Hi everyone,
Winter is definitely here and everyone in the Sydney office agrees that it is cold! I don't know how the weather is in your part of Australia, but it's wet here! So, the theme as suggested by the team in Sydney is "winter warmers" - birds keeping warm, birds in the rain or getting wet....interpret as you will!
Looking forward to your photos again,

I have been thinking about this topic for some time, sorry to say nothing really fits the topic. I would think a cup of hot soup would be a "winter warmer" , so all my photos about water or even rain would be beside the point, sorry to say, or am" I" missing the point here?
Back to my thinking pad

that kind of thing? A scarf is a "winter warmer"? (my daughter made this one for me, I don't have photoshop)
