Thanks to a bout of post-viral fatigue, I didn’t take a single photo with my mirrorless camera in all of April.
It’s only now that we’re approaching the middle of May that I’ve had the energy to go (a) out anywhere and (b) take my camera with me – even if it’s just when I’m going for a walk, to the shops, or to a cafe in a nearby suburb.
So here are some more of my photos from around the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
Baby Buddha sculpture in a front garden
Photo of a ceramic sculpture placed on a tall tree stump in the front garden of a weatherboard house. The sculpture is of a bald, large-headed baby – the child Buddha – hugging the back of a small elephant. The elephant’s trunk is reaching back to touch the crown of the Buddha’s head. The tree stump has a string of lights wound around it.

On final approach to Melbourne Airport
