Common seagull…

…uncommon Black Cockatoo

 

 

An old shed made from bluestone pitchers.

 

When constructed the Geelong Ring Road,

mostly ran through open fields.

Now thanks to urban sprawl there are houses

right up to the Geelong side (foreground) of the road

and I suppose it is only a matter of time

before housing estates commence

on the other side as well.

 

Dairy cows and udders.

Misery Creek Bridge.

The Bridge of Sighs was the only bridge

that I wanted to get close to when in Italy.

This was the best I could do.

2020 in review

January bushfires, although a long way from us

created some spectacular sunsets.

 

February we attended the last large gathering for the year

when our youngest graduated from

Geelong’s Deakin University

with a Degree in Business.

 

Marching into autumn we found

our supermarket shelves bare…

…due to panic buying because of a thing called COVID 19.

Soldiering on into April saw the first of several

home delivered meals arrive at our front door.

 

 

 

 

May was almost normal minus crowded outings.

Even Zoom meetings were were fast becoming

a normal way to get together.

 

My first sunrise outing came in June

after lockdown restrictions were eased.

 

By July, wInter was really upon us;

cold and gloomy mornings,

followed by cool sunny days

What better time to learn a bit more about Photoshop.

 

 

By August we were well and truly in lockdown again

and our panic buys had nearly filled a spare room.


Mid-September, out of lockdown

and spring had arrived.

 

 

When were shown this scan, of our first Grandchild

and asked to wait until the twenty-week scan

until the parents made their announcement.

So in October we could talk about the news.

  November found me on a day trip to Port Fairy

for some photography.

 

November also brought an abundance of cemetery wild flowers…


…not to mention Callistemons in our garden.

Another morning and I found myself photographing

a ship leaving Port Phillip Bay.


The last week of November our cherries were harvested.

Early December some of the fruits of

lockdown projects in the garden.

Another December task is erecting and

decorating our Christmas tree.

And New Year’s Day it will be packed away

until next December.
