Silver fox..

 

From whichever angle you look at it this is a pretty cool ride sitting there glinting in the sun! I'm not so knowledgeable about cars, as long as they get me from A to B I'm fine with that, but I certainly can still appreciate the beauty of the older cars.. much more so than the latest models in fact :) Does anyone know what this might be? P had the thought that it might be a 'kit car' what do you think? Parked across the road from the Balmoral Hotel in the background below, Victoria Park's favourite local. It's going to be 35C here today, perhaps a chance to get my new summer header shot :) Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe..

All you need is love and a cat..

 

"I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It's not. Mine had me trained in two days".. Bill Dana.

Anyone with a cat knows the above to be true 😉 Wasn't expecting to find a pussy cat when we popped into the garden, cafe, nursery Greenbunch yesterday for a much needed break away from the house. Not sure if Nina is the name of the artist or the cat but she was a delightful addition to the outside garden space. Hope you had/are still having a good weekend, take care and stay safe..

Leg day..

 

'Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world'.. Marilyn Monroe..

Leg day, if you regularly work out, is the day you concentrate on leg exercises.. apparently :) Couldn't resist a shot as the lady above strode with purpose across Forrest Place in the city. She is definitely wearing the right shoes and looks set to conquer her world :) Happy Friday, Take care and stay safe..

'We have always been here'..

 

One of the most significant galleries in the new WA Museum Boola Bardip is the Wesfarmers Gallery, Wesfarmers being one of the Founding Partners of the museum. This gallery, Ngalang Koort Boodja Wirn, (our heart, Country, spirit) 'shares the stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Western Australia. It honours traditional knowledge systems, protocols and ways of communication. It is an acknowledgement of the endurance, survival and strength of all Aboriginal peoples'. Despite the atrocities endured the gallery is also a celebration of the creativity of Aboriginal artists, authors and performers. A definite must see when visiting the museum.. more to come :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..

A wider view..

 

This is the shot I should have taken on our first visit to the new WA Museum Boola Bardip instead of the views I posted HERE. This view clearly shows the blend between the original museum buildings and the new. I've always loved the splendid Jubilee Building above, which opened in 1899. Have a look at the fabulous panoramic shot HERE taken in 2004. I really must start using the camera in my phone to take panoramic views like that, I very rarely use the phone camera, how about you? Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe.. P.s. as long as there aren't any unexpected problems we have a deadline now for the bathroom renovation.. Saturday, fingers crossed :)

City Daily Photo December Theme.. comfort food.

 

For the longest time chocolate was my go to for a comfort fix, pretty sure that doesn't fall into a respectable 'food' group :) but I have noticed for the past few years it's all about the pastry. Give me a coffee with a croissant to dunk in it.. yup that's right I dunk my croissant, minus the jam, and I'm a happy chappie :) Also a dodgy 'food' choice but in the words of Roald Dahl, a coffee soggy croissant is scrumdiddlyumtious 💖 Happy Tuesday, the first official day of summer here in Oz, take care and stay safe..
