Soaring Overhead

It was a very cold and blustery day. I went off driving and spent some time at Kow Swamp, photographing pelicans. While I was there, shivering, I noticed this bird circling overhead. It was a dull day and I was disappointed in the colours, but I haven’t caught many photos of raptors in flight.

Asparagus in Autumn

I can’t wait for the spring rains that bring up wonderful asparagus spears for the family to enjoy. We are lucky because , for whatever reason, it grows wild along the track that is our road, and we have some secret spots that we carefully tend over winter.

Right now you can see the tell tale red seed /berries that reveal the location of asparagus ferns. They’re rather beautiful just as ferns. You can see other images of the asparagus plants here.

Can’t wait for springtime.
