Thought for the day

Melbourne must be graffiti capital of the world!  This amazing art form is everywhere and we have been wandering the streets and back lanes, seeking it out - which isn't difficult!  Mr Gaucho has taken hundreds of photos of the enormous murals which stretch out along the back walls of so many buildings here.  Some of the alleys are distinctly smelly and dirty but you just have to go for it if you want to find some of the good stuff.

While I certainly admire the ability of the graffiti artist I find the majority of the work to be quite dark and threatening in many ways.  I have tended to photograph some of the more beautiful aspects of the work we have seen.  In this post, though, I thought I would start with some of the more thoughtful graffiti I have seen.

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.
