Day 255...

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings.” - Victor Hugo

Day 207...

"If what I say resonates with you, it is merely because we are both branches on the same tree."
- W.. B . Yeats

One of the things I love about the 365 project is the community and getting to know people that have a passion for photography as I do... people that are different branches on the same tree called photography.   

Day 190... Yarra River

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
Roger Miller

and some of us stop and take photos of puddles.

I started work at 5 this morning, it was dark and cold outside, later I looked out the window and the winter sun was shining.

When I finished at 1, the winter sun was once again hiding behind the rain clouds but as I walked to the car, this puddle caught my eye...

Day 179... winter

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape - the loneliness of it - the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it - the whole story doesn't show."
- Andrew Wyeth

Most of the trees are bare at the moment but this one tree is trying to hold onto it's Autumn leaves  

 

Day 177... the Domain

Before venturing out for the day and exploring this little guy came to visit...

The Domain is 34 hectares  of open space in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the eastern edge of the Sydney central business district, near Woolloomooloo. The Domain adjoins the Royal Botanic Gardens and is managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens Trust, a division of the New South Wales Department of Environment and Climate Change. It is a popular venue for outdoor concerts, open air events and for large gatherings and rallies.

I walked through the Domain to the Art Gallery of New South Wales to view the entrants in the Archibal Prize...

An instinctive taste teaches men to build their churches with spire steeples which point as with a silent finger to the sky and stars.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Day 124...

Dreams are the seeds of change. Nothing ever grows without a seed, and nothing ever changes without a dream.

Debby Boone

 

These are achene from the London Planetree, which line Hutt Street; the achenes have numerous stiff hairs which aid wind dispersal; the cluster breaks up slowly over the winter to release the numerous 2–3 mm seeds

Day 110... breaking through

Each time dawn appears, the mystery is there in its entirety.

Rene Daumal

It rained thoughout the night and then this morning with the dawn the rain stopped and the sun broke through the clouds, giving us yet another beautiful Autumn day

Day 63... Light and shadow
