Point Lonsdale Sky / Sea and Land (Friday Skies)

I like the way this image is split into thirds, and the uniform colour of the sky. Sometimes it feels like the sky is so huge here, and I just so small. It's hard to put my finger on why, but as soon as I arrived in Australia I noticed the sky and over 15 years later the novelty has not worn off.

World Bird Wednesday - Regent Bowerbird.

Just had to put these pictures up this week. A few people had said what great birds we have in Australia - and just to show that they were correct, here is a Regent Bowerbird. Rather splendid I must say! These birds are actually around a feeding station, but that does not make them look any less good. I was pleased to find a pair of these birds well away from this location later in the day, made me feel like I had seen the "real" bird, rather than a (more than half) tame one. As is often the case the female is not a brightly coloured as the male - but as a pair they still look good. You can find many more images of birds from around the world at World Bird Wednesday.

My World Tuesday - Autumn Weave

More evidence of the turning of the seasons – trees and bushes show up their web links in the mornings. This is one of my favorite pictures of the last few weeks – although walking through the webs to collect the paper in the morning is less pleasant. That’s why I send out the kids!

Queensland Sunset (Friday Skies)

On the same trip up to Queensland as the last post I managed to spend a few days out of the city. Stayed at a lodge in the hills a few hours south of Brisbane. As I sipped on a rather fine beer I watched the sun setting over the Glasshosue Mountains in the distance. A rather splendid way to end the day I have to say!

World Bird Wednesday - Crested Pigeon.

The Crested Pigeon is neither iconic nor clothed in bright plumage - but I like to see them anyway - and who could resist the crest!


These birds have become more common in Melbourne during the drought - now that it seems to have started raining again I wonder if they will move back inland.

My World Tuesday - Point Lonsdale

Most Australians like close to the sea - tucked between the coast and the Great Dividing Range, we hug the coast. When you see places like this I suppose its understandable.

This light house guards the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, behind which sits Melbourne.
