Gallipoli documentary
This is a brilliant documentary. The words of Turks, British, Australians, and to every soldier the greatest thing was home, family, and the terrible cost of war. Don't miss this one. I've chosen it for Photo Friday: Vanity because some of war is about vanity - the vanity of those in power who do not always use it wisely - while in other ways the unsung bravery and selflessness of the ordinary soldier is the utter antithesis of vanity. How, on one appalling day among many, did the second and third waves of Anzacs obey the order to go over the top, when they knew the first and second waves had met with annihilation?

Australia Day lamington
Maybe it's the one day of the year when green and gold coconut makes sense. Lamingtons are a sponge square dipped in icing and rolled in coconut. Children are so not put off by nearly-luminous food!

Gardenias
None perfect, all beautiful. Love the vintage aqua vase, and the way their scent meanders through the room.
Pink(ed) ATC
ATC with pinked edges. Photo Friday: Pink. Well, there's pink on the ATC, but I like the pun. (ATC = artist's trading card)

Happy feet
So Ronald's occupying most of the seat? So sit on him! Lunch at the Palais d'Arches D'or, on a break from investigating Treasure Shops.
Junk panorama
After Christmas, when January isn't too hot, it's time to cull and organise. Photo Friday: Panorama.

Gardenias
Picked these from the garden - just had the three, so I enjoyed the perfume and their varying stages from fresh-white to creamy-fading.
The aqua blue vase is a favourite junk-shop find.
Some order amid the rest, some of which is chaos-in-progress to order.

Bark & vine
Something really appealed to me about the rough texture of the bark and the delicate vine growing against it.

Blue plumbago
I've always preferred blue plumbago. Think I need to work on focus a bit...
Been doing some sorting out at home, so the garden is being my photo source/inspiration.

Turning the corner
Turning the corner into the new year (these bricks would look so much nicer with lighter grout).
