Autumn has arrived, and so far it’s been more summery than summer was – at least here in Melbourne. The orange colours call our attention back to autumn though.

Good things come in threes – or so they say.

Who are ‘they’?
Buds
Curled tightly
Ready to bloom …
Symbolism

Birthday ice-cream.

Pity it was just a photo and not a sample!
Urban scene.
I don’t generally do street photography, but I kind of liked the way the tree divided the scene so clearly.

Despite what it looks like, Tim wasn’t playing hide and seek with the well-dressed men wearing bow ties.

An Insta-meet, a bridge, a beam of sunlight, and a man. All the ingredients for an interesting shot!

Minimalist Friday. It’s the end of the work week for me – well, that’s not actually true now that I think about it. I’ve just started teaching at UTAS again (great big YAY going on inside my head right now) – just one online unit, let’s not get too excited (although I really am) – and as anyone who has taught or studied online knows, there really aren’t any days off.
So I’ll start again … Minimalist Friday. It’s the end of the week and this is what I’m looking forward to over the weekend. Minimalism. A line here, a shadow there … that will be enough for me.

I took this photo on the sly – which isn’t my usual style. I usually like to make sure that my subjects know I’m photographing them … so when I checked it to see what he looked like on camera, I asked if I could take his photo. He shrugged – I’m not sure if he was noncommittal or just didn’t understand me. I asked his name and he shrugged again. I like to think that he didn’t speak English rather than him wanting to ignore me.
But he has a great face, doesn’t he?

There’s another photo of him on my Instagram account.
