By the River 1 of 2


We went down to the river in the evening to see what we could spy.  Isn't s/he lovely.

    Very delicate. But what bird is that? I am on a train so not able to meander over to the bird-book shelf. Love the spindly legs.

    It looks like a blue Heron to me. I love his little foot lifting off. A super clear shot.

    I like how you captured the bird in action. Just as good as capturing one in flight.

    According to my sources, it's a White-necked Heron (previously called Pacific Heron). Such a beautiful line of neck, wing and leg!

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.
