This week’s theme is ”Mostly Black” and that’s what this ‘tree trunk’ is … taken in the Royal Botanical Gardens, Cranbourne, Melbourne (a wonderful display of Australian native bushland and flora). Firstly is a close-up of the amazing texture, then the trees themselves.

Photo Hunt – Funny

This week’s theme is ”Funny” and this seemed hilarious at the time of taking the photo. Mum and I hijacked my ex-flatmate’s (and at the time best friend in Melbourne) childhood toy when I moved out of our flat to live on my own. We took him (Bukta the soccer hero) down to St Kilda beach and made up a little beach hammock out of a hankie and two chopsticks – then took photos on my mobile phone and sent them to Frazier with a message saying “Dear Daddy, I am having a wonderful time on holiday with Auntie Anne in Elwood” … Mum and I howled for hours, and Frazier thought it was pretty damned funny too 🙂

This week’s theme is ”Twelve” and my choice is the “Twelve Apostles” on the Great Ocean Road, between Melbourne and Adelaide. If you ever get the chance, it is a wonderful scenic drive along the coast. Alas, one of the Apostles crumbled into the ocean in recent years, so I wonder if it will be renamed the Eleven Apostles 😛

Scenic Sunday

Here is my choice for this week’s Scenic Sunday – in honour of my recent visit last weekend back to Melbourne, this is the St Kilda Pier in Melbourne, a short walk from where I used to live.
