Creek tracks

June 7, 2021

Winter is here. At the beginning of winter the creeks and lagoon levels are lowered. This creek is one of the boundaries to my farm. There is only a trickle flowing back into the lagoon. The birds seem to enjoy the fish that are caught in the little pools.

Looking more closely, somethimg made this track up the creek. Maybe a turtle.

There’s something in here causing this ripple. I didn’t stay long enough to find out. My light was fading.

It was starting to get dark and the tree stumps were taking on some eerie shapes.

Bird Song

June 4, 2021

Love this simple song by Bob Marley

Rise up this morning
Smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds

Rufous Whistler. Acclaimed for its song


Pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet of songs

Rosella


Of melodies pure and true
Saying
This is my message to you-ou-ou

Wren

Singing don’t worry about a thing

In my garden

I think they are puffball mushrooms. When I disturbed this one it exploded and an amazing puff of a fine black dust, (spores) came out. The outer layer is quite hard. The big one is about 3 inches in diameter. They are a few of them in the garden bed.

Next time I go near them I might have my camera ready to get a shot of an ‘explosion’. I think the smaller ones might need to grow some more first. Wait and see.

Burning

May 24, 2021

Rain is forecast tomorrow. The clouds are building up in the sky. You can feel it in the air. At last! Our neighbours and ourselves have been scurrying about, finishing the last of the autumn tasks, before the rain and therefore lack of access due to wet paddocks.

We’ve been burning cutting some wood for winter and burning the rubbishy sticks left over.

So it inspired me to play around with an abstract photo, that reflected the colours of my day. Here it is. The last of the autumn blooms, in burning colours.
