Back Over The Hill

Yup. I've been out walking again. A storm is predicted overnight (thats not good news if you want to go cherry picking - which is what I was hoping to do tomorrow -not going to happen) Anyway the change in weather is beginning to show in the evening sky tonight although it remains very mild in temperature. I started my walk at 8.15pm this evening. Still enough light to take a few photos and the light is interesting as it throws a glow over the hill face.

Now I apologise for the number of sky shots tonight but every time I turned a corner the light had changed with the landscape.

A warm glow throwing orange light onto drying seed heads

A succession of shots and drawing in focus

And back to visit the thistles. Dont they look different in the softened lights of the evening sky, a little more orange with the purple. Already the heads have changed

This one is a favourite.. I love the veil of browny pink of the grasses and the iridescent purple in this light

fuzzy seed heads

All of that in half an hour

Still time to join in the GIVEAWAY closes 10th December comment  HERE

Birds On A Wire

I was heading off in the car to get take away dinners to night and rounded the corner to spy some of my feathered friends gathered over head enjoying a bask in the last rays of the sun.

This image is not so clear but gives you an idea of how many galahs there were

And last night I headed off to Somerton Beach to pick up Ben whom was out getting some board paddling training to be treated to such a luscious sky

Heavenly rays poking through the clouds

A panoramic sweep across the beach with my camera. So few people on the beach , its hard to believe.
