Tripping in the sunshine..... Spring is almost upon us, Yay!!

 
I took the opportunity after work today to capture a beautiful day.... it's called "Seizing the moment!"
 
So many birds singing & busy in the lead up to spring season & raising babies, bees enjoying the sun gathering their nectar, people outdoors making the most of glorious warm sunshine, walking their dogs, cycling & jogging. Me. well I was 'walking'!! BUT, I had photo's to take..... 
Enjoy my snapshot of today around the Barwon River & at the Botanic Gardens, Geelong.

Splash of Splendid Native Colour


I just wanted to bring some lively colour into our wintry world!
Amongst the rain, chilling winds & fog, if you take a peek, you'll find some wonderful colours of Mother Nature springing into the beauty of life..........

A little old architecture in Geelong, plus some....

Some snaps I took while killing time waiting for car to be serviced!! It was only a hop, skip & a jump into CBD of Geelong to spend approx 5hrs or so..... so, plenty of coffee & of course had tucked digital camera in(just in case!) & off I go.....

Ye Olde Ballaarat

Heritage Weekend May 2012


There is just something special when visiting Ballarat that takes you back in time... I love the wonderful old buildings from the days of the Gold mining boom & the Eureka Stockade lining the main streets, the old factory buildings in the suburbs (& there's a lot of them!), spectacular colourful gardens surrounding Lake Wendouree & in the streets..... A beautiful city!

Ballaarat Heritage weekend is certainly an event not to be missed, with many things happening, heritage tours, horse & cart rides, period costumes, steam train rides & much more.... we visited only for half a day. Promise to self, next year we'll stay for whole weekend!!
