The building on the dam wall provides a great opportunity for watching the sun rise and seeing it bathed in gold once the sun has reached over the tree tops in the background.

Mist upon the lake
Looking back over the lake I could see the mist rising. As the sun got closer to peaking above the tree tops the mist would begin to move and go over the wall.
Lysterfield Lake Photowalk
The next few days I’ll be posting images from the photowalk I did on Tuesday. I was quite happy with what we saw and what I was able to capture and am looking forward to seeing the photos of the others that were there also. When I arrived I made for the dam wall, where…
Beautiful morning at Lysterfield
Met with a group of photographers this morning at Lysterfield Lake Park for a sunrise photowalk and it was worth it. There was a small mist over the lake and the waters were calm. Absolutely gorgeous. I was there for nearly two hours but wished I could have stayed longer – I had another appointment…
Great Crested Grebe
I see this bird regularly in the lake at Lysterfield but had no concept of its real size till yesterday. I thought it was a small bird and I could only go by what I saw – its head, neck and top of its back. It didn’t look any bigger than the small black cormorants…
Golden morning sunrise
Now I’m back on my two feet, I’ve begun visiting one of my favourite parks again – Lysterfield Lake Park. I’ve been walking across the dam wall and partly along the beach too. I’ll stay off the tracks for a little while longer – at least the ones where I need to climb hills and…
An evening at Lysterfield Lake
Graham and I went back to the lake one evening a few nights ago, to witness the sunset there. We don’t get to see it where we live, except through trees. I had hoped for something a bit more spectacular but it was a relaxing evening at least – as you’ll see from the pic…
Sunset at Lysterfield
I talked my husband into taking me to Lysterfield Park on Friday evening. I’d been walking a total of two days, with the aid of a crutch, and I was itching to get outside again. He was a bit reluctant but took me anyway, and watched over me very carefully as I made my way…
Sunset at Lysterfield
A couple more sunset shots – both taken at Lysterfield Lake prior to my accident.
Holiday Season – Lysterfield Lake Park
One of my favourite places to visit. Literally only 10 mins from where we live but it’s not a long hike from the city of Melbourne either. Lysterfield Lake Park is popular for so many reasons: walkers, runners, mountain bikers, people coming to have a picnic, relax, swim in the warm weather, learn to sail,…
Close up to a Kangaroo
If you’re visiting Australia, in particular, Victoria, and would like to get up close to a kangaroo in the wild, then I encourage you to visit Lysterfield Lake Park in the early morning hours. Anytime from sunrise till about 9am you’ll see these beautiful animals grazing in their family groups, by the lawns, carpark, even…
Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra)
I used to think these were moor hens but know different these days. I love that my love for nature photography has increased my knowledge, or my hunger for learning, so much more these days. I often get family and friends now asking me what bird is that when we see or hear one when…
