Trees Fill The Scene

There’s a lookout slightly over two kilometres from where I live. It’s not the biggest nor the greatest lookout, but it does allow for an appreciable view. I feel as though there is a strong sense of distance in this … Continue reading

Hardenbergia violacea

Here is a photo of what I feel is a rather pretty collection of flowers that I saw yesterday. Most of them are yet to fully bloom, which I feel adds a sense of youth to the image. I feel … Continue reading
