More umbrellas

The rain theme continued off and on all this first day in Melbourne- but people were all still out and about.

 I guess I was surprised by how many autumn trees I saw, but they have imported deciduous trees from the 'homeland' here as well.

 I had already fallen in love with Melbourne's architecture- and the unexpected juxtapositions of buildings.

 Fitzroy Gardens were beautiful, and had this sculpture by a woman author in the 1930s, made for children, with fairies on it.

 Coming around by Treasury, I was glad to find that one of the 'important men' had shoes just as wet as mine...

There were some unexpected old signs on some of the walls as well.
