Bay of Warrnambool fishing boat (painting).

Quick painting on plywood I did this morning. It is based on a photo you can see on this page. It is of a fishing boat in the bay of Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia. (Three hours down the great Ocean Road from Melbourne.)

Agave leaf (with selective colourization)

First posted May 2011

Agave leaf with water drops. Some of my first testing with my new camera (Canon 550D). Selective colourization for fun!

Growth

First posted 3rd April 2007

Close up of new growth on a young Frangipani tree. They have beautiful delicate flowers which smell terrific. Being in Melbourne it is a struggle to keep them looking good, but many people do well, although Queenslanders have a far better time of it.

Immature

This is a young fern leaf opening up toward the sun.

Thin

First posted 7th October 2006

These tiny thin flowers were found in a greenhouse section at the Cranbourne Boatnical Gardens. I’m afraid I don’t know the type of plant, but each flower head here was only about 5cm high at this point. They remind me of someone trying to create a shadow puppet of a dog with their hand!

Lake Mokoan

First posted 21st August 2006

Sunset over lake Mokoan, near Wangaratta, three hours north of Melbourne. This lake and many others are particularly dry at the moment, and tight water restrictions are in force.

Wreck

First posted 30th May 2007

Between Spotswood and Yarraville is the stony creek backwash, partially under the Westgate bridge. I found this wreck there a few days ago whilst on a stroll.

Ripples

Just some lovely shapes and colours in the form of water ripples. Enjoy.

Old and new

First posted 17th January 2009

I love how nature rejuvenates itself after a fire or other such catastrophe. I particularly love the bright green colours of new growth against the harsh charcoal colours of the tree trunks.

Valley of trees

First posted 17th September 2008

Adjacent to the Eastern Freeway, just off Doncaster Road is this reserve which includes some lovely flowering fruit trees.

Sitting Ducks

Hooded Plovers

First posted 31st May 2008

Threatened with extinction, these hooded plovers are found on the beach in Anglesea, Victoria. There are apparently only about 600 left within Victoria. You can see the Split Point Lighthouse off in the distance.
