going to be several new buildings and 2 reflection pools in the old footprints of the original towers. It looks like it's going to be awesome down there, shame it has taken so long to get the construction started.

Week 80

L - Can you see the man on the moon? - There has been a beautiful crescent moon here for the last week or so and I set up the tripod and shot some pics out the back door of our house. It was a tough choice this week but the simple moon with a couple of stars won.


R - The Red and The Blue -Before I was struck down with a nasty stomach bug, we had a lovely brunch in DUMBO for my birthday. I enjoy the colours in this a lot!

Week 79

L - The Beautiful Mundane - I had planned to shoot some photos in the city this weekend passed...alas housework and the like took over and I didn't quite make it. A good housework day is worth the effort, clean bed sheets rock!! You can also see a hint of my refurbished 60s bedside tables in the shot.


R - Colour! BAM! This past weekend I took mum to the visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the weather was amazing, the cherry blossoms were beginning to flower and the exotic plants were very colourful.
