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.

52:365 Snails

I haven't seen snails for so long. In fact not for years. The drought has long ago rid of them. So now with all the rain the snails are making a come back .

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.

So everything has grown wonderfully with the rain but so have the weeds.
Usually I weed once in October and the don't grow back until August. Where do I start?

44:365 Tagged

Last year we asked the students to personalize their iPads with tags and fad a handful bring one. Thiss year I gave out tags to everyone so all ipads are named and numbered.

43:365 The perfect afternoon

Our weather has dished out some extremes this summer. However today has been glorious. I've sat out the back in the sun enjoying every minute. Feels a little like Autumn is on it's way. My favorite season.

38:365 Can you see the moon?

This was such a great shot but the iPhone isn't very good at night shots. It was a slim moon near the fork of the tree while I was out walking.

37:365 Beach combing

This creature was at the beach today. I think it's an eel. Looked quite dead but I decided not too touch it and to go on my run.

36:365 Koalas aren't bears

This Koala was first spotted walking along the road. It didn't take long to go up a tree. They are very slow on the ground. Wye River has lots of koalas and yes they are not bears but marsupials. A nice change from kangaroos who are also marsupials.

35:365 Clouds

The clouds on the way down to Wye River were spectacular and changed very quickly. It was hard to decide which clouds to feature for this post. This was the evening of the floods in Melbourne and Bendigo. We managed to miss rain all the way.

34:365 Flooding

We are having tropical rain that pours and floods. The spoutings can't hold it and overflow. 110mm fell over this and the next day.

33:365 Zip bag

A bag made from a zip that goes around and around. Lois gave it to me and I thought it would be good for my idevice's cables and kits. The bright color will help it be found and not forgotten. Thx Lois

32:365 Gel inside

Finally found a gel cover that fits inside the hard shells for the iPads. The gel skin will absorb shocks when the students put them down on the table.
