Blue butterfly


On the way back to the car I spotted a blue butterfly, the other thing that appears on all the advertising literature for these parts.  And once again I didn't get the significance of it until I had seen one with my own eyes.  They are big and spectacularly blue but annoyingly difficult to photograph because they like to fly high.  All I got was this silhouette.

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.
