As you can see I am back and I hope to be posting photos on a more regular basis!
The drought left me quite despondent because I would walk around with my camera for ages and all I would see was the effect of the drought! Depressed might be a better description and as photo opportunities became less I no longer enjoyed what I was doing. I felt that I needed a break and so, after three and a half years of regular postings I bailed out for a while!
I apologise for the long absence - September and October also happened to be a very busy and trying time for our family. My mother and niece were both very ill, but we are thankful that they have recovered and are back home after a lengthy stay in hospital.
To top it off, we had twenty puppy paws pattering around the house - gorgeous little creatures, but a lot of hard work was involved! Fortunately the puppies have found good homes and all tails are wagging!
We have had our first Summer rains and thunder storms. Not to mention power outages :)
Coming back after a visit to my mother late this afternoon, I was surprised to find this Long-Crested Eagle perched on a fence pole still in the same area where I spotted it earlier when I could not stop because there was a vehicle close behind me.
The bird was clearly keeping a beady eye on anything that moved on the ground!
Hopefully it found itself a tasty snack for dinner.
