A set of words to find photos for, hosted by Kate.
1. SWIRL.
A chance photo I took last Thursday, whilst out at a National Trust property, Gulf Station in the Yarra Valley. These wee little cyclamen were under a huge tree amongst much leaf litter & once uploaded to my computer I could see the cute swirly stems. A great find as I didn't have one for this word. (you may have to click on the photo to enlarge,)
2. ROCK.
One from the archives, taken many years ago whilst on holiday in New South Wales. Sawn Rocks in the Warrumbungle Ranges National Park are fascinating as to how and where pieces of rock have fallen from the cliff face of the mountains here. One lot of these look like steps.
3. WOOD.
Another from the same trip showing the inside of a gigantic woolshed in Mungo National Park near Broken Hill in the very west of New South Wales. This is not used anymore, but can you imagine it full of sheep, shearers, wool classers & pressers, plus tarboys with their pots of tar in case a sheep got cut accidently. It was awesome.
4. LETTER.
Aha, the letter "S" which makes up my three initials. We pass this frequently if we shop in a nearby town. It is located in a laneway between the shops & I've been going to take a photo for years. Well, I took my camera over the weekend and captured it.
5. BALANCE.
Koalas do a "LOT" of sleeping. Amazingly they balance on very slim branches in deep slumber and don't fall from the tree. Taken on one of our visits to Raymond Island in East Gippsland.
6. MY OWN CHOICE.
Another photo taken last Thursday of the farm dam at Gulf Station. Although I could see the reflections, they came out better than I thought in the photo.
That's my lot for this hunt. I do hope I can get some more blogging done next month, but we've much happening at the moment and I'm just a tad overwhelmed with everything.
I'm looking forward to the other photo hunter's take on the words.
Take care all & lots of huggles from down under.
Susan.

IT'S AUSTRALIA DAY
Koala photo taken on Raymond Island.
Today has been reasonably cool, so was able to get outside this morning and start some more deadheading of the many agapanthus, especially the miniature ones. I can fill the green waste bin several times over the next few months. Too many really.
The photo below is my granddaughter's library bag made yesterday afternoon. she especially wanted fairies and this Tinkerbelle fabric was all I could get. Hope she likes it when we deliver it on Monday.
Below is the WIP I started some years ago after I took a class with Kaye England in 2006 at a quilt shop in Loch. I made the 5 blocks, then decided to add some motor bike fabric. I didn't buy enough of the first one and had to find something else. I'm actually really pleased with it now and will label and send it off to my grandson.
These photos don't seem to be as good as usual, so will have to see if I've changed the settings on my camera, by accident.
Also put binding on another old quilt today, plus made a slice and some daisy biscuits.
Feeling rather tired now, so will put this to bed and get on with some handsewing.
