Lovely Surprise series

These shots are of the flowers that Keith gave to me. I have to say that I really like the colours and they turn out to be a really good subject for my shots. Love the colours here.

A lovely surprise

I have a lovely surprise this morning when my colleague told me that I have flowers at the reception at my work place. "Flowers?" I was thinking, because Keith is in Jakarta for work this week. Apparently, he organised for this to be sent before he left. It was a very pleasant surprise, because I was feeling blue last night, so it came just at the right time. I feel grateful to him and God because the timing couldn't be better for putting a smile on my face.

There are purple lisianthus, light green baby roses, yellow lillies, bright yellow tulips and Australian native plants in there, I think.
I put the flowers on a beige coach when I took this photo. It happened that it serves as a good contrast for the flowers.

It turned out that the light green roses are actually baby purple roses when it opens up. What a lovely surprise again! It's really nice to see the flowers blossoming day by day. :)

Autumn or winter?

This picture of railway track was taken at Emu Plains station in Sydney, Australia. We were heading to Blue Mountains and were waiting for the regional train. It was actually still winter when this photo was taken, but the colour from the surroundings looks as if it was taken in autumn. I probably would not get this kind of effect in autumn as it is very dry here until the rain comes in winter. Even so, the rain might not come every year. But this year, we have been blessed with heavy rain, to the extend that Hunter Valley was flooded for several days!

I have yet to set a title for this picture. Somehow, I like this picture. I guess it is the lines that hold my attention. I adjusted the colour in Photoshop to make it look a bit more nostalgic.

The Three Sisters

Quite a few of my friends told me that they like this photo. Personally, I think it is an okay photo. I guess maybe it is because I was there and saw the vast beauty of the Blue Mountains region and the photo has only captured a part of what I saw there. I have to say that we were blessed with a good weather that day, as you can see in the picture, the vision was very clear that day.
