view from my end

Hi this morning I have been having fun with the Instagram App on my phone. I love it, it gives great art finishes to your snaps. Instant retrofication (word?). I thought it might be interesting for you to see what it looks like from where I sit/ stand..looking through my eyes.
Photo above is the view from my living room couch.

This is the view from my front door..yep that's the door handle on the left. I've used the Lord Kelvin setting on Instagram to get this aged look to the photos.. the reality is much more colourful & not such a warm toned world.... do like the reality best, especially on a day like today when we are expecting temps to rise to 40 celcius. I'll just have to keep thinking cool thoughts.... if that fails the beach is only a few minutes away.
