SUNRISE IN THE CITY

"At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding." - Norman Maclean

BIRDBATH

Euryops is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. They are native mostly to rocky sites in southern Africa, with a few species in other parts of Africa and on the Arabian Peninsula. They produce daisy-like flowerheads from fern-like foliage. The name Euryops is probably a contraction of the Greek words ευρυς (eurys) meaning 'wide,' and ὄψις (opsis) meaning 'eye,' possibly referring to the large flowerheads compared to the narrow leaves.

SUMMER RAIN

We've had a bout of subtropical weather here in Melbourne in the last couple of days and it's been quite humid and wet. It has flummoxed quite a few drivers who seem to bee driving a little more erratically than usual - add to that the multitude of infrastructure and road projects all over the city, and it's not a pleasant drive on our roads anymore...

SOUTHBANK AT NIGHT

Promenading, watching the coloured lights of the City reflected in the Yarra River, wining and dining in the multitude of cafés and restaurants, and living the dolce vita oblivious to all else happening elsewhere...

IN OUR GARDEN

It takes a lot of work to keep a garden green and flourishing, but it is worth it in the end when you see the great results of your toil. No pain, no gain...

DOGGIE DIP

The Darebin Parklands are a popular spot for dog walkers, all the more so on a hot Summer's day when the creek provides a perfect place for hot dogs to have a cooling dip in!
