The old supported yet,
Consumed by the young.
Nature’s efficiency;
Recycle, renew.
I took this picture in the Daintree Rainforest, Queensland, Australia. I like the transmutation of the background from images to blurred colours as it emphasises the focus of the picture.
Pure white
Five figured proud
Earth light
Far from a cloud
The gymea lilies haven’t started flowering in Sydney yet. I took this photograph at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, in October. I like the part they play in the perspective of this view.
Tantalising
Tendrils
Tickle
I took this photo on the way to the Daintree Rainforest, Queensland, Australia in October.
I know I harp on about growing up in the northern hemisphere, it honed my instincts. The weather in December is usually cold and the holly in the hedgerows appears to gleam next to it’s leafless neighbours.
The colours in this grevillea remind me that I count myself lucky to be able to live in Australia, even if traditions associated with Yule don’t suit the climate.
Is it a trick of the light?
Wishful thinking?
Or a glimpse of an unseen realm?
I like to think this green man or tree spirit allowed me to see him in Petersham Park, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Early evening, late Spring
Distant city, lush green
Peace and quiet, birds sing
Randwick Racecourse, dew sheen
Trees a plenty, Sydney
Australia, for me
I took this picture of wall covering at Gowings Bar and Grill.

Advice for the Young at Heart
Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work?
Too many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls
When we gonna make it work?
I could be happy
I could be quite naive
It’s only me and my shadows
Happy in our make believe
Soon…
And with the hounds at bay
I’ll call your bluff
hey…
Cos it would be okay
To walk on tiptoes everyday
And when I think of you and all the love that’s due
I’ll make a promise, I’ll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We’ve got the whole wide world in our hands
Love is promise
Love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we gonna make it work?
Working hour is over
And how it makes me weep
Cos someone sent my soul to sleep
Working hour is over
We can do anything that we want
Anything that we feel like doing

Rose Bay, Sydney, Australia
I attempted to capture the contrasting hues of the water and the sky in this picture. It was one of those moments when the sun catches the turquoise waters of Rose Bay, Sydney, NSW, Australia; meanwhile malevolent rain clouds gather overhead.
About a third of the way from the left, you can just make out the golden top of Sydney (Centre Point) Tower.
