Expulsion!!

I'm going to get expelled from the Daily Photo group if I don't get my act together!!
Feeling the need for some wide open spaces.
I think a drive in the bush is called for tomorrow.

Theme Day - Water (or lack thereof)

It IS so water!
It's a bit brown but it's definitely wet!
Drought conditions prevail in north-west Victoria.

Check out some of the other Daily Photo Blogs participating in today's theme day - some of them have actual blue water!
(Now, I'm supposed to add the script for the other blogs but I haven't worked it out yet..... it will be here soon.)

I Suffer For My Art!

Hope you appreciate this photo!
I got shocked by an electric fence taking it!
It was hiding in the long grass and I caught my ankle on it.
It bit me and I didn't realize at first what it was.
I made sure there were no snakes around and waited a few seconds.
As I didn't drop dead from snake venom - I thought I must have poked myself with a stick.
Later I noticed an electric fence sign further down and still didn't put two and two together.
Then when I got home I thought - oo my ankle is a bit sore.
I had a long graze across my ankle - still the penny didn't drop.
Sad, isn't it?
You'd think it had shocked my brain!

Dry as Chips

While most of the east coast of Australia struggles with heavy rain and floods, it continues to remain dry in our region.
But that is generally the pattern in Victoria - dry in Summer, wet in Winter.
Fingers crossed we get some good falls in the cooler months.
