The Australian bush may not be postcard perfect but I love it ... happy Australia Day.

  1. Happy Australia Day! I think the Australian bush is postcard perfect. Certainly my sort of postcard. :)

  3. Postcards are over-rated. They reflect cliches for folk who cannot think for themselves.

    I like the colours of our bush, but I especially like the smell of our bush.

    Not sure that I like Australia Day. It tends to bring out the drongo in us.

  4. Well, that depends on your point of view!! Your shot looks VERY Frederick McCubbin - and his paintings are BEYOND postcards!!

  5. Yes Red the colour here is very McCubbin.

    Julie, I have warmed to Australia Day since they run it on the fixed date, though the date can be contentious.

    As for postcards ... I wonder how many of the shots we put in our blogs would rate as postcards (hence cliche by Julie's definition).

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.

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.
