I was going to go the Melbourne Flower & Garden Festival as my regular Friday afternoon outing but the thunder, lightening and heavy rain put a stop to that. But I was itching to go out and take some photos so after one particularly heavy rainful I thought I’d go and practice two things I’d…

I spent a lovely Melbourne Autumn afternoon at the Melbourne zoo recently, and in particular the Butterfly House. I hope the selection I’ve chosen for you to see.

Another plane from WWI – thanks to Liz from the AWM – this plane is an Albatros D.Va

Australian War Museum: Kitty Hawk Fighter Plane
