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 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

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.

Week 78
L - Finders Keepers Market - I headed to the wonderful Finders Keepers craft market or should I say Indie craft market. A large shed or warehouse in Melbourne's Docklands crammed full of creative goodness. Needless to say I found and kept plenty of good stuff. Sadly not one of these retro lamps...they are super cool though.
R - Dog Days - This week I took some photos for my friend Julia who owns Bark Slope Salon in Park Slope, Brooklyn. This was the 12 o'clock, who had the best expression whilst standing in the tub!

Week 77
L - Thinking of Japan - I bought this Tokyo cut out postcard this time last year when I visited Japan, and I have been thinking a lot about the place. I really did fall in love with the country and the people and I feel so bad for those who lost their lives and/or homes. Anyway, I googled the Japanese flag and held the postcard up to the screen...ta da...this weeks pic.
R - On the D - I took my camera (and fisheye) to work this morning with the intention of getting some shots of the building I work in, but snapped this on the train instead. I mostly enjoy the reflection.

Week 76
A special dog posting this week, big love to Zak x
L - Old Man Zak - We got some sad news about our 17year old dog Zak the other day and we don't expect him to be around for too much longer. The vet found a tumour in his abdomen, for now he is all good and eating and jumping around like a fool when its time for a walk. It is to be expected I guess at his age. We are enjoying our time with him and spoiling him rotten for the time being. This week is dedicated to the old boy :-)
R - She's a maniac, maniac on the floor...So we are looking after little Meche (Cesar's mum's dog), she's hilarious and loves to play dress up HA! It was hard to choose between this photo and another shot from when she made herself comfortable on the bed after I stripped it to take to the laundromat. Meche means little tuft of hair in Spanish, which is very appropriate, but I've had to practice my Spanish as she doesn't really get english or just enjoys ignoring me. Ooooh and we've recently discovered that if she isn't a Chinese Crested Powder Puff, she has some in her (oooooer). Someone told us about the breed, and then we met one on the street last night and she definitely has the characteristics of a powder puff - silly name! I only knew of the hairless dogs, but apparently there's a recessive gene and in every litter there are some powder puffs shazzam!
