transient beauty...

Found an interesting perfume that interprets one particular cactus flower...
Also known as the Queen of the Night, this fragrance interprets the highly transient night flowering cactus Selenicereus Grandiflorus. Collaborating with the iconic Bertrand Duchaufour, this special scent captures the orchid cactus - native to Central America, only flowering once a year. The blooms open at night and only last a couple of hours, it is incredibly beautiful and is rumoured to powerfully ignite passions, then, by sunrise, the flowers have been spent.

I am here...

lone cyclist...

public shout...


There is quite a number of these signs scattered around my neighbourhood...
They have been there for some time...

The Peninsula Preservation Group has devoted a website to this protest.

let it go...

P.S. I have also found Leunig's cartoons a great source for helping secondary students recognise, and form an understanding of, satire...

Natalie and her piano...


Her full name is Natalie Trayling.
'Melbourne’s love affair with Natalie Trayling began in the 1990s when she wandered into the David Jones department store one day and began to play its grand piano.' - 'The Australian' - July 13, 2019.

This musical piece below was composed between the age of 13 and 14 and finished some years later.

    

Natalie's YouTube channel is maintained by her son Matthew.

the universe and coffee...

Sometimes it's best to leave
the revolutions of time
to one who knows time best...

steampunk rabbit...

A little quirky always generates a little smile or two...

in praise of winter...

Winter may be the season of cold outdoors...
But bring some warm inner light
and the view
can be quite cosy...

beauty of a child...

As soon as I saw this image
I felt the feeling...
the bond
so close...
needing no words...
