Along with Elephant's Child, River and others, this is my contribution to Sunday Selections.
This bag was dumped in Footscray. It was stinking hot and in full sun so I did not check what was in the bag, but you can see an earphone lead hanging out.

Another photo from one of our landings. I meant to make it a project to take photos of them all, but I am so busy with retired persons stuffs, I didn't follow through.

Flowers sent by his sisters for Ray's 75th birthday in March last year.

Ian (Molly) Meldrum is a music legend. Unfortunately he fell a few years ago while putting up Christmas decorations and suffered a brain injury. I saw him a couple of times at his local, DT's hotel in Richmond in the '90s.

The Corner Hotel in Richmond is famous and infamous as a live music venue and one night back in the mists of time, The Rolling Stones made an impromptu performance. Very few knew in advance.

I believe this is Berwick library, where I've stopped a couple time to buy coffee nearby as I was on the way to family gatherings.

Newish suburb, goodness knows where. I do remember taking the photo.

"I needs sunflower seeds, please".
No, you broke one of my porcelain pots a couple of decades ago. I know you live for decades, so it may well have been you.

I always enjoy your eclectic selections. And yes, that cockatoo could possibly be the culprit. Do I detect a bit of grudge holding?
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers for Ray's birthday. I like the non comformist petunia too.
Melbourne certainly has some interesting street art/scenes.
ReplyDeleteI hope your patio pot vandal is now behaving him/herself.
The ground street art is interesting in the corner of Swanston St and Little Collins.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with nice cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteThat particular petunia looks quite nice though it's out of place amongst the black ones.
ReplyDeleteI like the painted street and the roof of that Hotel is pretty grand.
I remember when Molly Meldrum had his accident and worried that he would die, but he didn't and had made a very decent recovery.
Retired person stuff is practically a full-time job. You always get great photos.
ReplyDeleteYou can hold a grudge LOL it may well have been the same bird! Aloha!
ReplyDeleteWhen we retire we are always busy, well some of us.
ReplyDeleteGood selection, Andrew.
Gorgeous coloured petunia is that one, shame about having a ring in.
Love the corner of Swanston and Little Collins. I take it that it's a sidewalk of sorts.
ReplyDeleteI love the pavement art - very cheerful! I would be so thrilled to have a visiting cockatoo, but maybe they can be a bit of a pest, like pigeons. I like pigeons, though.
ReplyDeleteThat is one pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteIs that a kite in the "suburb" pic, long time since I saw a kite. And saucy brazen cockatoo. Maybe give him his own (plastic) feed bowl stapled to the balcony?

Pe. the petunia, genes are funny things -- you never know how any given hybrid will turn out! I love the cockatoo on the railing, though I've heard they can be pretty annoying.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice assortment of shots. It is so nice to see a kite, Andrew.
