Hello, I created this blog because Melbourne is my city and I want people to see what a beautiful place it is. So come with me on a journey of discovery as we traverse the dining precincts, the culture, the laneways and hidden gems that make Melbourne marvellous.

Garden Urns

Grecian or Roman?
Don't you just love the warm earthy tones with a touch of the rustic about them? I do and these wonderful examples are at our local nursery. And yes, that is water springing forth from the urn in the right foreground. I tried for a better shot but as there is a high wire fence around this section, I had to hold the camera between the wire "squares".

Such beautiful textures! I love them too.

Not only wonderful colors, but such pleasing shapes...and the wire fence at the back of the shot adds to the richness of the composition. And, as always, a brilliant quote to go with the image.

Great photo - and yes, these colors are much more desirable than white, grey, yellow etc.!

sadly, space is an issue.
