At the arboretum, sitting in our fave shaded area, we delighted in the sights and sounds of nature all around us. There were ducks and Canada Geese coming and going, swimming back and forth. There were turtles sunning on logs and swimming at the water's edge. Dragonflies zipped back and forth, and the air was alive with the sounds of songbirds.

 

There was just so much to see and hear I decided to film just a few minutes to share our change of scenery. If you look closely, you can see the turtle heads popping up at the water's edge.

 

Alas, not the best video as the camera wouldn't always focus, the supersensitive microphone picked up people talking which we did not hear, and "clicked" when the wind blew or when I touched the camera. This "unwanted noise" is why I usually add music to my videos, but I decided the sounds of nature outweighed the "other sounds" this time.

 

😊 For something a little different, here's a rather uplifting song/video I recently discovered. Hope you enjoy! 😊

More spring flowers that my wife has planted in the half whiskey barrels that we have on the patio behind the house. Again, I'm not much of a flower expert so I don't know what these are but she did a great job selecting and transplanting them to where they are now.

Another cooler but sunny day here in Sydney today, so I wandered around to my neighbour's garden to see if there was any action. There were so many bees (and even a Skipper butterfly) hanging around the Bird of Paradise bush.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the weekend! This is one of my Hipsta shots I took this weekend...

 

Anywho...will be back in a bit to visit streams... =)

 

I had loaded this up a different way and for some reason the comment section wasn't available...should be fixed now...

flowers in my garden

I have been busy today preparing for our trip away. We are heading up to Hervey Bay tomorrow morning to see my son and his family and other friends on the way. We will be away for around two weeks and we are taking a laptop with us but not sure if we will have wireless access.

Sorry for adding so many photos, but I had the most amazing day today. A friend and I went whale watching off the heads of Sydney Harbour. We were supposed to go last week but I got a tummy bug and today it was supposed to be very windy which did make it a bit choppy but not too bad. We saw three pods of whales and a couple of them came quite close to the boat. I was hoping to see them jump out of the water, but I did manage to get a couple of tail slaps.

This was taken back in January - I haven't seen many dragonflies around this Summer.

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie

That's amore

When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine

That's amore

Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling

And you'll sing "Vita bella"

Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay

Like a gay tarantella

 

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool

That's amore

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet

You're in love

When you walk down in a dream but you know you're not

Dreaming signore

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli

That's amore

 

Written by Harry Warren and Jack Brooks. Made famous by the one and only Dean Martin.

I always loved the part about pasta fazool.

in front of my kitchenwindow a new friend say`s to me:

spring is coming !!

look the Hedgehog family in the garden

Sunflowers (aka Balsamroot) in full bloom in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon as storm skies coming rolling through. This is an old image that I must have passed over because it was more time than I wanted to invest for a high ISO multi-shot miss-aligned scene. Newer tools and better skills make for a cleaner image than I would have had many years ago.

 

As usual in this area the wind comes flying through and the only way to normally slow the flowers down for them to be sharp is faster shutter speed (i.e. higher ISO). Yet who would enjoy this if it was easy all the time, that wouldn't be any fun!

First Bee macro of 2013. It was a beautiful day today. Lots of sunshine and a temperature of 17º C. It is so nice to see all those insects again.
