65:365 Early Autumn

The nights are cool and great for sleeping. The days are sunny and warm. The vines are beginning to turn which doesn't usually happen until mid to late April. So yes Autumn is here and Summer has gone.
We escaped without bushfires for the first year in a long long time. Floods have ravaged parts of the State of Victoria.
The garden has remained green all summer. I'll miss those first rains in Autumn when you see the grass growing in the paddocks day by day.

64:365 Rubbish

Why do people drop rubbish and even worse refuse to pick up unsightly rubbish? It's clean up Australia day soon. Hope everyone pitches in.

60:365 Survival and bloom

This rose shows how hardy roses can be. It grew from a cutting in a pile of dirt and has now flowered for the first time ever because of the rain and great growing conditions. It has a lovely perfume.

56:365 Evening skies

It was summer the other week. This looks quite wintery with the dead tree. It's amazing that some trees have died from too much water after surviving drought for over a decade.
We have had lots of pink clouds lately which make for beautiful evening skies.

55:365 Spiders webs

I've been trying to capture the spider webs that are everywhere at the moment. You have to have the light in the correct position to see them. We've been getting them in our hair when we walk.

54:365 Dessert

Another guitar lesson for Simon and another dessert for me. Perhaps I should be jogging Rosalind park instead. Hmm thus lemon tart was yummy. Such a nice tang.

53:365 Cathedral

The Bendigo cathedral Spire can be seen from many places in Bendigo. However I now think of the Christchurch cathedral when I see it and it's crumbled spire.

51:365 My new pencil case

Today I bought a new pencil case. Except it's not for my pencils as I don't use any. However as a child I treasured my Derwent pencils and spent pocket money buying one pencil a week to build up a set of 72.
I still think Derwents are the best pencils and the water color ones are also great. Draw then add water with a brush.
I now use pencil cases for all my cables, headphones and power cords. The brighter the better so I don't leave it anywhere.

50:365 Wye River

Two weekends ago we went down to the beach at Wye River. Katherine organized a beautiful house for our family to all stay together. This is the view we had and I realized I didn't add it to my 365blog. So it's a bit late but worth it. The house was called Azure and Wye River was perfect. Love to go back in the winter as the house would be full of winter sun with great views.
