At the 'G'.

You can see a Sheffield Shield match going on.

Purple Bouganvillea in a St Kilda backyard

How beautiful is this? The plant, not me silly!

Apparently this plant started as a tiny cutting.

Wow!

Bird of Paradise

This is a Bird of Paradise flower.

Cool, eh?

Working on Saturday

Moreton Bay Fig

This magnificent Moreton Bay fig is just behing my flat.

You get occassional flying foxes roosting at night in it, and from the look of it, children.

Actually, when I think of it, you'll see secondary school students before school on their way to the next doot school. Latr in the day, there's preschool kids going walkies with their parents and/or grandparents; there'll be workers having lunch their at midday under the tree; after school kids play on their way home; early evening kids will be playing and lots of people will be picknicking next to the tree; in the evening, there'll be teenagers sitting in the tree smoking and drinking, and an occassional homeless person will sleep there with the bats at night.

So although it looks quiet, it's actually quite busy....

Another St Kilda sign

It's hot here tonight in St Kilda. Flies galore..UGH!

Sweet!

Remember the Myer's fire?

We'll, they're rebuilding!

I took this pic from Little Bourke Street amidst dust (say those last two words five times fast...!)

Very busy building bees...

Feeling Peaky...

Feeling a bit off today. Must be the asthma and hot weather...

Thistle lost..

A bit down after the weekend defeat.

'Sigh'

Melbourne Sky

Melbourne has trams - as you can see from this pice - but sometimes they
make nice pics with the clouds...

A sunset

Hope you like this pic.

I took it last Thursday after choir rehearsal. I was chatting outside
and saw this sunset - it's just gorgeous!

Summer is here!

Seeing I have had a lot of comments about this blog, I've decided to
keep it going so all of my friends can see what I get up to on a daily
basis..

This is a picture of Sunday morning on my way to church. There's a
sports field behind where I live, and in summer they play cricket.

A lot of Indian students live in the area, and they're all cricket mad.

Anyhow, I thought this was a very typical Australian picture - the
light, the introduced tree, the architecture in the background and, of
course, sport.
