Trascorriamo la vita sperando in un domani diverso che non verrà mai.
Accumuliamo denaro e case nella speranza che un giorno queste ricchezze
ci serviranno per vivere meglio, lasciamo passare il tempo
con la convinzione che tutto ciò diventi verità .
Ma la verità è nel nostro presente e non ci accorgiamo degli attimi che da soli
valgono un'intera esistenza per il loro significato.

Sure, we drove a long way from Melbourne to Lake Cargelligo without photographing much at all, however all was not lost - we did spend some time with some White-fronted Chats at the sewerage ponds!
There is an open section of the ponds that has plenty of these saltbush, a favourite habitat of Chat species. And while we were hoping we might see the more elusive Crimson Chats, at least we saw one species of Chat, even if it is quite common!
Having said that, the evening light was magic & this is actually the first decent photo I have of a male White-fronted Chat. There were a couple of pairs that were very busy collecting insects (I suspect they were raising young in the saltbush). The birds would often perch on the top of the saltbush & pose for a few seconds before darting off to the next spot. This particular birds was quite the gatherer - check out the beak full of bugs!
This golden-fronted woodpecker was nice enough to come to a perch I had prepared. A shower was forming so the light is a bit dark.
Este carpintero frentidorado era muy agradable y llegó a un posadero que yo habÃa armado. Una llovizna se desarrollaba en el momento y por eso la luz es un poco oscura.

The ramp at the front yard of Z Ward, just inside the gate.
Z Ward was a separate building at the Glenside Mental Hospital that catered for the criminally insane. The criteria for being an inmate was having committed a crime and posing a danger to others and/or themselves due to insanity. Built in 1885, it is now empty and preserved by the National Trust.
On a foggy day in Bonavista, NL, my wife and I went off in different directions for a few hours. She was attracted to some of the quaint bookstores and local trinquit outlets. I on the other hand, was going to make the best of the respite of rain. We were left with a white sky and a little fog, so the challenge was on to find my own treasures.
It is tough to say which item attracted me more to this final result, but suffice it to point out that there are three elements. The lovely and pristine yellow house, an enormous washed up wreck of a boat in the front yard and a bent fence. In this case it was the fence that spoke loudest for attention, while the rest is glue that holds it all together.
To me, the sunset is always a spectacle worth watching in the front row, with popcorn...like the people who live in that building probably get to do everyday.
There are three attractive beaches that are close to the village of Monreith. The largest is Monreith Bay. It is best visited at low tide when the wide expanse of sand is exposed. To reach it, park beside the A747 and take the long flight of 152 steps down to the beach below where there are public toilets. Just to the south of Monreith are the two beaches of Front and Back Bay. They are reached off the road to the St Medan's Golf Club, with a public car park beside Back Bay. Just off the road you'll see a bronze sculpture of an otter, a memorial to Gavin Maxwell, author of Ring of Bright Water. He spent his childhood at Monreith.
Liatris blooming in my new front yard. Flipped my whole yard in Florida Friendly with the help of UF Extensions program.

You can see why, in the past, the Double -barred Finch was sometimes referred to as the "Owl Finch". The white face, outlined with black, slightly resembled a little Barn Owl. They were also called Bicheno's Finch.
The periwinkle is probably to be considered in full bloom in the front yard, always delightful at this time of year.
"The common open-country woodpecker of eastern Mexico and northern Central America. It crosses the border mainly in southern Texas, where it is very common, noisy, and conspicuous. Similar in appearance and behavior to its relative, the Red-bellied Woodpecker. Where their ranges meet in Texas and Oklahoma, the two species aggressively defend territories against each other, and they sometimes interbreed."
