Paddocks


After the church it's back to the featureless flat paddocks.

Musing:
From Figures in a Paddock by John Kinsella
"The sky is brittle blue,
foliage thin but determined:
colour indefinable beyond green."
Read the whole poem at John's website.

    It's the perfect collaboration, the picture and the poem.

    I saw very few ploughed paddocks. None that I can recall. It must be too early in the season. Maybe I should go out again prior to the spring planting season.

    Do you call that long grass in the foreground, wiregrass?

    Likewise, I am wondering when they plough and plant. I guess I will just have to keeping going over the hill until I find out :-)

    Dunno about the grass.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.

Big sky country 3

The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull!  But there is something of interest in the image.  These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today.  On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
