Yellow buds

It has been a disappointing day in many respects... therefore I really need cheering up. How about some home-made pizza, a glass of wine and official publication of some yellow buds in a dreamy shot?

Let's remember: Everything changes, all the time, regardless... Good days tend to happen at some point, statistically speaking. And 'good', of course, is always relative and contextual. For me, a day is good when I am able to recover well and quickly from disappointments. And that has just happened! Wow! Happy weekend!

Waxy

Days fly by. Studying is rewarding but tiresome. I am so glad it has not been 20 years since I finished my other degree in Australia. I can now utilise all the study skills and knowledge that I gathered just a few years ago. Somehow Masters feels "easier" than Bachelors... Maybe because I do not have the barriers as high up this time. I know the language, the jargon, I am not worried about formulating essays and I know how to "read" texts. Note taking has never been a problem anyway. And we have been actually stressed that it is perfectly ok not to strive for high distinctions if you want to have a life at the same time... Thank you for that!

Here is a red, waxy beauty from the "hidden" part of my back yard.

Unidentied flying flower (UFF)

I cannot resist publishing this image. I have a couple of other versions of this actually very unremarkable little flower. I will put them in this blog later.
PS. It has been raining MADLY lately.

Wrapped

This is from yesterday. Look how tightly the flower is wrapped up before opening. Amazing. And I would have never noticed it unless I looked at it through my camera.
PS. It keeps raining like no end.

Dream worldly

Here is another image of the hibiscus flower. One might think that I am obsessed with these flowers... And they might be right!

Hibiscus in a new light

I am so excited! It has not been raining, really, for a couple of days, and today it is sunny.. so I just returned from the back and front yard... and I got some great new shots! Who knows, maybe I will use this blog or some of its contents as part of my Art Therapy Masters research project next year...

When there is light

This is getting a bit boring now but it is still raining here. Not just at this moment but the sky is grey, and the forecast predicts rains for the coming few days pretty much. Well, I cannot help that, can I, so the only thing I can do is to blog of images of sunny days... Here is one!
