26th January 9AM




The wet Australia Day morning revealed an array of droplet covered webs. Grass is in growth mode again after the few days rain. The turf is sprouting, but has another problem - little white moths that lay larvea in the grass, commonly known as lawn grub.

24th January Clouds - Rain?


Clouds at various levels were moving in all directions across the evening sky as the sun set. What I couldn't tell was if they were putting on a show or also carried rain with them.

23rd January Rain and the City 11AM

A few were prepared for the rain today.
Exposed areas of the city mall were empty as heavy rain descended. Under awnings people waited for the rain to ease.




The Rain.





The rain, the glorious rain has come after a very dry January when my garden became parched. This shot shows the response to last nights rain. I water the garden beds occasionally from the tank but the central piece of lawn has been baked for a month.
The second image was taken 12 hours after the first after an overcast and showery day.

Come In


When I took this the Bob Dylan line 'come in' she said ' I'll give you some shelter from the storm' was playing in my head.

Remember Where You Were




WE always say 'remember where you where' when there is an important moment in history. Well today (20th January 2009) I was in Brisbane on a very hot dry day. It was still hot when we walked the dog at 5.30 PM before coming home to watch another rerun of the inauguration. Happy News for a change.
