Apricot Ablaze

            I took an afternoon stroll in the beautiful spring sunshine today, and I walked past this beautiful apricot rose bloom which is on a bush which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1920s Art Deco stuccoed brick maisonette villa.  She was gazing up to the bright blue skies, basking in the sunshine, waiting to be noticed.  I couldn't help but do so, and I had to capture her beauty.

Yes, spring is now well and truly in the air, as winter in Melbourne fades into memory... well maybe not quite... it is supposed to be cold and raining tomorrow.  All the more reason to get out in the glorious sunshine whilst it's out.
