Love in Hosier Lane
Valentine’s Day feels too commercialized, and I’m not one for big celebrations with my husband. But sometimes, it’s nice to stumble upon graffiti and DOORS filled with love hearts—it’s a simple, unexpected reminder of love in everyday places. Happy Valentine’s Day to those who are celebrating this day. I am linking this to Dan’s Thursday…

Seeing the world differently
Photography captures moments, but the choice between colour and black and white changes how we perceive them.

This photo was taken in my local wetlands some…

Cats & Dogs
Cats and dogs roam the streets, some real, some frozen. Cats appear in gigantic murals, wall sculptures, and street art, bringing them to life—playful, watchful, and forever part of the city’s story. Dogs pop up in large and tiny sculptures and public art, tails wagging and tongues out, always ready for adventure. I am linking…

A Christmassy walk around town
I hadn’t caught up with my daughter since our trip to Tasmania a month ago, so we met up last Saturday for lunch. Before that, we took a stroll past the graffiti-covered walls of Hosier Lane—though there wasn’t much new to see. For lunch, we chose a Chinese restaurant near Chinatown. Then followed by some…

Music in Monochrome

A melody can evoke emotions, tell a story, or spark memories, no matter where you’re from or what language you speak. This is my entry to Margaret’s Monochrome Madness Challenge with the theme of Music. Also linking it to Leanne’s blog….

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…
