Pier Pressure

A Brief Taste Of Spring

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


For about two or three hours yesterday afternoon, it was as if someone had switched off winter at the mains. Not only did we have the bright sunshine that is such an integral part of a Melbourne winter day, but the breeze was positively balmy. I had my shirt sleeves rolled up, my tie undone and my sunnies on. This shot was taken down at Southbank, to give you an idea of the sun-dappled surface of the Yarra River.

it's so strange to read this, when we are in the hot summer days here...

Hi Ms Creek,

We've had a lot of frosts this winter. Sunday morning, there was still a heavy frost on the grass almost three hours after sunrise!

Keep smiling

Hi Steph,

Now you;ve got me thinking - maybe I should have used the word ``shades''!

Keep smiling

Whoa, Sport!

We (some of us) haven't had our 'Summer' yet, so stop trying to snatch it back!

Back of the queue for a couple of months, please.

I agree with Ms. Creek. Living in Texas, though we are experiencing the wettest summer in history, it is still hot and the air conditioner must run nearly 24 hours a day to fight the humidity!

Hi Ms Creek,

104 - that is way too hot for me. I grew up in India, but I am a penguin and love the cold.

The Yukon would be fine and dandy for me.

Keep smiling
