On the way to the bus this morning, these tiny pink flowers among purple leaves, nestled at the base of a tree, caught my eye.

Big brother
Early morning shadows in a picture perfect street in Leichhardt. This fine example of Federation domestic architecture appears at risk of being engulfed by it’s younger sibling. Passers by receive a blank stare from a grey cuboidal blockhead and shoulders as they rise from behind the terracotta roof.

Sunshine in the gloom
A little yellow and orange brings sunshine to an otherwise dreary grey day.
Iron Cove, Sydney, Australia.
Why grey?
For a number of years it has been popular to paint your house grey. I wonder if this pair of houses would look different if the mouldings on the house on the right were picked out in a contrasting colour or shade. I personally prefer the colour palette used on the left, what do you think?
More than a tree
Clustered Solomonic columns,
Writhing; frozen in fibrous form.
Weatherworn-grey strips fall away;
Presenting rich Indian red.
Serene sentinel stands, solemn;
Confetti-strewn leaves all around.
Tree, Sydney, Australia.
Winter show
Drifting, floating on the breeze,
Come to rest high in the trees.
Sitting soft, held aloft,
Among the gold, falling leaves,
Gentle gust; limp ribbon weaves.
Relief from grey; colours glow,
Sad to see them deflate, slow.
Once a joy filled play toy:
Red; yellow; pink; orange; green;
Rainbow hues can still be seen.
