Playing in the rain.

Today again was thundery, was raining and dawn.  Great fun was had with the stick and general running about! We both got wet!!

Food for thought.

A week and a half ago I bought a small mushroom growing kit.  I’ve never grown them before. They are Pearl Oysters and I think they are dinner tomorrow!

Darling Dahlias.

Heading towards late summer the Dahlias are starting to bloom.  One of my favourites at this time of year, the sheer variety of their shapes and colours always amazes me.

Fly fishing?

Yesterday was a day of dramatic thunderstorms.  During the afternoon, before the later storms, it became very hot and humid.  The surface of the dam was busy! (Click on the images for the best view).

Sheep 2 Boulder Threes Two trees and a fenceFor a long time I have wanted to visit the Tooborac region which amazingly is only 30 minutes drive away.  Despite it’s close proximity, the landscape is so very different… in some ways it is like another world.   It is a seemingly desolate land of dry grass, boulders and sheep.  The outcropping stone is granite.
