Travellers

People crossing Sandridge Bridge, past The Travellers (those big moveable, metallic sculptures running down the left side of the bridge)

Brown

Why is the Yarra so brown and opaque lately? Yes, I know it's always brown, but on a sunny day under blue skies, it usually appears blue. What's going on?

Promenade

Nice and shady walking along the Southbank Promenade past the casino

Redevelopment

Work continues on the Myer store between Bourke and Little Bourke Streets

365(ish) days later...

Well, I'm back in Melbourne now and my year of daily photo posting is over and done with. I feel like I've achieved something - I'm proud of myself for seeing it through and it's nice every now and then to look back through my year in pictures - but I'm also glad it's over.

This afternoon walking home I thought, "Oh, I haven't taken a photo today yet!" and then I remembered I don't have to. I admit it was a relief.  The past couple of months I've found it increasingly difficult to find fresh fodder for the blog. Has it shown?  

But it's not the end of the blog! As I mentioned before I went on holidays, I'll still take my camera everywhere with me, but I won't necessarily "go looking" for a photo to post every day.

This year, I want to try to take more photos of people, and maybe - maybe - more self-portraits. We'll see...

Thanks every one for reading (looking?) and for all your wonderful complimentary comments. I'm still just a beginner at this photography thing, so the feedback has been much appreciated.

On the way to airport...

Little blue boat at the marina

Looking back towards town. Farewell grey Port Macquarie.

Lizards a-plenty

I saw at least one lizard most days up at mum's, but this was the biggest and best of the lot - a goanna climbing a tree beside the Ellenborough River. While we watched, a kookaburra and another bird dive bombed it, so we think it was trying to get at the birds' nests. We could hear a baby kookaburra up in the trees.  (The rest of the lizards were skinks about 20-30 cms long warming themselves on the paving at mum's)
