Winter afternoon

Friday perfection

Camellia japonica in my garden

Hula milk crates

Have a cup of coffee at Cafe Art in Surry Hills, and you could find yourself sitting on a hula milk crate, resting your drink on a double-decker.

It's a new use for all those old vinyl record storage units!

Spring 2 : Poppies in a vase

A huge thank you to my friend, Hainee, who organised for these to be sent to me at home while I recuperate.

Poppies, sweet pea and spring blossom.

Signs of Spring 1: Camellia japonica

"Officially" it's still winter here in Sydney, but the signs of spring are all around me, even in my small suburban garden.

Been confined to barracks lately after a small operation, so garden patrol is about as far as I have roamed.

Afternoon tea

One of the cockatoos which raids the mandarin tree in my backyard. 

Pavilion cafe, Maroubra

Plenty to look at from the corner window seat at this beach cafe. 

Orchid Sunday

Tiger in St Peters

This striking mural adorns the walls of a car smash repair and rust removal workshop in the inner suburb of St Peters.
