Beautiful graffiti

I've got a couple more posts to offer on the graffiti of Melbourne.  For this post I have some photos which I hope show the more beautiful aspects of graffiti.
Tools of the trade, and you can just see the sketchbook which is full of brilliant ideas and drawings - the French chap below showed us his work.  It was impressive.  These are not fly by night chancers!
 Union Lane - a graffiti mecca which is full of tourists snapping away with their cameras.
This lady has become a bit of an icon.  She is on the cover of a recently published book 'Flavours of Urban Melbourne'.  Along with all the brilliant cafes this book is everywhere in Melbourne at the moment.
I was hoping to see a koala when I was in Coffs Harbour, because they are in the woods up there, but I think this little chap is the closest I am going to get on this trip.
I love colour and the use of colour is always vivid and quite amazing on the walls of graffiti.

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.  

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

(Not) in a vase on Monday!

The challenge this week, set by Cathy at  https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com to celebrate five years of In a Vase on Monday, was to offer (Not) in a vase on Monday!  So here is my interpretation of that idea with one of my Plant Belles, which I tend to use for things I find and enjoy.  I weave bits and pieces through the metal ribs and keep them until they fall apart, or something even better turns up!  Lichen covered twigs, branches of larch with tiny cones, seed heads, twisted heather stems, anything and everything that has form and beauty.
