Day 149 - View from the couch

My head is still not in a good way. I'm not really moving from the couch. This is what I see from where I'm sitting (well, it's more like reclining). My younger son has a student-free day and is doing something he rarely does - reading. Not sure how long that will last, and then he'll be off playing or composing music.

Day 148 - Home sick

At home with an inner ear thing. It's better not to move the head much. Thought I'd snap the last of these Stephanotis blooms. Soon everything will bare itself in the garden.

Day 133 - Catching the light

One thing I don't enjoy is knowing that we are moving closer to Winter. The worst part for me is the fact that it gets dark so early. It makes me want to crawl inside and not go anywhere. Isn't it funny how in the Summer it's still light until 9pm or so, and you feel like the day is still going on, but in Winter (or even Autumn), you feel the day ends some time after 5pm. There should be a switch in us that allows us to adapt to the seasons and function normally.
I took this photo just before it got dark. I ran out into the backyard and snapped before it became too late, and I was forced to take another inside shot.

Day 132 - Guest photographer

My camera has been playing up the last few days. Today Son No.1 took it with him when he went to uni with the intention of having it repaired. That didn't happen, but this photo did.

Day 120 - Freezing temperatures

This morning I had to scrape ice from my windscreen. The temperature had slid down close to zero overnight - unusual for Autumn. By the time I was sitting in the car, I began to wish I had taken gloves; my hands were as cold as ice. Perhaps it's time to pack up the table tennis table in the garage and invest in a new door - preferably one which doesn't have to be screwed in at both ends.

Day 105 - Early signs of winter

There's little left of the red vine leaves; it's early for the bareness that's spreading through the garden.

Day 91 - Japanese wind flowers

I love Japanese wind flowers (Anemones).They wave about in the autumn breeze.

Day 74 - Signs of autumn

The vine is beginning to change colour; signs of early Autumn. Soon it will turn a rich red before covering our back decking. With our dog coming in and going out, we also have signs of Autumn inside.

Day 68 - Heralding autumn

This bush always starts flowering at the beginning of autumn. Although it looks blue in the photo, the flowers are purple.
