we all have wood heaters around here, and these mornings the smoke often hugs the ground

heavy grey clouds obscured the rising sun and it finally got a look, just after 9am

smoke tinted sunlight caught the kangaroos by surprise, they bounded off to the back paddocks

the magpies let Vika and me get closer these days

the leaf cover on the deciduous trees by the dry creek gets thinner by the day

this one is from the other day when six cockatoos were on the fence
