Byron Street
A friend’s old place at Byron Street in Leederville, Western Australia. Great memories of good times on the front verandah.
Originally done for one of my favourite little girls, Poppy, hence the flowers I ‘planted’ in front of the fence (which unfortunately get cropped off the final image when it’s printed on a card – never mind, the sentiment is still there somewhere!).

Thanks kimbaross – I did this one for a little girl who lived in the house called Poppy, which is why the row of flowers got painted in to the front of the fence.

oh, this one touched my heart…it got my attention because of the colours, and then the name Byron Street, i live near Byron Bay and Lennox Head has a Byron Street too. It’s really sweet and made sweeter by the fact it was created for little ‘Poppy’

Cheers Soxy – btw, I think your profile name is one of the best I’ve seen so far. Not sure why, just has a really nice ring to it, almost like a character out of a novel.

Such a lovely tribute to Poppy. The cropping is unfortunate; though if you don’t mind some white strips at the side, you can just extend the canvas to alleviate the proportional problem.

Hmmm, good thought Mui-Ling – I don’t think I knew I could do that back when I uploaded this (amateur Bubbler back then). Might play with it on the weekend.

Yeah, you would have to see the result everytime you try something; the way this system works can get strange; for one image the can decide to crop it and then in another shrink it to fit
