Do look back … 30 November 2019

I think reflecting on the past month is a wonderful way to take a breath …
I’ve come to realise in the past few months, it is at home and in my garden is where I find best balance.

Where birds comes to visit me for a change.

I’ve enjoyed a long drive between Carnarvon and Geraldton.  This is my favourite roadhouse along the way.  I found out this area is prone to flooding when it rains, and quite beautiful with numerous billabongs that attract birdlife.  The change between spring to summer has been swift.  It was a hot drive.
The highway between Carnarvon and Geraldton is long and lonely.  My colleague and I always feel carefree in these parts.  We usually stop here and stretch our legs at a lookout that overlooks Gladstone Beach in the far distance.
Geraldton has become my second home.  I’ve grown to love this place and the easy lifestyle.
Returning home from trips I found the gooseberries were turning into jam on the bush from the heat.  What happened to spring, this year?
The mulberries are plentiful and most out of my reach, except for my zoom.
In Esperance the wildflowers have disappeared and birdlife is plenty.  This wattlebird was as curious about me, as I was of it.

The wildflowers have disappeared in Foxes Lair too except for a hardy few.  I saw a blur in the bush and found it was the tiny pink trigger plants.
The pied stilt was gorgeous at Chinaman Pool, in Carnarvon, at sunset.
I’ve just returned from being away for nearly ten days and found Perth is sweet home, after all.  Now that came as a surprise to me!

It’s the first day of summer tomorrow.  I’ll be starting it in the heat of the Goldfields.

Until next time

As always
