| a memory |
a memory. so many possibilities. I had thought to head to Fitzroy Gardens to photograph Cook's Cottage which I visited with my family when I was about 8. Before I could get there I noticed the Jacaranda's were flowering. Now there are some solid memories. My childhood home until I was 7. Climbing the two massive Jacaranda's down the backyard, past the chook pen and Curly the cow. I wonder if they really were massive or if that's just my young girls perception? I still miss those trees. And the swing in the backyard. None of it is there anymore. Long since redeveloped with an ant's nest new suburb built over the top of the 7 or so acres we lived on. I did snap a couple of photos of Jacarandas on the walk home from the tram stop. And then I got home and as I was staring out the glass doors at the back of the house, mesmerised by the Fuscia being tossed about by the swirling wind, I thought of my grandmother. She always had the dancing ladies growing in the shady bit around the back of the house. They were plumper dancers than these comparatively anorexic (or should that be dainty?) ladies. So, in ode to my granny, the Fuscias trumped the Jacarandas for photo-of-the-day.

| loud |
I was wandering through the mall when I heard a ruckus coming from the corner. 'That's loud' I thought. 'Ah ha' was my next thought as I headed in that direction and disentangled my camera from my bag.

action: The swaggering Johnny Depp, Pirate of the Air, defends the Caribbean fighter plane with a plastic sword and a bottle of rum, against marauding Star Wars characters, a ninja, and some kind of Lancelot figure on a flying horse. You're my kinda guy Johnny. *sigh*
PS. Thanks to Steven and Dimity for their invaluable assistance in styling and lighting this shoot and for the hysterics involved. Special thanks to Zach for providing the action figures.

Nature is so pretty.
Wasn't the cow called Shirly?
Shirley. Curly. Must've been one of them. I think there was another one out at Cabarlah with a similar name. Can't remember which one was which.
