Day 222 2015: Stop and smell the ... erm...

Day 222: ...well, look at the colours at least

Short turnaround day today, from Friday educator, to Ekka goer, to community musician, to Sunday worker, to community musician, back to Ekka crowdster, and finally back to Monday educator, my day job. After some weekends, it does seem that getting back to the desk is the calmest thing to be doing. 

And so it was. So quiet that the most active moment photo-wise was with the flowers I now try to make a habit of buying on a weekly or fortnightly from my local florist. Not only are they pretty but the changing colours, daily, are an amateur photographer's dream. 

Such as it was with the protea, magnolia, and some chrysanthemums holding out from over two weeks ago. Quite delightful. I've been sharing on instagram so  thought I should bring them here to the blog.

There's still a beauty in the older flower

Such a busy centre

I wandered over to see the neighbour's jasmine too...it is just bloomin' marvellously. It was certainly worth a moment to stop and smell the...jasmine.
