a balmy 24'C (75'F) Friday evening in Melbourne, dropped off the "trouble & strife" at the Hilton for her work Christmas function which is right next to the Botanical gardens, so I got in a few shots before losing the light.

CC, I really like the color in the last shot, nice DOF. Trouble and Strife at Christmas, how can that be, it is a joyous time...right?

Cee Cee, these are vibrant and warm. We can entertain each other with images of opposite seasons! I am now missing my garden, lovely flowers shots... and the first duck is so sweet looking, the second has such interesting markings and I love the way the reflections and swirls in the water encircle the bird. very nice! thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for the comments Bob, ... of course no real trouble & strife, but we'll have a house full of relatives here for Christmas dinner (it's our turn) so there's still a bit of potential for things to develop.

cheers
CC.

thanks for your "warm" comments tess, I don't know that I could keep up the pace with summer shots, (I don't get out much) but I'll see what I can do. There isn't all that much of interest in the Northen suburbs of Melbourne, most of the interesting stuff requires some driving and planing ahead, but I hope to get in a few outings over the holiday period.

cheers
CC.

Lovely shots, Cee Cee! I really love the last one especially. I look forward to the arrival of spring here ... in about four months!

Nice excursion you've exploited photographically here Cee Cee.
Tough getting focus right with that lens.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

thanks for looking & the comments Ash, ...yeah, with the light failing (appx 7.30-8.00pm EDST) focus was an issue for me.

cheers
