Rebirth
Winter just came to an end in Melbourne and the weather is already showing signs of improvement. Trees have blossomed back into life and everything is feeling a lot less icy than it was a month ago.
Summer is an awesome time to be living in Melbourne. Festivals, activity, birthdays, Christmas and new years all make up 3 of the best months to be alive!
The original photo of a tree is my own, from a shoot in the city. The texture was taken from www.deviantart.com, specifically from here. Colour altering and slight darkening of original image.

Autumn hitting here as Spring is blooming there. My favourite time of the year as it’s getting cooler versus your adoration of it getting warmer. Silly little shifts. :)
Great editing!
