Raining Today

We had some light rain yesterday and the mother peacock was standing in the rain and her babies were sheltering underneath her, looked so funny seeing all those little legs.

NEW BABIES

Two weeks ago my peahen hatched 4 babies aren't they soooooo cute. They are 1 day old in these pictures.

The water way into our dam has a lot of sandstone rock (our soil here is very sandy) here is a close up after some recent rain. It can be quite pretty when the sun glistens on the running water.

Spider & Toadstools

After some recent rain I took my camera down to the dam area and found this little spider happily skimming aross the water top looking for insects.

There were also a few toadstools scattered around the place, this one was the biggest and so white. Same toadstool just took photo from different angle.

Sydney Skyline

Here is a another shot I took from the plane's window, you can still see the harbour bridge, opera house and then the city centre.

In Plane View

On my trip back from Cowra/Orange I had to fly into Sydney to change planes to head on to Brisbane, I was on a small SAAB Jet Plane and took this great photo opportunity to snap the view of Sydney Harbour through the plane window. You can see the Sydney Harbour Bridge (nicknamed 'the coathanger') and the opera house is also visible. It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy flying into Sydney and seeing this sight, especially at night. I was born in Sydney and lived there for the first 17 years of my life before I joined the Australian Army........ but thats another story LOL

The town of Orange

On my trip down at Cowra I spent some time in the town of Orange (New South Wales). A walk around town with my camera produced these photos, hope you like.

MOON 2

Last night's moon looked real eerie so took a photo
