I spotted these brilliant flowering gums in the car park of my local library today and - I'm ashamed to admit - my camera wasn't with me (still home on the desk after uploading shots taken over the weekend), so snapped this with my Samsung Galaxy S iphone.
These shots were the result of a decision, with my friend, to go for a walk in a local park despite a forecast of inclement weather. We got damp, not drenched, and it turned into a sunny, blue-skied day after all.
Taken through the window of a car on the move, New Year's Eve several years ago - it seemed to me at the time as if an explosion had occurred on the horizon.
(This is Jessie, my Shih-Tzu/Lhasa Apso cross, who was 7 months old when this snap was taken - she has since had her first clip and will be 1 year old in 3 weeks' time)
These tree reflections in a rather large puddle caught my attention recently in a nearby creekside park while my friend and I dodged some showers on our photographic outing, before heading off to a delightful local cafe for a hot chocolate!
