  2. Goodness that's a complicated one Sami, I bet that took the artist a bit of time to do.

  4. I'm so impressed Sami, you must have taken 100's of great photos on your recent trip. Portugal must be a world leader in street art?!

    1. Thank you Mariette. Right now Perth is full of blooming jacaranda trees, so I thought it would give the blog some colour! Have a great weekend too. My daughter has just arrived from Holland yesterday to spend 1 month with us, so we're having a wonderful time!
