Today I powered across to the Botanic Gardens on my lunch break. I hoped to find some interesting seed heads and I was pleased with the above. I like the little radar they have poking out – see the ones on the left. Everything in the Botanic Garden is labeled and I was so sure I would remember what these are called – but now it is gone from my brain. I think it was some kind of herb name?
Today I realised that I was doing ‘me time’, you know – that ‘me time’ thing that women’s magazines go on about? Ha! Made me laugh anyway. Women’s magazines idea of me-time seems to be a mud face pack and a large glass of Pinot Grigio in a bubble bath – not that that wouldn’t be nice but going about the Botanic Gardens looking out for interesting shapes, well, that was totally just for me. Not that I can’t do whatever I like almost any other time :) but it is not the same a having this fixed hour in which I can do whatever I like and where there is nothing better that I ought to be doing. Sometimes it is just the thing to go out on a long walk and think about nothing but taking pictures and seeing interesting things.
