These were in a little patch of creative garden created by children with an amazing teacher for inspiration. I enjoyed travelling around in the last break between lockdowns. It was moments of discovering these sort of gems that I enjoy the most.

Out of Lockdown: Day 2

I think I’m inventing a new calendar. My mood swings with the limitations or lack of them in my life. Today the sun came out, finally. I won’t get ahead of myself because more rain is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. My goal today was to attack my raspberry patch and cut them back. Goal achieved, but maybe the raspberries were cut back too hard. The sun came out and it felt like Spring. Lots of reasons to feel great today. Looking forward with hope.

I took this picture a week ago when the sun’s rays glimmered out from behind a cloud, spotlighting the reeds. My day in an image.

Poppy

Life is looking up. Lockdown 6 has been cancelled due to no cases of Covid in regional Victoria. I was out fighting my climbing roses, all day, totally oblivious of any news. It’s so good, the roses pruned back and I can travel around taking photos again!!

Wandering around my garden, I was thrilled to see the first sign of spring. A poppy has arrived, unannounced, It was hiding in a little wild patch of mostly self sown flowers from last year.

Day 2 of 7 in Lockdown.

Maybe the rain is easing up. Maybe Spring is in the air. I’m waiting for everything to dry out a bit.

This is the road that I live on. It is muddy. My car is covered in it, but there doesn’t seem to be much point to cleaning it off yet. This is about a kilometre towards my neighbour. The road looks smoth, but it isn’t. They milk cows and you can see some of the many calves.

Day 2/7(maybe) of Lockdown 6.0

For a minute there I thought this might be a bird in a tree, some sort of owl maybe… Oh well.
