winter sunshine

Even in the middle of winter, when the sun shines, so do the people. Today lots of people are out walking, kicking the ball, enjoying thier families and sharing food. I really like the winter sun, especially since it does not last long and by 3pm, the sky has returned to its moody grey, the mist arrives and the cool evening settles into the cold night. Anything that needs to or that should be done, should be done without delay. The trees above are skinny and stark in winter and full and leafy green in summer. I love this street and how the trees characterise the seasons so clearly. There is a lack of season definition here in Melbourne so trees and other things act as a clue or guide, especially on the sunniest of winter days where we might be tricked into believing otherwise.

The leaf impression is one that I step over very often. The leaf must have fallen into the concrete after it was poured. I like to look for these small graffitti's from nature.
