The Great Ocean Road

Whoohoooo, road trip! For Christmas Mr Gaucho and I were given tickets for a trip along the Great Ocean Road. We had the sunset tour, which meant we left Melbourne around 11 am and got home very late indeed!

Here's a photographic record of our day. The Great Ocean Road, and for me, it was all about the waves. They were glorious!

The colourful feathers of a rosella.

We had the opportunity to walk through a bit of rain forest, with its towering Myrtle Beech trees and tree ferns.

Mr and Mrs Gaucho were here!

Pizza delivery for the Twelve Apostles! These limestone stacks are a huge attraction. Cameras clicking all over the place.

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!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
