Sunday stroll

Aradhna and I took advantage of a pleasant swing in Melbourne's weather schizophrenia to explore neighborhoods abutting ours in St Kilda East. We discovered several lovely cafes, Caulfield Park, a real Italian deli, dozens of ethnic restaurants and colorful gardens fronting charming brick homes on every block, an example of which is shown in the photo above.

Moving to Victoria has introduced a new world of mystery plant life.
