Morning walk


I went for a morning walk by the river, hoping it might be misty and interesting but mostly found bulrushes and weeds.









Though I really like this pale pink gum near the camp ground.

    The grasses are pretty and the camp ground looks nice.

      Yes it is a lovely camp ground. There were cobblers peg in that grass. Had to pick them all out of my coat when I got back.

      I too liked it … hence it was my feature shot. I found a couple of others like it in the perimeter fence.

    Interesting to see that it's a mixture of east coast and arid trees (is that a desert oak?) out there in Gilgandra.

    It is all looking remarkably green. "Cobblers' Pegs" - have not heard that expression for ages. Instantly, brought forth a deluge of images in my head ...

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.
