Redwood Forest, Warburton...

28/5/2018

​Hidden away on a gravel road a bit past Warburton in the Yarra Ranges is a plantation of California Redwoods that seems so isolated that it supports my theory that nature can either soothe your soul or give you the heebie jeebies. Of course, these things can depend on your state of mind and whether you’re alone or not.

Mooching around in Malmsbury...

And now for something completely different: some old looking photos that aren't really old at all but are the product of a misguided afternoon spent messing about with software in pursuit of creativity.

Malmsbury Viaduct over Coliban River circa 2018
I'm playing with a few things lately: my camera remote which had been acting up and which Him On The Couch fixed because he is really quite clever; some camera filters that I purchased a filter bag for, making them easy to access but not scratch); the Nik Collection software and its fancy pants Analog Efex Pro editing presets; and this website and its new ability to resize singular pictures like that one up there, and this one down here:

Alowyn Gardens, Yarra Valley...

8/5/2018

The Antipodean autumn is in full swing here in Brunswickwestfordshire. The nights are getting cooler, the days are darker, and actual rain has presented itself a couple of times to tease my plants into thinking they might not die of dehydration. I’m quite sure some of them will cark it over winter, but it’ll more likely be of neglect than lack of water. The grapevine that never has any grapes is shedding its leaves and the wind kindly deposits them in a heap at the front door for me to sweep up every few days. I can do with nature, but it really should learn to clean up after itself!

These buggers are destined for my door mat
One great thing about winter’s approach is that the devil birds (aka moths) that proliferate the warmer months tend to bugger off, which pleases me greatly because they are evil, kamikaze creatures that serve no purpose but to scare the crapola out of me with their stupid dive bombing antics. They do have a tendency to hang around gardens though. Maybe I should embrace the metal approach:

I'd like to see a cabbage moth gnaw on this!

J Ward at Ararat…

I was going to call this post “How to cram loads in, in one day” and then tell you to:
  1. drive fast,
  2. don’t spend too much time in one place, and
  3. don’t engage with the tourists (they bite)
because these are the basic tenets of getting stuff done. Also, this post was originally going to be about Naracoorte, Bunjil and Ararat, but there were so many pictures and I have a tendency to waffle on a bit and before I knew it, I’d decided to do two posts [the first one's here if you missed it] and and and... where was I?
