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.

    And your header is the Bylong Valley, too ??

    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.

    And I like this photo ... with the different layers of grass, pasture, trees, hills, sky and the animals silhouettes.

    A great rural scene and nice focus on the grass seeds.

    It looks very peaceful.

    I 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.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.

Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well.
