Pretty sure this gecko that I couldn’t see him

Some of the clearest night skies in Australia are available in the Goulburn Valley, Victoria. This was shot on a friend’s orchard between Tatura and Mooroopna, Victoria. He and his boys are avid basketballers. This is their family court with Pleiades just above the central gum trees.

Each morning I walk out my front door to a discovery of what must have happened overnight. There is evidence of wallabies grazing on my lawn. Possums looking for our dinner scraps which we share with them on our front lawn. Then there are the hardest nightshift workers, the spiders. These guys toil all night to catch their breakfast. Sometimes spider webs are annoying, but when the morning’s dawn light shines through them, they sparkle with grand natural beauty. Shot with a Samsung NX1, 50mm, ISO 400, f/20, 1/50

Cruising down the Gordon River, the visitor will discover this rarely accessed and very remote part of the Gordon River where the old “piners” (the pioneer loggers of Huon Pine) and early convicts used to source their material for ship-building. It is even rarer to get just the right conditions (especially while travelling along) in the Gordon River with the daylight/sunlight balance not creating too much glare but enough light to create a perfect reflection.

The joy of childhood discovery in beautiful Treachery Beach

My two daughters espied in the woods immersed in the beauty of their surroundings. To me this evokes peace, and childhood self absorption.

Watching the hot air balloons go buy just after 6am.

I awoke to find this view outside my front door. It was a fresh reminder that despite the troubles of yesterday, today is a new day.
