I have no idea what this flower is, it is daisy-like. It was growing as a wild flower in the local park. Thought it really beautiful. Do you agree? If you know what it is, please do let me know too.

Melbourne Art Trams
Melbourne is currently having an Arts Festival in the city, and eight of our trams have been painted to celebrate the event. Many of Melbourne’s trams are well decorated anyway, so I decided to spend a couple of hours and managed to see four of the eight but saw lots of others that were colourful…
2014 Dandenong Ranges Calendar available
Well, it will be in a couple of weeks. Sneak preview below. The calendar will be available approx Mid October, perhaps sooner. Happy to take advance orders and will post as soon as it’s arrived. I was thrilled with the interest in my first one for 2013 and look forward to sharing it with many…
Beautiful Serendip Sanctuary
Being introduced to this sanctuary on such a beautiful spring day was just perfect. It showed off the place in the best possible way. It was so serene and beautiful and uniquely Australian. If you’ve never visited Australia, or have only visited our cities, then you are truly missing out on the beauty and splendour…
Crested Terns
While at Ricketts Point on Saturday I noticed a number of birds perched on rocks out beyond the rock pools. One of the other photographers headed out that way, his focus was on other things rather than the birds. They all took off into the air and headed in my direction, which was really nice…
Photowalk at Ricketts Point, Beaumaris
Have you heard of Meetup? A great site that is an avenue for organising tons of meetups between people with similar interests. I belong to four different photography meetup groups, two of which I am co-organiser for. On Saturday just gone the other co-organiser planned a photography meet up to take place at Ricketts Point,…
More birds for the Gallery
I’ve been building up a Gallery of the bird life I find in a couple of parks not far from my home. Birdsland Reserve, funnily enough, not named for its inhabitants, but rather for the family that used to own the land, by the name of ‘Bird’, and secondly Lysterfield Park. You’ll find the two…
While in the city…
we ventured upon a fashion parade in the city square. It was for the Lord Mayor’s Student Welcome. Naturally we all stopped to try our hands at model photography.
A walk through Melbourne
While on the photowalk a few weeks ago we wandered along lanes, inside malls and explored the architecture, the people, the atmosphere. Here are some of the architectural views I took.
Visiting the city
Been a busy month this month and while I’ve been taking photos I haven’t always had time to go through them and process them all. Hoping to catch up on that this weekend. In the meantime, thought you might like to see a shot I took on a photowalk in Melbourne earlier in the month….
Popular with dogs too
Regular visitors at Birdsland Reserve include dogs and their owners. Quite a variety of dogs and most are very happy looking and obviously love their time at the park. I’m tempted to do a study of the dogs there 🙂 Here are a small selection of them. And this one was taken in much warmer…
The birds at Birdsland Reserve
It’s been colder, wet and windy, and I don’t get out to walk every day. I run a full time business and sometimes I have to go to morning meetings, or have a client visit. And if I don’t get out to walk in the morning it’s highly unlikely I’ll find time later in the…
