The simple beauty of a backyard in Melbourne

I started this gallery in 2011 because my care responsibilities were then 24/7 and my movements were limited to the house and garden. Anne Frank quote inspired me to create this gallery:

"Go outside...amidst the simple beauty of nature...and know that as long as places like this exist, there will be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be."
— Anne Frank

Jammer, dat je niet mee kunt doen met de challenge, maar rond het huis is ook veel moois te vinden. Mooie start.
