August 2016

Here are my August photos - the one above of my youngest son has taken its place in the Top 10 of my all-time favourites!



And here are some more kookaburra pics:





Who doesn't love a rainbow?



And, last but not least, some exciting news: the 100% Australian stock photo site Austockphoto has just been launched and I am very proud and happy to be a Founding Contributor! You can find my portfolio here.

June 2016

For June's posting a few photos from our recent trip to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland - the gorgeous view over the Glass House Mountains (the kookaburra was enjoying it too):



The walking track through the rainforest at the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve:



A shell on Dicky Beach in Caloundra:



And a colourful flower (as yet still unidentified) near the beach:

May 2016

For May's posting a few more pictures of Melbourne. I love this city!



Old & New, always fascinating:



Lovely art deco window in East Melbourne:



And some more remnants of the past in the CBD:

April 2016

Here in the subtropics we don't see much of autumn, but there are some subtle signs that summer is finally over. The frangipani sheds its leaves (one of the few trees in Brisbane that does), and the fruit of the Taiwanese Rain Tree appears: papery, rose-coloured capsules. Very pretty, but this tree is considered a pest here.



In the street next to ours a Queenslander house is being raised to build living space underneath. Always fascinating to watch:



And I just had to take a photo of this pretty low-set Queenslander cottage with its pink door!



And finally, some birds on a wire. I love the pattern of the crossing lines:

March 2016

A few days late, but here are the photos for March. Colorful beach balls and daring youngsters in Redcliffe:
    

Easter eggs:

 

Nudgee Beach:



And some lovely public art that I almost didn't notice:

February 2016

Well, the 365 project (actually it should be 366) is not going anywhere, so I've decided to turn it into a '12' project: at the last day of every month I will show my favourite photos of the previous weeks. Here they are for February - the photo above is a house I drive past most days. The owner told me that lots of cars (and even trucks and buses) stop so the driver and passengers can take photos. I can see why!

Below is my antique sewing machine with one of my vintage quilts:
