Linking up with Astrid for the hunt this week and although I know what I see most days, was it going to be of any interest to others? So once again I've probably been a bit wayward. Well, here goes...........
Looking from our side entrance, across the road to the farm that is basically in the middle of suburbia. I often refer to this as "Middle Farm" and realise that one day it will be cut up for housing, but at least I can see the cows grazing and a tractor working for now.
SKIES.
Looking at the sky at different times of day can be absolutely fascinating with different cloud formations and colours, so here is a selection from my archives.
The next one was taken last week about mid morning and this has been very much the weather we've had for most of November so far, though not always with the rainbow. Each of the sky photos has been taken from home.
Must admit to the garden being messy at the moment due to the incessant inclement weather, though the blueberries are netted now.
DAILY WALKING.
Not as much of this has been done lately either, but a few things we see on our close to home walks are of course trees and a couple of quaint boardwalks across marshy areas.
A beautiful white bark gum in someones front yard. I do have lots more tree photos, so only one more with a bit of a story to go with it.
This is now a vacant block which once had a beautiful 2 story art deco type house on it and I'd always admired it from when we moved to this town in 2004. We live closer now and one day as we turned the corner to come home, they were tearing it down and it has been like this for the last 3-4 years with a small sign that claims to a child care centre being built on it. As the Pandemic hit, all was put on hold, but is now about to go ahead soon. In the centre of those trees is a beautiful old lamp, that I'm going to inquire about, as it would make a lovely garden ornament.
One last photo which some will know as I used to often talk about out resident magpies and they still come and at this time of year with bubs in tow, can make an awful racket hoping I'll put out a few breadcrumbs for them. They only get a tiny bit as bread isn't good for them, but I can't help spoiling these amusingly friendly birds. I do love all our birdlife, but these are special.
Taken late last year with my Butcher bird sitting on the fence too.
OK, that's enough for me today and although it's cloudy, we've a few things to attend to this morning and I'll link up now and read all the other hunter posts tonight.
Take care all, have a great weekend and huge hugs from down under.
Views of distant farms from the paddock where we were collecting the fallen timber. Notice the mist on the lower slopes and the ranges in the far distance. Typical weather at the moment.
I noticed this lot as I was walking about.
