New Years Eve 2008

Hundreds of people must walk past this flower each day, missing it by inches and not noticing.

It reminded me of ring tail possums I saw once in Hawthorn, Melbourne. I was outside a friend’s house at night, just observing. There was a plum tree overhanging a busy footpath. In a branch, only about 30cm above people’s heads, were a couple of ring tail possums eating plums. People were passing beneath them back and forth not noticing, and the possums were indifferent, knowing that they weren’t seen.

The flower is in Byron St. Hobart.

Christmas day 2008

These flowers are from a little aloe plant, I think. It was definitely a succulent. They graced my garden for a short time. Now they don’t. But they still are (smile).

“I usually work on a theme. Lately it has been dew or raindrops on leaves. I just keep looking for opportunities and keep taking pictures until I am tired of it. And then, after time, or when I get a new camera, I’ll come back and do it again. I think I’m related to a goldfish.”

“I was in the garden, chasing bees from flower to flower. After a while, it seemed as though they just started ignoring me, and let me get close to them with my camera.”

Reminds me of all the stories I’ve been reading about Sounds like we need to get serious.
