Lockdown day whatever …

[margaret_r]

About halfway through lockdown and it looks like we will be coming out of it on the prescribed date, i.e. next Tuesday, which is good news. There will still be restrictions though.

And it’s cold! Storms have been coming through all day and there was a lightning strike right over our house that frightened the bejesus out of me, and the dogs, judging by their stunned looks. The cat didn’t stir.

Anyway, I promised a picspam

To start off, cockatoos and a magpie




We took a walk along the Goulbourn River at Seymour, which is very pretty











The Victorian heritage-listed old Goulburn River bridge



a dairy farm along the walk






And there was bird life of course

A female superb fairy wren



And here's the male



some crimson rosellas





The more arty stuff, this one taken in the rain



And a close-up-water river shot



Think that's enough for now.

The gang came to us for Easter so I'll post some more photos of where we went and what we did later.

Beautiful shots, I love rosellas and yet I can never get decent photos of them because they too quick to fly away. The park bench looks like an inviting spot to sit but the bridge... I think I'd give that a miss. I like the drops of water on the leaves, very arty indeed *g*

Rosellas are hard to photograph, they don't stay still long enough to get a decent photo usually, unlike rainbow lorikeets that just about pose for you. These ones were on the ground (obviously) but almost hidden in the shadows of the trees. I took loads of photos but only a few were worth anything.

That bridge is closed to traffic now but retained for it's historic value. I have no doubt I drove over it in days gone by, when travelling Victoria with my parents. We lived not all that far away. Being in the area always brings back memories.

Glad you like my 'artiness'*g*

Lovely pictures - I particularly like the ones of the bridge.

Thank you! It's a lovely walk down that section of the river and the bridge.

So enjoying your photography as always. Loved the composition of the first one.

I was pleased with the way that one turned out:) You never know until you see the result onscreen. Glad you're liking the display:D
