One day whilst the sun was briefly shining.....

.....I grabbed my camera and went for a drive around Ringwood North. Why did I drive? Well, it's magpie season and I preffered not to get swooped by a birdie!

Ringwood East, Heathmont

I have a friend who lives in the leafy part of Ringwood East, in a house that sits amongst the tree tops. I am envious of her large expanses of glass at each visit.
It's a beautiful area with many gorgeous modernist homes. The only problem is that many of them have been there for 30-50 years so the magnificent gardens often obscure the houses from the street.
The neighbouring suburb of Heathmont, once thriving apple orchards, is another hotspot for contemporary post-war housing.
After visiting my friend on Wednesday, I grabbed my camera and cruised around the streets of these 2 suburbs and took some snaps. Here's a couple that could be seen through the foliage.
