Autumn Leaves
After a minor procedure, I have been instructed to walk twice daily for at least 30 mins each time, by my surgeon. This is easily achievable on non-work days as my customary dog walks are at least that duration. On work days, it is a little harder.
Prior to a late shift yesterday, I walked around the streets of the part of South Melbourne close to my work depot. I had not previously explored the area on foot and whilst it is perhaps not the most salubrious area, with the local 'recycling centre' (tip), a couple of wrecker's yards and various other industrial facilities, I did find this street with newly constructed apartments on one side and lined with beautiful eucalypts. I think they may be Poplar Gums, one of the rarer deciduous gums.
The sight of the leaves on the pavement called to mind some of the boys childhood photos that I had recently looked at, when they played in fallen leaves as toddlers in England. Of course, I have my own memories of walking to and fro through piles of leaves for years each autumn. Pleasant memories, but rarely encountered over here.
Proving the old adage that the best camera is the one you have with you, this is an iPhone 13 Pro image with only minor edits in Lightroom.
Have a fantastic weekend everybody.
