Splish Splash
I was walking from the car park towards Main Street in Croydon when I spotted this beautiful art on the brick wall of a shop.

What's The Time Mister Wolf?

 

Tick tock tick tock
Or should that be tock tick tock tick? This arty clock is on the roof of the Woolworth's Supermarket at Croydon, an outer Melbourne suburb. Note the metal "leaves" and how they have been incorporating bringing a garden feel to the design. This is reflected in the choice of colours too.

Autumn Glory

The fiery reds of Autumn
I love the glorious colours of Autumn and was so taken with the beauty and colour of these trees when I was driving down a local street visiting a family member, I just had to stop and get out. The silver bit in the bottom right hand corner is my car. The Acer Palmatum (Japanese Maple) is one of the most beautiful trees, especially in Autumn when the leaves turn a rich, fiery orange-red. Unfortunately, the tree was so large, I wasn't able to get the whole tree in the photo. But here's another shot below -

These streets are in one of our outer suburbs not far from the Dandenongs - you can see the Dangenong Ranges in the distance at the top of this street near the main road. Photos taken 16th May this year.
