Librarian who takes photos, more miss than hit. All photos/videos taken by me (unless otherwise noted), mostly hand held and rarely edited.
Tiny yellow creature and an ant on a hibiscus style
I don't know what kind of creature, but it was initially running away from the ant as I was trying to focus on the flower, thus catching my eye
OK, it's a bit of a stretch, but we're all friends here in #ColorADay right 😀?

Cloudstreet 2011

adaptation of the Tim Winton novel of the same name

This came to mind when I looked up at the sky this afternoon; turns out it was a mini series on streaming service Showcase.

The sun was mostly behind clouds while I was out running errands this afternoon, so not many opportunities for shadows.

Office still life at 7.15 am.

From my archives, December 2019 (the air is filled with smoke from the bushfires making the shadow look slightly dramatic, or maybe not)
