As some of you will know I have tried many attempts to photograph the hares I see at work – I find them beautiful but very elusive creatures and have probably hundreds of images of them running away! Yesterday I was a little luckier!….

Dawn
The sky was spectacular a couple of days ago just before the sunrise. The wind was already picking up causing the ripples on the dam on what turned out to be another really hot day.
Seeds at sunrise
The last two days have been very hot – yesterday was 38 C and so early morning is a pleasant time when it is still relatively cool. I took this at sunrise today – the grass seeds lit up by the first rays of the day.
Between a rock and a harsh place….
Another outing to the Pyalong area in north central Victoria. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I have a deep appreciation of this landscape. This is only the start of summer, but the grasses have already started to dry and its stark beauty has begun – hence taken in harsh afternoon light.
Storm clouds gathering…
Yesterday was a precursor for the stormy weather that came last night and today. I watched this sky literally churning before me yesterday late morning – it was very dramatic, if not a little unsettling. Processed using a red filter and blue toning, once again to bring out the texture of the clouds.
First cut….
I had been watching beautiful clouds all day – the weather forecast was thankfully wrong and instead of the drizzle and cold we actually got a pleasant day. I took this image on my way home from work this afternoon – first cut of hay for the season. Processed using a red filter to bring out the clouds.
Wombat 24 Mountain Bike Race
A different sort of post today – it contains people! Yesterday I went to the beautiful Cammeray Waters where the Wombat 24 was taking place. The endurance race lasted for 24 hours and it was a really well organised event with plenty going on. I should add that I was there to see the band my husband is in (The Wood Ol’ Boys), not to participate in the race, or be there for 24 hours for that matter – these guys are fit! The first image is better in full view so please click.
Here is a gallery of some of the riders
Misty Mountain…
I took these on my way home from work yesterday afternoon with a long lens (all I had!). Considering we are about to enter summer, this week has been cold and wet – we are still bringing in wood for the stove. These are clearing rain clouds on the top of the nearby hills…

Lest we forget….
At the going down of the sun…
And in the morning…
We will remember them.
