It is Spring in Adelaide and it is awash with marvellous flowers. With excellent Winter rains, the flowers are abundant. Oh, and there is a pink shoe as well!

Some things I saw this weekend
Colours
The Alligator and the Platypus
Some idiot dropped a 20 cent coin onto this alligator at Adelaide Zoo.
- The Alligator and the Platypus
For those of you who are not acquainted with Australian currency, it is a little serendipitous. A Platypus is on one side of the 20 cent coin and creates a unqiue a combination of under water cultures.
Sexy Legs
These legs belong to a 77+ year old Greater Flamingo in Adelaide Zoo. This Flamingo is older than either of my parents!
Royal Adelaide Show

Feeling a bit clammy?
A child bath toy faces the world outside the house…
it is scary out there, if you are a clam!
What happens when you combine a wide angle lens and a magnify glass?
Did some experimenting with my 14mm wide angle lens and a magnify glass (stuck on the front).
It provided a significantly increase in the scale of the object in focus in the foreground.
It also caused a dramatic change to the out of focus background, appearing more like an abstract painting than a photograph.
Thanks for looking.
Long grass
Whilst briefly in London, I stumbled across this chap sleeping in Green Park (aptly named) near Buckingham Palace.
I recently spent a week in Darwin and was surprised to see many more long grass people than I was accustom when I left Darwin 20 years ago. Long grass people (predominantly indigenous Australians) live without housing, in the parks in and around Darwin. Anyone who has been to Darwin will know that during and after the wet season, the grass in some of these park areas is quite high. I am not sure if the problem is worse, maybe I became oblivious to long grass people when I lived in Darwin.
So it seems that parks (with grass) are a good place to rest, no matter where you are in the world.
