Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I guess I kind of fell off the planet for a while there, not that anything is wrong as such, just had nothing left to say. Melbourne has one the number one spot for the longest and harshest lockdown IN THE WORLD. I’m bored and frustrated and just blah. So I sort of turned off…

Visiting our local Wilson Botanical Gardens we strolled around the lilly pond, the rose garden and of course the lake, which used to be an old quarry. There is not much that remains, but one old set of pylons. The lake is home to hundreds of turtles and ducks and varied other water fowl too,…

We managed to visit our local Botanic Gardens on the weekend. It’s really the only one within the 5km we are allowed to travel, not our favourite local, it’s more of a dog walkers spot than anything, but it’s all we’re currently allowed. So we took the cameras for a walk instead of the dogs!…
