Panasonic Lumix GF3 Snaps Pt2
Dec 4, 2011 by Violet
Part two of my random day of snapshots! It’s getting dark around 8:30 at the moment which being from QLD I just hate because it messes up my sense of time but at least there’s lots of light to take photos late!
We walked past this water feature that I’ve always kind of ignored because it’s so boring but this particular day there was a girl there making an art installation out of leaves.She was arranging them in a portrait, so pretty and such a lovely idea.
A boy came and offered to help her remove some of the leaves stuck up too high for her and it was so cute ^_^
James took this one, he wanted to play with the camera almost as much as I did XD
I spent a lot of time enjoying the new flowers too, they didn’t smell so great but they sure were pretty!
Good chance to play with the focus too!
There was a really pretty flower shop along there too, I love seeing the flower stands around here. There’s one right near our house with a really nice owner. He’s always so friendly so I’ve decided when I’m one of those awesome rich people who can afford fresh flowers every week I’m going to shop exclusively there :D
Generic shoe photos :D
Now with 90% more random cow.
And just a little more random architecture… because I love it XD
I saw these adorable mop toppers at Tokuya… I have no idea if they do anything other than making your mop cuter but I think that’s a very good skill in itself ;)
Also James couldn’t help making Minecraft jokes at this…
More cuteness I found:
At this point we were trying to find a shop that James had been searching for. Unfortunately we weren’t sure it actually existed but it was a lot of fun looking for it!
We spent quite a lot of time wandering around China Town, at sunset it’s always so pretty in that area.
And I saw a lobster humping a crap… so I took a photo because I’m classy.
I really want to try this Japanese restaurant, it has really good reviews and the area reminds me so much of Tokyo!
At another restaurant we walked past was SUSHI BURGER! Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen but I totally want to try!
James finally found the Salvos store we were trying to find XD…
…and it happened to be right next to an arcade game parlour… :D Biggest claw machine EVER. Seriously the kitty at the back had black marks all over its head because people had tried to get it so much XD
An adorable puppy …
Pretty lanterns at another restaurant. I would love to do this to my house but I think having them so low would make the apartment feel tiny.
James trying to play with some kind of interactive watch advertisement XD
We met up with my Mum and went to dinner at Claypot King. James’ coke was strangely descriptive XD
I ordered what I thought was a drink that I had had before and ended up with this instead which was shaved ice full of coconut, peanuts, corn, jelly and cordial XD I have the worst luck with ordering things but I will try pretty much anything so it worked out! This was actually pretty good haha!
On the way home I taught my Mum how to play claw machines hahaha!
James discovered they installed pachinko and seems to have gotten slightly addicted, but having never seen or heard of one before he wasmore than a little confused >_<
I was much more interested in the claw machines though so I won my Mum a green kitty :D
It matches my pink one but she likes green.
That concludes my fun night of testing out my new camera! Hope you guys had as much fun reading as I did taking the photos :D

I love this series! The food looks great! LOL @ the lobster and crab, just LOL dang it.
I laughed so hard, very immature but still hilarious!
I can safely say that Yamato is my all time favorite Japanese restaurant in Melbourne! The food tastes just like the food you get at an izakaya in Japan and the atmosphere is that of Japan too! You should definitely go there soon~
I also loled at the grow creeper thing, and that was before I saw that James had made a minecraft related joke. :P If I could grow creepers I could get heaps of gun powder :D
Where is that sushi burger place?? I’ve never seen it before but it looks interesting, I’d like to try it out!
Oh also it was lovely seeing you today <3 It's a shame I can't see you more often!
Zomg good review from you makes me want to go even more! Seriously the atmosphere just screamed of the tiny little back alley izakaya *hungry already*. The sushi burger place is at 167 Exhibition St, I totally want to go some time XD It was great to see you too, we should have another hot chocolate some time!
Too Cute! :) With all those pictures it’s so hard to comment! Love the flower pictures, they look so good in micro(close-up shots), haha cow and lobster :P, the sepia shot of the building reminds me of old movie of ‘King Kong’, omg the kitty is huge, the food looks so good too yummy. As always, you look beautiful and hope that camera lasts cause the shots are awsome!!!
Haha the camera is definitely not going anywhere, it’s my baby :D Thank you so much!
how did you get so good at claw machines? is it just practice or is there a certain trick to it?
I think it’s partially luck, I have terrible luck at everything else so good claw machine luck is to make up for it hahaha! I think it also depends on the machine, some of them are easy that if you put in enough money the strength will get a bit more each time until you can grab something. It’s also about knowing which toys are in the right places for the different shaped claws to grab. So I guess part science, part persistance, part luck :D
So much fun! Such a great way to test out your new camera. :)
I can’t wait to take it out to some scenic locations too!
I loved the blog, I am following here! can also follow my blog? kissus

Happy to check it out :)
Aaaaaah, I haven’t had a chance to comment on your blog for daaaaays~. >_<
I love the colors that your new camera is picking up! :D The colors in the photo of the pink joystick at the arcade are particularly awesome~. :D
I love that photo too :D
Mop toppers? Who knew? O-o There are actually products designed to make even your average basic cleaning supplies look pretty. xD
Wow at the claw machine! You know that it’s a large machine if there is an actual jumbo sized Hello Kitty in there.
Overall, lovely pictures. I bet you must’ve had a field day. :)
I love silly things like the mop toppers, anything to make my house prettier!
