Early morning dew
We’ve had a few foggy mornings here that have looked beautiful as the sun rose. One morning there was really heavy dew outside and I couldn’t resist going out to take some photos as the sun highlighted the areas. This is on our plum tree which is in blossom. The web above was on this…
A visit to Neville Arboretum
I visited the Arboretum during the week. Spring is definitely in the air. Cherry blossom is in display everywhere.
Bee and Apple Blossom

Kookaburra in the autumn
This shot I took a couple of weeks ago. I’d never taken a shot with a kookaburra with autumn leaves in the shot before and it appealed to me.
