Distant landmarks!


Parliament House in the distance in a sombre mood.
I think the rocks in the forground are the spine of what was once a hill-
an igneous intrusion into what looks like mudstone -
now just a part of Yarramundi Reach.

Oh, I could have dived in!

Walking around the Lake!


A series of views from around Lake Burley Griffin, from the Black Mountain side.
7.15am and it is already sultry, leaving the mountains to recede.
Still there were a lot of birds out, as you can see!

Mt Dromedary from Camel Rock carpark



Being at the coast means watching the waves dancing in all weather,
but once I looked away from the beach I saw something else.

summer waves



I can feel a series on waves and clouds coming on,
but shall resist, except for this one.
There is something atmospheric happening here.

roadside orchid - south coast



Recently at the south coast we found a lot of these spires of pink.
If you know what they are, please let me know!
Pure seredipity to get the bee as well!!

Naughty cockies demolishing wattle



By the time I had the camera out, they had just about all flown away,
but I got this as evidence - shredders in the garden next door!
