Picture-A-Week 2023 - Week 20

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, May 15 and Sunday, May 21.

 

Life can be busy. The days fly by and at the end of the week we sometimes struggle to remember where that chunk of our lives went. Thake a few minutes to photograph something that interested you or made you smile.

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

I have spoken before of my appreciation for whimsical things. Things that provoke thought or just make you smile are more "art" to me than a giant canvas randomly spattered with paint or a stack of twisted metal that people fawn over, so you think they are sophisticated and find meaning in it. A while ago, our friends introduced us to the Violet Rooster, a breakfast & lunch café that has become a favorite with its combination of eclectic decor, friendly staff and flat-out wonderful food. With mismatched tabletops, unusual art on the walls, the odd things hanging from the ceiling and bits like the Cactisaurus pictured here, the decor is a delightful mishmash that just makes you smile. Hiding from a harsh world and having good food surrounded by whimsy is a good thing.

I live on the corner of Douglas Parade. About 2km along is the very nice Pint of Milk Cafe.

In the last few months they have had this mural painted. it reminds me of my childhood back in Perth. A few hundred metres away was the Healey's stables. They used to deliver the milk to all the houses with their horses and carts.

Since many like cute dogs, here is a visual update for our Aussie Labradoddle, Lizzie.  Still growing and liking to explore and be active at age 6.5 months.:

Plus, as a bonus, here is a recent backyard floral happening.:
