Eye spy ... seasons change



I am playing along with Bug and Pop's lovely "Eye Spy" each Sunday. This week's theme is from the gorgeous Lisa of The Princess and The Monkey. She has asked us to spy a season's change.

In my part of the world we are heading into Spring: the season of the annual school fair. There are some absolute beauties around Melbourne.

This afternoon Argy and I kicked off the fair season, by travelling to an inner city school. We admired the beautiful grounds, patted baby animals, perused student artworks, rummaged through bric-a-brac and - most importantly - consumed pink sugar spun to the size of our heads. Perfect.

Thank you to Cindy for hosting Eye Spy and to Lisa for the theme. To discover other season's changes, head over here

  4. What a great photo! We just went to a school fete the other day. Sadly on the coast there are not a lot of school fetes done anymore. We used to love going to them when we were kids.

  5. I do love a school fair, made even better if it involves fairy floss. For me, it's got to be the freshly spun stuff. I don't like the prepackaged version.
    There's a school near us that has an annual fete and it's a beauty. Even if the school oval has been reduced to a black sand wasteland, completely devoid of grass because of the fete. It's worth it.

  7. We used to have a great school fair when I was a child, sadly our local mountain schools don't have an annual fete so I may have to scout around OM for some. Great photo, the fairy floss looks fabulous.
