More images from the sunset. There were a lot of birds around, it was lovely watching them and they added to the scene.
Mordialloc Sunset
We’ve been getting the most amazing sunsets lately and after a few days I decided I really wanted to get down to a beach to shoot a sunset. After checking the map for nearest beaches and discussion with my husband, I decided to go down to Mordialloc as there is also a marina down there…
Beautiful Crepe Myrtle
Our Crepe Myrtle has turned the most beautiful colour. It probably won’t be long before it loses all of its leaves. Sunday was a beautifully glorious day with blue skies and the leaves look just wonderful with the blue background, don’t you think?
Sunset at home
We don’t get to see much of the sunsets at home because of all the bushland at the back of our property. When the sun sets southward we just can’t see it at all but on Sunday night Graham came and knocked on the office window and told me I should get outside quickly to…
Sunlit maple leaves
These past few days have been absolutely gorgeous here in Victoria, Australia. I really do love Melbourne’s Autumns – it’s the best time of the year. Warm days, cool nights, beautiful colours, fog and mist, great sunrises and sunsets. Our two maple trees have begun changing colour and this is the upright with the leaves…
Aging Mushroom
We’ve had only a very small number of mushrooms in the garden so far. I’m hoping we get a lot more as we have had in previous Autumns. This one was a large white one that started to keel over. I liked the colouring underneath and then noticed a bug on the stem once I…
April Blog Carnival
A bit later than I’d originally intended but here are the posts for this month. Please do visit each site and let the photographers know that you found them here at the Nature Blog Carnival. From Stephen Vanderpool we have Fishy Faces at Monterey Bay Aquarium Boasting over 600 species of aquatic plants and animals,…
A photo a day, 365(+1) days a year
Some of my readers will know I’ve been participating in Project 365 – a photo a day for the past 2 years. Of course, it’s Project 366 this year. I started doing it with a group of photographers at the Australian Photography Forum and, at the time, didn’t realise how popular this project is amongst…
Misty mornings
I love those misty mornings with a promise of a beautiful Autumn day. I’d heard someone had seen a number of photographers lined up along Lysterfield Road to capture the sunrise so thought that since I had to drop my husband off early to the train station in Belgrave, and I had a business meeting…
Silvereye Triptych
I got a series of shots a couple of days ago of several Silvereye. Accredited online colleges can get you the training you need to take great photographs like these. This one was eyeing off the fig, watching me, going for the fig and back watching me. Thought it an ideal opportunity to get a…
Why is this fig so important?
I hope you all had a great Easter break. I even took a break from my blog here – family things happening, attending church services and also breaking in a new computer. I’m still transferring stuff from the old one but am at about 85% capacity now. Today’s photo was taken a couple of days…
The Golden Hour
I’ve had a fascination for the ‘golden hour’ recently and have taken some shots at the local lake park during that special time at sunrise or sunset. But during the week I was on my way to a business breakfast in a local suburb and while in the cafe paying for my breakfast noticed the…
