Wandering around our garden during the week I spied a well developed Scotch Thistle. Must get out and do some serious weeding! On closer inspection though I spied this bee who was enjoying the thistle. Think I’ll leave it there a while longer! 🙂 Welcome to all new subscribers this week and thank you for…
Spectators
Now, this is a turnaround. Kangaroos watching a cyclist pass them by. I thought it quite funny as I looked down on them from the top of the dam wall at Lysterfield Lake Park. The kangaroos are Eastern Greys and there are many at the park. Best time to see them out in the open…
Resting place
Went to a Christmas lunch at a new friend’s place and just had to explore her garden. Found this gorgeous spot there.
Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo
These birds appear to be seasonal – they turn up once Summer is here, or well on its way. I’ve been hearing their calls here at home and at the park over the past couple of weeks but only really got to see them on Monday of this week. There were a group of six…
White-faced Grey Heron catches…?
I see the white-faced grey heron a real lot at the lake park now. It has at least two young and I sometimes see it with its young or other times alone. Yesterday morning I was walking early along the dam wall and saw it down by the water. I watched it as it dove…
White Faced Grey Heron and young
Readers will know that I am often following the grey heron around at the park. Not that I’m actually stalking it, but if I see it I slow down my walk in an attempt to get closer without disturbing it too much. But many times it sees me before I see it. Last week I…
Kangaroo crossing shared pathway
As I was walking back along the track at Lysterfield Park yesterday a kangaroo crossed the shared path that is used for walkers, runners and cyclists alike. Guess he figured it was for him too.
Kallista Market in the morning
Tomorrow I’ll be at the Kallista Market for the first of three markets this month before Christmas. New product stock is in and will be on display for sale tomorrow. I’ve also got a new green marquee in keeping with the surrounding area – I thought green would be a good colour to have. So,…
New product in!
I’m excited as my new product I’d ordered some weeks ago has finally come in. A variety of things. I didn’t want to order lots till I could see the quality first but I am happy with what’s arrived so have ordered more now. These items, amongst others, will be on sale at the Kallista…
Wallaby and Kangaroo
Those who live outside of Australia might not realise the difference between a wallaby and a kangaroo. They do look similar however there are distinct differences. Below is an Eastern Grey kangaroo joey and a Swamp Wallaby. Wallabies are short and stockier, more thick set, with a fatter tail which they use to help balance….
Betty Cuthbert Rose
This is one of the new rose bushes in our garden and it has a really pretty flower. Smells lovely too. Same bloom 2 days later.
Business cards for photographers
If you are into photography, as I am, at some point you will have either already thought about, or will now you’ve read this post, getting a business card designed. My first photography business card came from Vistaprint and I liked the design so much that I had a graphic designer do a similar style…
