Forest Glade Garden for Treasure Tuesday

 

Well, I do not own this statue. But I tend to visit this private garden opened in Spring and Autumn. The garden is located in Mount Macedon 1 hour drive from Melbourne.

The statue is a little weird that one dude is staring into another dude's private part. Quite a focus on the facial expression too.

Robotcom in Parhan for treasure Tuesday

 

This was taken 1 year ago. This was a nice event where different types of transformers were moving and lighting up above cargoes.

Abandoned Holden Car for Treasure Tuesday

 

After a busy day, I feel so unmotivated to do my daily walk in the park.

For a while, I had an obsession to photograph old, abandoned car. Kind of treasures for Treasure Tuesday

Silvereye spotted in Cranbourne, Melbourne, Australia

 

Lately, I have been lucky to capture bird photos outside public toilets. Maybe there is something in these loos attracting these birds to them.

Vintage car on street walk in Melbourne for Treasure Tuesday

I recalled this was taken in St Kilda. Love the classic car look.

Long distance drive like 6 hours return day trip is becoming to get me after 10 years. It is bum in seat for that long without actual physical exercises. The weekend outing for nature photography is really the only chance to get fit a bit.

Sutton Grange near Bendigo, Victoria for Sunday Best

 

This was captured in Milkyway season in 2022. I was driving mindlessly in country Victoria. 

There were times that farmers came out of their houses with firearms as if I was trespassing while driving passing by their properties.

Swan in Lake Weeroona Victoria

 

She is always there in my daily walk around the lake. This time she came for a feed. I got nothing to offer her except admiration

And I wish you a merry Christmas and happy festive season from down under!

Creek in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia

 

Water can be so soothing. Xmas is truly a silly mad season. After a spiraling runs of various health issues affecting mum and me, my buddy is going through a crisis in marriage...

It is easier to sit by the creek away from the world

Mural at Box Hill, Melbourne for Mural Monday

 

It is the event of the week - Mural Monday. This mural sat here for a couple of years. It is not conspicuous inside a laneway that no one would dare venture inside here. What is the point of painting a mural then?

Thanks for the acknowledgment for the misadventure yesterday. It was really due to lack of planning and investigation into the area. My pal and I tried to climb the boulder rocky coast which would only surface in the lowest tide. We tried to get to the spot and get out of it within 4 hours. The whole area is covered by snake holes and snake eggs that broke as well. 

I guess I will get back to street candid shots again lol.

There are three "bays of islands" in Victoria, Australia.

This one is most accessible. I am going to come here to test out my new Sony A7RV
