I was out walking last night and took these photos along the way. They show parts of our neighbourhood. My favourite, slightly wild parts. Running through our suburb is a reserve, where people can walk or cycle, and while there has been a lot of planting and care of the land on either side of the cycleway, the summertime weeds are doing their best to envelop everything else. I know it will be a lot of work to clear them, but there's something kind of magical about honeysuckle, blackberries and clover growing en masse.
There's a divisive debate raging in our city at the moment, because the authorities want to build a major linking highway through our community. It's a complicated and wide-ranging issue, but it seems to be the only solution they have to redirect traffic away from a wealthy and picturesque part of town. Along with writing letters and protesting, I have plans to take more photos of our colourful neighbourhood, in the meantime.
