Conkers

"Conkers" from the liquid amber tree.
Cockatoos and galahs love to munch these and succeed in making quite a mess in the process.

Gate Shadows

Shadows cast by this gate at Mornington seem to re-invent the gate style, bending it in a different direction.

Amoeba

Sign on a car parked at Balnarring shopping centre.
As Amoeba Music is an independent music chain in the U.S.,
I was surprised to see this logo on a car in Australia.
Perhaps the car owner was a tourist who visited the Hollywood store?

Relax

A sheltered outdoor barbecue is a great place to relax and enjoy some friendly company.
This one at Seawinds Gardens atop Arthurs Seat mountain - great sea views -  is popular on weekends.

Play

Kite flying and bike riding are a great way to merge play and exercise.
This photo was taken earlier this year on the Rosebud foreshore.

play
nourishes the mind with
happiness



And this is an invitation to play with fantasy and fun - at the Hastings festival earlier this year.

Drop Off

A sign on the Hastings foreshore on Westernport Bay.
The small beach seems to have shallow waters, but very quickly the waters deepen.
That explains why these boats seem to be moored so close to the beach area.

there's more to a brick...

Little house at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
The street side brick fence line is an unusual style.
But more unusual is how the fence continues down the driveway and becomes a garden border.
The neighbour's wrought iron fence makes a wonderful contrast.
