FLOWER ATTACK! I didn't really spend much time in nature this month, but as the seasons change in Melbourne to Autumn, the camellias emerge. I am lucky enough to live in a little townhouse complex ...

FLOWER ATTACK! It's not going to surprise you to see this in my month in review. Honestly, about 70% of the images in my phone are of flowers. And trying to choose just one is too tough. So I went ...
