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!

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.
