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…

Today we went to Anglesea which is on the Great Ocean Road, in Victoria, Australia. Click on the link to read its amazing history. The waves were big and the wind was up, dramatic scenes and white horses galore!
This is one of the trellis systems at work. It is a large block which is nearly 4 Ha in area. I have often seen this image in my mind, and after trying it with a wide-angle lens (which didn’t work) I finally took this at 300 mm which not only has compressed it, but also ‘fits’ the image I had.
The other afternoon these ewes with lambs caught my attention. It was actually the second image that I first saw – neatly arranged brown and white bottoms round the hay bale, but as I watched, I saw there was a quite a bit of pushing and shoving between the brown and white ewe. I couldn’t resist the last image with the little lamb!
As I have mentioned in a previous post, this vista is one I see everyday at work. The constantly changing light fascinates me. I watched it just after sunrise today and caught this light just before the ridge completely vanished behind clouds of heavy drizzle. I liked the light through the distant tree line and the brooding clouds.
Last weekend we went to Healesville Sanctuary which is part of Zoos Victoria. They are home to Australian natives and also care for more than 2000 sick, injured or orphaned natives every year through their Australian Wildlife Health Centre. The Dingo exhibit is my favourite and we had the chance to watch these two siblings at play.
