This beautifully stylised Art Nouveau tile of an iris appears on the facade of the Old Court House Hotel on Camp Street in the sleepy little Victorian country township of Talbot.
Whilst the tile is Edwardian, the single storey pub, called the Court House Hotel with its verandah is undoubtedly Victorian (built in 1861), so these were added during an Edwardian face lift.
Originally servicing a mining population of over 15,000 during the 1850s gold rush, today only a few hundred people live in Talbot. The Court House Hotel is its only hotel.
Virginia creeper or five-leaved ivy (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) is a woody vine native to eastern and central North America, in southeastern Canada, the eastern and central United States, eastern Mexico, and Guatemala, west as far as Manitoba, South Dakota, Utah and Texas.
It is a prolific climber, reaching heights of 20 to 30 m in the wild. It climbs smooth surfaces using small forked tendrils tipped with small strongly adhesive pads 5 mm in size. The leaves are palmately compound, composed of five leaflets (rarely three leaflets, particularly on younger vines) joined from a central point on the leafstalk, and range from 3 to 20 cm (rarely 30 cm) across. The leaflets have a toothed margin, which makes it easy to distinguish from poison-ivy, which has three leaflets with smooth edges.
The flowers are small and greenish, produced in clusters in late spring, and mature in late summer or early fall into small hard purplish-black berries 5 to 7 mm diameter. These berries contain oxalic acid, which is poisonous to humans and other mammals, and may be fatal if eaten. However, accidental poisoning is uncommon, likely because of the bad taste of the berries. Despite being poisonous to mammals, they provide an important winter food source for birds. Oxalate crystals are also contained in the sap, and can cause irritation and skin rash [1]

One of my all time favourite poppies! A true bright red one that I have finally had success in keeping
in my garden after many years of trying.
Gorgeous LUXE Extreme Blue Fire Labradorite Focal Briolettes with their vibrant iridescent flashes of blue and green have been wirewrapped together to form a lovely pendant. These were then accented with rich Red Garnet and Hessonite Garnet that graduate in shade from deep orange to golden Honey and then finished off with bright Blue Fire Moonstone. It was then finished off with an elegant Sterling Silver Cable chain and Lobster Claw clasp.

I spent a delightful Saturday with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in the Yarra Valley, where we visited the picturesque Alowyn Gardens, which I had never heard of before, before having luncheon at the Yarrawood Winery.
The Alowyn Gardens are just outside Yarra Glen, east of Melbourne, in wine making country. The Alowyn Gardens started as weed and blackberry infested paddocks that were formerly part of a horse stud. The land was cleared in 1997 before revitalisation of the soil was conducted. Two years later in 1999 the first tree was planted. Today the Alowyn Gardens are well established, and provide an informative and educational experience for visitors. It has been designed with shade and comfort in mind. Plant names are on view to educate visitors about the gardens. The gardens have one of the largest Japanese Wisteria arbours as their centrepiece. Off it visitors may wander through seven very different styles of gardens, from the formal to the informal, European to Australian. The Native Garden is based on Australian plantings and features a dam and wetland area for animals, including a profusion of frogs and a great deal of birdlife. The Display Garden is a collection of courtyards and small gardens featuring collections of interesting plantings. The idea of the Display garden is to demonstrate what can be achieved in small spaces. The Edible Garden as the name suggests, shows that kitchen gardens can be beautiful as well as functional with rows of fruit trees, vegetable and medicinal gardens and a number of edible flowers that are both tasty and beautiful. The Birch and Casuarina Forest offers a woodland with enchanting hidden dells and contains a historical miner's hut. The Perennial Border contains herbaceous plants which are tough and hardy, survive with minimal work and are able to cope with Australia's hot summers and cold Yarra Valley winters. The Parterre Garden is based on the 15th Century French Renaissance design principles of low formal hedges formed into patterns. The French Provincial Garden is the largest of all the gardens and is surrounded by avenues of Chinese Elm, Crab Apple and Canadian Maple trees. It has large lawns, and a long water feature that runs the width of the garden.

08-02-10 When I got home today I was pretty sure I didn't have a shot. However on review of the shots I took I found one of a post box that I had quickly snapped earlier on in the day. I only stopped to take the shot because it said GR on it that stands for George Rex (King George in latin) which means it is really old. The SOOC shot looked bloody awful and I had to play around with the white balance and saturation for a while before I got something I thought I could use. A nice tight square crop on the crown and the letters gave me what I was looking for. Hope you guys like it.

Images Viewed: I've not had much time to search for new photos today but I still have my flickr RSS feeds! I was looking at all my contacts new photos earler on today. You guys rule! Oh and I have found a new flickr viewing toy. Has anyone else used flickriver? Its very cool.
Other Inspiration: I have been putting the finishing touches to my band's debut EP. They put me in charge of creating the artwork (natch!). Producing it has made me use photoshop a lot more, I'm still not a fan of using it with my photography but I may do in the future due to this.

Had a great weekend at West Mersea with the family. This was taken from the back of the restaurant where we were eating on Saturday night. I could see that a great sunset was brooding so I nipped out and grabbed a couple of shots just before my main course was served. I have taken the title in honour of what I had to eat, lobster and chips .... how decadent.
