I didn’t blog this morning because I left myself with not enough time to write, after reading stuff in my aggregator and then playing with Dumpr, a site which allows you to add different special effects to your photos.
I used the “Turn your pictures old” feature on the site to change the appearance of this photo slightly. I don’t know if it looks “old”, exactly, but the effect is interesting.
The two statues, found in the Supreme Court Gardens in the city, are of the characters Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, the gumnut babies. I was wandering around the city a couple of months back and happened to have my camera. Before then I didn’t know these statues even existed.
Finding these two did leave me wondering about all the other interesting places around Perth that I have no idea of…

They’re beautiful! I wonder what legal genius thought they were appropriate to that garden? A rare one with a good knowledge of Australian children’s literature. I don’t know how I missed them when I went through those gardens during Click06, I’ll have to come back to Perth and find them, I think!
Dumpr is cool! I can see myself having loads of fun on the site. 🙂
Awww how cute. Those stories are great, tho’ we were always terrified of the Banksia men.
Sheena, I was quite surprised to find them – it was almost magical because all around me was the usual hustle and bustle of Perth’s CBD.
jl, what did we do with ourselves before The Internet, again?
Penny, very cute! 🙂
