Wordless Wednesday Windows (a bit late)

Melbourne in winter.

Image
 I enjoyed a very brief trip to the very fine city of Melbourne not long ago. I always so enjoy the architecture there. A mix of very old stone and brick buildings and often very modern, but mostly always interesting. Here is just a small sample of one of the buildings I walked past mostly every day while out walking, minding the baby for Mummy while she was at a conference. I have been lucky to have a couple of trips lately, and it was fun to catch up with some family too. It was quite cool and brisk weather, as is to be expected there in winter, but it made for some very clear photographs. Here is hoping I will be able to get back here and add some more photos as well in the next post. I just discovered that I haven't resized the rest of the best of them yet. With a slightly broken (fuzzy on one side) laptop screen, editing photos becomes a little laborious!! As does reading any page that takes up a whole page...grrr. Time to set up a monitor, if I am that clever...

at the river

Finally managed to ask for and receive permission to post these photos of someone I know. She is a cutie! In the school holidays, we had a trip to the river to look at the boats, but she really decided she wanted some sand to play on, so we had to go to the ocean, not far away!!

Catching up again, some flora

 the flowers have been delightful lately ..I really enjoy the camellias the azaleas and dahlias the weather has been quite cool for this area of the world....strange after a quick trip to another conference in Melbourne, to come back to very cold temperatures overnight here. Feeling thankful for an air conditioner to turn on to warm the place up in the mornings. Wished I'd got organized for the personal photo challenge of Portraits for this month...awaiting for permission to post certain photos. I know I am a bit slow at these things, sorry!

Banksias

Always enjoying seeing these majestic Banksias , especially along the coast, at the beach! It seems I have been neglecting this blog. Hoping to get back to it slowly. I will have to check out what the next photo challenge is for this month. Unless I have missed it already. I am a little worried it might be on this weekend. Have been busy with babysitting after getting back from New York and Boston.
