There’s an upside even to the last month of winter. Overcast skies and cold winds seem to make August  the least likely time to be out making pictures let alone getting out of bed before sunrise.

You can always  turn your hand to the little things though.

In this case a small twig of eremophila freelingii or native fuchsia which doesn’t mind the harsh conditions together with some rock lichen thriving in the damp conditions.
