Melbourne Day One

I had a very enjoyable first day back in Melbourne, with a visit to one of my favourite places on the planet - South Melbourne Market. It was a bit of a flying visit, while my son did a bit of shopping in Chef's Hat, a restaurant supply store. I will go back next week and have a longer trawl through the market. It is a wonderful place and I LOVE it!

Here are some images from the first day of my holiday, starting with breakfast in a local cafe and ending with a couple of beautiful flowers I saw on my walk to pick up my granddaughter from school in the afternoon.

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.
