Moments of Calm

Well what a chaotic week it's been ~ one thing after another!
 But I'm not going to focus on that ~ what's the point? 
 Instead I'll show you (and me!) the good bits, the pieces of calm in between.
You'll notice we've had more frosty mornings
 and the land owner across the river has been burning off
 so the smoke has made for some interesting views.  




I noticed this 'still life' while I was weeding around a rose bush.





These leaves were floating on the water trough when I went to feed the chooks.
They look as though they are surrounded by a starry night sky!



These seed cases are from our local  Blackwood tree, an Acacia. I love the curls and squiggles!




Well it's done me good to see the bits of beauty 
that I would otherwise have forgotten amidst the chaos.
I hope you've had a week where you've noticed something special
even if it's been just in passing.  I'd love to hear about it!

bye for now

Berry Beautiful!

Out and about at this time of year you can't help but stumble across berries. 
Lilly Pilly, Wild Raspberry, and the orange spiky one?  Well, I used to know it but now I don't.
 ( It'll probably come to me in the middle of the night! )

Anyway I bet they are all a great winter feast for the birds and they brighten up the track.

You'll notice Cobba sitting patiently waiting while I take photos....
well I was actually waiting patiently too, for the cattle to come across the road back home.  
So of course perfect time to click a photo of the fantail high up above us!

Every time of year has its highlights doesn't it.  
What are yours at this time of year where you are?
