The river

Being so close to the city the river banks are heavily infested with vines and garden escapees. I think that is privet in flower by the water. Nonetheless it is lovely down by the waterside.

    I can't help you with the identification, but I CAN say it's magnificent!

    Yes I am sure it is Privet, pretty but gives me terrible hayfever.

    Mark, it used to put my Mum into bed with a terrible headache. Doesn't affect my hayfever. I don't like it because it seeds all over my garden and is very hard to pull out if I leave it too long.

    We used to have heaps of it along our fencelines .. old hedges I guess. We cut and killed it but there are enough remnants ours and in neighbouring gardens to be a constant pest to us.

    So Julie, yes this one really is a weed.

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.
