Make'n honey

This busy little worker was totally oblivious to my camera.




The photo was taken in the National Rhododendron Garden in Melbourne, Victoria. We visited the park for a lovely picnic lunch with friends. It was a gorgeous sunny day and this little fella just went about his business, from one flower to the next, collecting his nectar.

Explain yourself...

"Well, you see officer, it's like this..."


I snapped this picture while walking in the Melbourne CBD. Don't you just love the contrast in this picture - a punk rocker with his cello?

Visiting the Dandenongs

Early one March morning in 2008 I took my son on a day trip to the Dandenong Mountains just east of Melbourne, Victoria. It was a crisp, cool morning, with clear skies and clean air. We left the house just as the sun started to rise and explored a very beautiful part of Victoria.

We travelled east along Burwood Highway, turned right onto the C412 then right again on the winding Selby-Aura Road. Old Menzies-Creek Rd then took us all the way to the Cardinia Reservoir where we stopped a while at Henley Park.
