At Lysterfield Lake yesterday, it was very still and calm first thing in the morning. I wandered around to see what might be different – who or what was visiting the lake? I found a Darter bird (sometimes referred to as the Snake bird because of how it snakes its head on its long neck)…

Calm mornings
I’ve been to Lysterfield Lake a few times in the past week. Now that my husband is home recovering from his accident and settling into daily life, working at home, having physio, etc, I can actually plan time to go out walking regularly again. I was missing it and the body weight is showing it…
Cyclocross, Melburn
Such a beautiful day yesterday (Sunday) here in Melbourne and the first round of the Melburn Cyclocross was on at Lysterfield Lake Park. My husband and I went to spend some of the afternoon there to watch the bike race and for me to get my hand back in at some action photography. I miss…

A visit to Lysterfield Lake

It was forecast to be very cold with frost and fog on Saturday morning so I knew where I wanted to be, if only I could get out of bed in time. And I did. The next few days’ posts will be about my visit there. Below is the lake with mist over it and…
