Newport Lakes

Taking advantage of the quiet time of the new year in Melbourne 

Newport Lakes reserve was constructed from an old blue stone quarry which over many decades and lots of work has become a wildlife sanctuary of sorts very close to the heart of Melbourne.

Views of the lakes.

It's a wonderful place for quiet reflection.

New Year

 at the botanical gardens, Melbourne

The water lilies stole the show but the cacti were extraordinary

As you do ...

A new year and seasons greetings. Photo portrait, Jen Coralie.

Green House

Green House, Preston South

I spent my later childhood living next to a house like this. The owner I was told was in an asylum. One day I peered through the front window heavy lace curtains. I could see a room in disarray, the unmade bed strewn with pill bottles and multi coloured pills. The bed stayed this way for years. No one ever came.

I’m not down, by The Clash

'I've been beat up, I've been thrown out
But I'm not down, I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up
And I'm not down, I'm not down...'

Local Walk

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by

Dionne Warwick, Walk on by, 1964. Lyrics by Hal David.
