Time to work
Mostly quiet; purring of the engine,
Pierced by one voice.
Headphones, immaculate dark brown hair,
Golden tan, short back and sides, dark grey jersey.
“You got muscle?”
Heads down phones out.
“She played for UNSW”
Seven polygons overlaid in the round below the thumb.
Blue denim shirt, cream chinos and sandy coloured hair.
“Big crowds expected” states the jumping video screen.
Heavy gold links encircle a slim young wrist.
“Almost two years, nice!”
Raindrops on glass,
Wipers have stopped.
Wet umbrella at my feet.
An annoying fly.
“Julie, see you around, my name’s Brad!”

Jacaranda shadows
This jacaranda’s flower buds are about to burst forth, Petersham Park, Sydney, Australia. The tree’s branch system is a twisting and tortured sight. I like the shadows on the grass; I have accentuated them with a noir filter.
Elder Xanthorrhoea
I posted a picture of our potted grass tree’s flower spike here it is about 1.8 metres high. In comparison, I took the above photo at work this week, this amazing spike reaches over 3 metres!
Good morning, blossom
The title could just as easily read good evening, blossom too.
Bargain price
Floppy poppies
In nature’s garish hues.
Triffid buds extend, hairy curlicues.
Bright anemone-like stamens entice
Tendrils shivering towards your voice,
Tantalisingly,
Audrey purrs, “feed me’s”.
Humming tree
There were three trees in the backyard when we moved in almost one year ago. The tree fern was already dead, the pine tree quickly followed, and the ficus-like one above had been heavily pruned. For the past couple of weeks bees have been busily collecting from clusters of creamy white flowers. The humming sound and being showered with pollen while sitting at the table below has been a rare treat.
Effervescent Barbarella bubbles
As a child I spent hours drawing organic shapes then filling them with circles. The above is an example of the technique I drew over a few days in Paper 53 for iPad. I started with the basic shape, the rest evolved as I progressed.
The following ideas popped into my head as I quietly looped:
- Mathmos lava lamps
- PseudoIsochromatic Plates
- Scaled Rarasaurus
- Globular liquid
- Emulsified oil
- Magmatic water
- Effervescent Barbarella bubbles
- Blogosphere
- Foaming
- Stony riverbed
- Chained
- Chain stitch
Mahatma Gandhi
A week after being laid to commemorate Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s birthday, these flowers like the memory of this extraordinary man shine brightly. More commonly known as ‘Mahatma’ (meaning ‘Great Soul’) Ghandi was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, in North West India, on 2nd October 1869. I took this photograph after reading Non-violence day and insult of “Rastra pita” by Sourav Adhikari. I recommend you check it out.
35oC Spring day
Luckily there was a breeze and relatively low humidity, so quite comfortable in the shade. The clocks have gone forward one hour for Australian Eastern Daylight Time, luckily it is a public holiday tomorrow, what with the more soaring temperatures and all. Just in case you are wondering Sydney is GMT +11 hours.
