Petunia, originally uploaded by lynley.clark.

I was really pleased with the clarity of this photo of a double Petunia in my front garden. For this I used my daughters digital Canon SLR. Beautiful.

The Petunia patch at the front of my home has struggled to form nice clumpy bushes. The flowers though and even the slight perfume have been nice.

Lighthouse, originally uploaded by lynley.clark.

Every night when I drive home from work my little car takes me over the hill on the final leg of the journey and this is often what I see. (Weather permitting of course.) The Hallett Cove Lighthouse just visible in front of the beautiful blue of the ocean contrasts against the dry grass in the foreground. Some rain soon would be lovely.

Windmill in the city, originally uploaded by lynley.clark.

Recently I was visiting my cousin at a caravan park in West Beach. When I looked up from the cabin they were staying in I could see this windmill blowing around at sunset and thought to myself that this was an unusual site so close to the city, so I took a photo!

I have lived in our suburb for the best part of 20 years and have always felt that it was rather like a big country town. You can go to the local shops and run into people that you know through sport or school and always find someone to have a chat too. 20 years ago it was a new area. Young married couples, who having bought a block of land, built their homes and had families. Now as those families have grown, something sinister seems to have started happening around us. Graffiti has become so common and vandalisim of cars etc., has increased. Just recently however the annoying anti social behaviour has become more dangerous. We now have someone amongst us starting fires. Not just grass fires anymore, but cars and now homes.

I surpose I'm not alone in wondering why anyone would enjoy creating such damage to another persons belongings. The mind boggles with the lack of empathy that these people have.

On the 7th January I got a lovely surprise when my daughter bought these bright and beautiful flowers into the office for my birthday. Even after nearly a week, they are still looking fresh. Surprising after the recent heatwave in Adelaide.

Tools of the trade?, originally uploaded by lynley.clark.

As a 21st teacher do we really need all of these tools? Has a teachers toolkit really changed at all since the PC lobbed into the school classroom? I don't think so.
