These are just some of the dogs that passed my stall on my day at the market. If you were at the market why not share what was your favourite part of the market?
Local market
I really enjoy participating at local markets. I’m still new to the area, having been here almost three years now. There’s lots to see and learn about and many people to get to know. Having a stall at the local market not only lets people know about my existence and what I do as a…
A visit to Victoria
I took my young Canadian visitor to Grant’s Picnic Grounds as well. Always a favourite with tourists, you get to feed the birds and get up very close to them. He was delighted and enjoyed the experience. These birds are Sulphur-crested Cockatoos.
Australian birds
I mentioned a few days ago about taking a young Canadian visitor around to some of my favourite places to take visitors. He loved seeing all the birdlife. Here are more birds we saw that day. Sacred Ibis – these birds are scavengers and are frequently seen near places where people have been eating. Male…
Unexpected sighting
I went to Lysterfield Wednesday afternoon, after seeing a client and before returning home. It had been a lovely afternoon, the power had been off all day at my place due to power works being done and I didn’t feel in the need to rush back. So I wandered around a bit enjoying the scenery…
Red-tailed black cockatoo
I’d not seen one of these before. I was taking a young Canadian visitor around and showing him a bit of our beautiful countryside and bird and animal life. Healesville Sanctuary was one of the places we visited and we were told about the parrot cage. I don’t remember hearing about that before so off…
Kangaroos in the park
Especially for my American and Canadian friends, two roos that were close to my car as I came back from my walk on Thursday. Sometimes I can get almost close enough to touch them, but I don’t. They’re wild animals, could react in a way that would not be pleasant at all, and I don’t…
Two views of the jetty
Still at Lysterfield Park on that lovely day.
Lysterfield Lake, looking beautiful
This is a panoramic view from my favourite jetty taken last Thursday which was a beautiful sunny day.
Huge leaf
Saw this huge leaf on the ground at home the other day and wondered where on earth it had come from. Then as I wandered around the garden I noticed a tall tree at the side of our property that I’d not taken a lot of notice of in the past and realised the leaf…
Back at my favourite park
In the middle of what seemed like an early winter we suddenly have had 3 days of beautiful sunshine. I couldn’t go out on Tuesday because of client commitments (meetings) and the same yesterday but today I had all of today in my own office, after being at my weekly BNI meeting. So, I took…
The beautiful dahlia
As Autumn is drawing to a close and winter is nearly upon us, the garden is starting to look bare with leaves scattered all over the ground and the trees looking bare. This dahlia was in full bloom recently though and looking very beautiful.
