An early walk


When my friend can't walk with me, I change my track. I go into the city for the ultimate harbourside views (benefits of walking near water here).





Unbeknownst to me there was a half marathon on so I couldn't do my usual path so gave up after a few kms.

I would make up the distance later in the day walking to lunch, and I made my way back to the car.

I stumbled across a delightful community street garden with advice on when to pick the lemons on the tree (of which there were none) and this:

That is a real COMMUNITY garden! 




I put this in B&W and got my friends to guess the colours of the bike and fence - the bike they got quickly but the fence took a few hours and some hints...








While walking the dog on my return, there was a broken mirror so I tried to get the dog to see herself but she lacked the interest and was more impatient for the interruption to her journey.











Anyway, as Frank Turner would say 'If you're all about the destination then take a xxxxxxxx flight!...[I'm] going nowhere slowly but [I'm] seeing all the sights!' He's so great - if you ever get a chance to see him, go!! (There is swearing in the song so NSFW)






It may not be what was planned but it was still good for the soul!

  6. The sky shots you posted left me awe struck and speechless. However, the fence and bike image brought up memories. A stucco home and metal fence was painted purple nearby but if I saw a B/W photograph and was asked what color it was I certainly would not of guessed purple. LOL! Fun blog!
