Hello Summer!!

This was taken on a drive to Yarrambat, northeast of Melbourne in Whittlesea, discovered this lovely place two days ago, after getting lost on the way to another place, my GPS was a bit confused I guess :)) I was sure it felt so warm that day...but today, which is actually the first day of summer in Australia, it feels like winter - cold, sunny, rainy and blustery, I have just embraced four seasons in a day!
Nevertheless, 'hello sweet summer!'

Sunday Morning at Yan Yean (Whittlesea) in Summer

Yan Yean Reservoir and Park and up the hill at the Growling Frog Golf Course are just ones of my favourite getaway places in Whittlesea. I go there every season, whenever I just want to run away from the city or just to refresh my mind... This time I went with my best photography buddy, Marge. We wanted to go there to meet the sunrise, but instead we were met by kangaroos, what a lovely surprise!

Marge, one of my most favourite photos of her:))

Tieve Tara Garden in Spring (Mt. Macedon)

 When I visited this dream garden in Autumn last year it was 'love at first sight' and coming here this time is just like falling in love again....everything looks splendid and absolutely beautiful, in a different way....was it merely a different time in the same place? 

Thanks to John and Judith Brand for sharing their paradise with us!

this time I had a self-portrait....
