Sunday afternoons are my time for some exercise in the form of a long walk around the neighbourhood but it turns out to be a long slow walk if I happen to have my camera with me.

Late afternoon as the sun is getting low is the best time for the light and the insects are still out busy doing what insects do. So yesterday my two hour walk took a lot longer......

   

AFTERNOON LIGHT ON
DYING PALM LEAF

WILD GRASS AND COLOUR

I love the time of the year when the grass and flowers have grown quickly and wildly after the spring rains and before the council cutters come with their noisy whipper snippers to raze it all back into a sensible and fireproof size. The purple malva and bright red poppies that have sprouted up everywhere will soon be gone from this urban landscape.

This lush vegetation looks spectacular against the vibrant colours of the graffiti.
