Bylong Valley View
It's a pretty drive with mountain ranges on either side of good quality rural land. The green summer grass, boosted by the ample rain we have received this year, is giving way to drying seed heads. OOh I like grass seed.
We KNOW you love grass seed ... and doesn't it look wonderful with the sun behind it. The countryside is glorious, I agree. I can understand why you ceased 'recording' at Singleton.
Julie, my header? If you mean the background image ... that is the Flinders.
Mary Ann, I'm trying to reduce my compulsive blogging behaviour this year hence the occasional break when i doing something more intensive over on the other blogs ... also with me being out at Clandulla more often and my current work contract has less flexibility so not as much Wayfaring is possible,
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.
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.
And your header is the Bylong Valley, too ??

And I like this photo ... with the different layers of grass, pasture, trees, hills, sky and the animals silhouettes.
ReplyDeleteA great rural scene and nice focus on the grass seeds.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI need to get a better handle on all your blogs--it looks like you are busy with the others when you aren't updating here.

Oh, I'm sure I'll get the hang of it sooner or later. :) I don't want to miss out.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo. The epitome of summer.
