Splendour In The Grass

though nothing can bring back the hour
of splendour in the grass
or glory in the flower

Beauty Is Everywhere
[even in the Burbs]


.
.

I could say I took these photos on my past travels through France.. But alas no..
I found these beauties outside a rundown apartment block on my way to visit my tax agent..
Yes .. Even a trip to a tax agent can procure a little beauty if you keep a watchful eye ..
.
.
I've been a little fascinated with this strange sea grass sort of plant. There is a huge glorious frond of these lovelies growing outside of a very expensive home near where I live.. Everytime I drive past I have an urge to stop and take some photos.. but so far haven't had the gumption for fear of being hounded like the paparazzi for invading one's privacy.. maybe if I see the residents I will just ask... So when I saw this bush again walking to my appointment.. out came the camera and a few quick snaps...
.
.
The fact is..
Beauty can be found anywhere if you think to look for it...
.

This post is dedicated to my lovely friend Ange..
.
.

Who's beauty stands bold and clear
to all who cross her path
.

It's My Birthday
.
.


Just two weeks shy of winter and today was a glorious 27c..
The sun was shining.. the birds singing and the kitty kats chasing imaginary butterflies..
... heck so was I ...
.
.

... THEN ...
.
.


.. the sky changed colour...
.
.


.. and the sun took on an eerie glow ..
.
.


The fire brigade decided to back-burn and Sydney was suddenly covered with a smokey haze...
.. of course people complained ..
.
.


But hey not me.. it's my birthday..
And the strange hazy glow allowed me to get these shots
Looking directly into the sun..
.
.


So I Say

It's a Beautiful Day
