DAISY SULPHATE

A digital collage of gerberas and daisies on copper sulphate (blue vitriol) crystals. I'm starting to see lawn daisies come up even though it's midwinter! Very strange weather we're experiencing...

HEAT!

Tomorrow we are expecting a maximum temperature of 44˚C in Melbourne. That is hot, but in the Northern Victorian towns of Mildura, Ouyen, Echuca, up to 48˚C... Some are predicting a record breaking 49˚C!

A photoshop collage reminding ourselves to keep cool and hydrated and "Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide", which is an expanded Australian sun safety campaign from the Cancer Council designed to prevent skin cancer. It encourages 5 steps: Slip on clothing, Slop on SPF30+ sunscreen, Slap on a hat, Seek shade, and Slide on sunglasses, particularly when the UV index is 3 or higher.

YULETIDE

Yule or Yuletide ("Yule time" or "Yule season") is a festival observed by the historical Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected with it the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht. It later underwent Christianised reformulation resulting in the term Christmastide. Holly and mistletoe are symbols of Yule.

Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are used in the Nordic countries for Christmas with its religious rites, but also for the holidays of this season. Today Yule is also used to a lesser extent in the English-speaking world as a synonym for Christmas. Present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from pagan Yule. Today the event is celebrated in Heathenry and some other forms of Modern Paganism.

LIGHT SHOW

When you have no tripod and  the camera slips from your hand after you've pressed the shutter button! I superimposed the same image enlarged and flipped in Photoshop. Just for fun. This was a photo of the road with cars going by our house at night.

RAINY NIGHT

It's been raining on and off all day today and it's quite cold. The rain persisted in the evening and it's raining tonight as I'm posting this. A classic image of wintry Melbourne today, composed of four separate photos assembled into a Photoshop collage.

AUTUMN BERRIES

As the rains come, and the mosses and liverworts awaken, the berries ripen in the forests and gardens. Pyracantha with the unusual bright yellow berries (usually red and orange) and the cheerful red haws of the hawthorn (always a happy find). Add the errant flower of a canola plant and the rich green of some of the evergreen trees seen between the branches of a deciduous tree.
