Librarian who takes photos, more miss than hit. All photos/videos taken by me (unless otherwise noted), mostly hand held and rarely edited.
Will it storm or not? It's currently 33.7°C and I can hear thunder in the distance.

Windows old and new, view from The Palisades Hotel.
Now an office building at The Rocks, Sydney.

So it's been an interesting day. Trying to breath and do anything else at the same time; seeing my mother to go through important stuff but she gets easily confused; and then I cracked my favourite mug while washing up.

This little one would be a bit bigger now, the photo being taken at Taronga Zoo about five years ago.

Elephant begins with a vowel.

Starting with the obvious, but also the (maybe just a tiny bit) dramatic.

From my archives as I haven't been out much lately.

I've gone for the alternative today, in abundance (well a few at least)

#Mr&Mrs masked lapwing. I didn't see them together in any other formation during the short while I worked in this building.

And still it continues

Sun's out so I can sit on the balcony at the new table, which has a spider web on it

A kookaburra sitting on a wire at the light rail station

🎶 Kookaburra sits on the electric wire
Jumping up and down, with its pants on fire
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch!
Kookaburra, hot your tail must be! 🎶

A small yet mighty arch, made by a tiny, tiny caterpillar on the brim of a sun hat.

I've posted this before but It fits with this week's theme.

I've walked past this area many, many times and last week I finally stuck my camera in between the bars of the fence.
I'm thinking this is an example of 'sometimes it's better to look and enjoy, not everything needs to be photographed'.

An ant is small, I didn't notice it while taking the photo. It's fast moving so that could also be why.

Back in respiratory hell. If expectorating were to be a competition, then I would be world champion. Here are some flowers in the garden from earlier today to cheer me up.

This wee bicycle is left all over the neighbourhood. It's now back a few doors up from me.

Sirius windows, before the sale
Only two residents remained when I took this photo on 11 March 2017. On that day I went on a tour and visited the 10th floor apartment of the late Myra Demetriou, the last resident to leave
