another trip to the eastern suburbs on a moody stormy day

If you lived in the house below the views would be yours

all the long distance shots are at the extreme end of my cameras range so not so clear

Rose Bay wharf and surrounds with view toward the city

things from this week

i was kindly invited to join a small group of photographers and had to run up a few black and white photos.

i did some of a statute in a garden and some of a tiny flower that is a ground cover /weed in a few gardens locally. i did more but wont bore with them all

if you look closely u can see a tiny face on this flower

this is the weed flower with the background sort of blacked out.

kind of makes the tiny white flowers glow

these two photos are of some family crockery with a background of my 

paternal grandmothers receipe book

dog looking suspicious of what is behind her on the street

i did a bit of soap yesterday.....Magic Hour is the blue one 

Strawberry and Vanilla is the pink one.

Both smell fabulous

at the school

a trip to the Eastern suburbs of Sydney to be measured up for handmade shoes that will cost more than the debt of a small nation (but are essential for my poor feets) allowed me to take a few side tracks to a couple of my favourite places.......Watsons Bay and its wharf area and Bondi beach. Both places helped create my old skin because i spent many days there both asleep when working nights or awake and consciously turning like a pig on a spit. no wonder i have had an early melanoma .

anyway my son who was recovering from surgery and my dog who goes where the car goes

......came for the ride.

the photos are not so good but they at least show the area of our beautiful harbour.

city backdrop

The photos taken from "the Gap" illustrate the long drop from the cliff top to the rocks below 

which made it a popular spot to suicide.
