At times the Wednesday photographic blog post is a bit of a mixed bag. This week I have really begun to notice that the mornings are getting darker when we rise - not surprising I hear you say as we head into deep autumn on the way to winter.
I was particularly taken by the dark sky and contrast of a sliver of moon when we arrived home on Tuesday morning after the ANZAC dawn service - looking to the east.

The lights of the Port of Brisbane were still visible when I wandered out to the kitchen after our early exercise morning rise.

I took a couple of strolls on the terraces this week - how could one not given the huge amount of Camellia blossom and masses on petals on the gravel like big snow flakes.
I loved the bee action at such an early hour of the morning - seems they were collecting dew, honey and pollen.

Every season surprises me.
