So Much for Summer!
I am perpetually cold. We live up in the forested mountains to the east of Melbourne where it is on average 6 degrees colder then the central basin. I love it here, amongst the trees with the natural world bursting on our doorstep; but it is very very chilly in winter.
This year has been odd, both in the protraction of the cold and the abundance of the winter rains. The upside is that many of the water catchments are filling up bringing drought relief to parts of Victoria, the downside? Finger aching cold and damp in the middle of October. I snapped these 2 images at the bottom of our garden this morning. I would have gone back for my SLR & tripod but as usual I was caught in a frantic rush to not miss my train. I processed them in two of my favourite iPhone apps: photoforge & photoeffects.
