Blowing bubbles

I went out geocaching yesterday and came across this painted on the side of a building in Montrose.

Apologies for missing a few days. Got the man flu!

Grand Final Weekend

Early morning ballooning

Just got back from my early morning run when I spotted two of these drifting past me. Looked so nice and peaceful up there.

Sculpture

An interesting sculpture outside our building. It represents the Earth and the plants that give life to her. It was covered in weeds and overgrown until last week but now looks much better.

Hawthorn mosaic

Another amazing mosaic that I spotted on a sidewalk in Hawthorn today. This shot is actually a composite of 5 shots stitched together, so the quality isn't great. I will post the 5 originals at a later date.

Urban Art

This "Urban Apartment" used to be a display in Melbourne. It has now been removed, but it was quite eye catching!

Sun rising, moon setting

Farm road sunrise

Skywatch© Friday - Power Pylons

Sunrise, 6.39am on Saturday 12 September, on a farm road near Coldstream. The glow coming off these pylons was even more spectacular than this photo shows!

The road home

A track in the Warrandyte State Park where I went geocaching last Saturday morning.

Yarra River

A view of the Yarra from Warrandyte State Park. The rain came bucketing down right after I took this shot!

More Spring flowers

More lovely spring flowers photographed last Saturday near Wonga Park.

Spring flowers

Spotted taking over a fence. Does anyone know what they are?

Cows on the hill

Another photo from yesterday's sunrise expedition.

Ducks at sunrise

Got up at 6am this morning to grab some sunrise photos. These ducks were out taking an early morning dip.

Lilydale Lake

Another panorama taken with my new iPhone. This is the view from just outside my office.

Vineyard panorama

My first attempt at a panorama with my new iPhone. The colours came out great!

The view is of the vineyards that belong to our horticulture students on our campus.

Balnarring

Taken at Balnarring Beach on Western Port Bay last Christmas. There are some fantastic beaches along this section of the coastline.

Sweetpeas

My first spring flowers have started to appear. I spotted these sweetpeas last Friday.

The Shot Tower

The 50m high Shot Tower in Melbourne Central.

On the beach

The beach at Port Melbourne with the Spirit of Tasmania ferry in the background.

Fish n Chips

Waiting for our fish and chips in San Remo near Phillip Island

Optimistic Melbourners

Not sure that the Yarra has been this high in many years considering we are in a drought with strict water restrictions!

A burst of colour

A little bit of colour above the brown Yarra River, Warrandyte.

Water tank

An old water tank (still in use) on one of the small holdings in Warrandyte.
