Seven Sculptures, A boy, A poem
Jack and I decided to head to Sassafras today. It’s a long weekend thanks to the Footy Finals, the weather was perfect for outdoor activities, and honestly, we just felt like getting away for a bit. It had been a while since we visited Sassafras, and this time we stumbled upon the Tanglewood Gallery and…
It is nearly Spring…

Tuesday StreetArt Hosier Lane – 59
HOSIER LANE, MELBOURNE Some may find these art pieces unappealing due to its chaotic nature. However, Hosier Lane serves as a canvas for artists to express themselves without constraints. Here, there are no rules—only the freedom to create. The murals are dynamic, evolving weekly or even daily. I am also posting this for Becky’s Seven…

Chess is a strategic board game that dates back over a thousand years. Here are 7 pieces from an Oriental Chess Board. I am linking this to Debbie’s Six Word Saturday and Becky’s Seven in September.
Seven Scooters & Seven Helmets
Though they may appear bright and convenient, these electric scooters on Melbourne’s roads can be quite frustrating. Their presence leads to unpredictability, making navigation, commuting or even just plain walking more challenging. But the positive side of this is saving on petrol. So I guess we just have to bear with it for the greater…
Seven Cows in Barcelona, Lisbon, Porto
Ale-Hop is a Spanish retail chain offering a diverse range of quirky and creative gifts, gadgets, and home décor. It is owned by Vicente Grimalt and on one of his travels he saw a show featuring numerous animals but was particularly struck by a cow. Inspired, he bought a cow and placed it at the…
It’s been Seven Years
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since Tim left Melbourne for London. I cherish our video calls, but I still miss seeing him in person. Today is Tim’s 34th birthday, and I wanted to send him a special message here because I know he’ll see it eventually—after all, he’s the one managing my…
Seven Stools

Seven birds 7th day 7th Month
Saw this in my “memory” in Facebook. I took a photo of a flock of birds. I’m pretty sure I counted seven of them on the fence. But who knows, they may not be exactly 7, but who cares right? It was just a neat moment in time that I was able to capture ….

Here is my first entry to Becky B’s Squares – Seven in September. It is a mural of aliens in costumes coming down from a spaceship. There are 7 of them believe me…not counting the tiny baby ones.
A candlelight journey
Thanks Becky for the Square Challenge for this month of May. And as my last entry to SquareRenew… A candlelight’s glow invites us to meditate and embark on moments of silence and renewal.

New Growth
Here’s a lovely photo of my daughter during our stay at a charming Airbnb on a working farm in Castlemaine, Victoria. We were allowed to handpick veggies from the garden and the owners were so nice to bring us a daily basket of fresh fruits. I’m sure, soon enough, new growth will emerge from where…
Walking forward
Exploring the streets with a tour group is always an adventure. In Girona, their expressions were intense as they walked forward, fully immersed in the stories being shared by the tour guide. I am linking this to Becky’s SquareRenew.
Wooden Sculptures Squared
When my sister came to Melbourne for a visit, of course we had to take them to the Twelve Apostles. On the way, we stayed the night in Apollo Bay. Here we discovered Apollo Bay’s wooden sculptures, showcasing local artists’ talent. This is a permanent exhibition of wooden sculptures along the Apollo Bay Foreshore. This…
Tuesday Streetart 40 – Under Construction
The last time I visited Melbourne CBD, the roadside was undergoing construction, presumably for renewal, reconstruction, or extension. Surprisingly, instead of typical signage, it boasted charming street art featuring Australian animals. Adorable, isn’t it? I am linking this to Becky’s SquareRenew
Being hopeful …
This week, Patti hosts the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge with the topic of HOPEFUL. I am linking this also to Becky’s SquareRenew In my ripe ol’ age of 60+, there are still many things in life that make me hopeful… witnessing simple acts of kindness, seeing progress in the world, and maybe experiencing personal growth by learning new…

The Rebuilding of the Forest Glade Gardens
This is the history of the Forest Glade Gardens in the Macedon Ranges Originally, the land were two properties with orchards and large paddocks. In 1941, the Newton family bought and expanded the land to create a beautiful garden. Later, Cyril Stokes bought it and made the gardens even better. __________________________________ Sadly, the Ash Wednesday…
The flower is burgeoning
Not my usual choice of word that I would use for flowers growing rapidly, but now I’m using it for Becky’s SquaresRenew challenge. I don’t even know if I used it correctly, but here goes… Also linking it for Cee’s FOTD Weekend challenge and for Cellpic Sunday Here is a pink Dahlia that I found…

Philippines Moving Forward
It’s Day 2 of Becky’s SquaresRenew and I am featuring something that is close to my heart. As a Filipino migrant residing in Australia, every time I see something “Filipino” like these trams in Melbourne and in Sydney….I feel so excited. I’ve often wondered why discussions about Southeast Asia frequently overlook the Philippines, mentioning countries…
Moving Up
Life’s a journey, it may not be always moving forward … it may be moving up. Since I am a Streetart person, i will start with a Streetart stencil of Banksy which I saw twice… once in Barcelona and this one is from Sydney. This is entitled “Girl with a Balloon”. The message of this…
