HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

An image created from several photos (including the view from my window and some jack-o-lanters), and also some silhouettes from clipart (no, it's not a real witch!), with the help of Photoshop.

ROSE SEASON

The roses have started to bloom in earnest now, despite a few setbacks with our Spring weather. This is a climbing rose we've had in our garden for decades and it is an unknown hybrid, which was given to us as a cutting by a friend who had no idea what particular type it is.

WEATHER

We get a lot of weather in Melbourne, all year round, but also all of it on one day. Spring is usually a good season to experience all sorts of interesting weather conditions. Like today, which started out grey with showers, then fining up for little and then strong winds, bringing down many trees and causing damage, and then rain... Never a dull moment!
