May 30, 2011 by madahmas. When despair for the world grows in me. And I wake in the night at the least sound. I go and lie down where the wood drake. Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things. Who do not tax their lives with forethought. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars.
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. The other day I visited Lake Alford in Gympie. This is a small lake right next to the highway coming in to Gympie. It is surrounded by well mown lawns, concrete paths and picnic tables.
Straddie again, sorry for the delay in this post as I have been ill for a few weeks but am on the mend now thanks to my mum - she made me go to the doctor. Well it was a great trip this time although not as many sea birds as in the seagulls and terns, although the Pied Oystercatchers were up in numbers from previous months. There were also quite a few pelicans around on Flinders Beach this time, and this particular one was feeding near some local fisher folk.
Monday, November 24, 2014. A Quick Trip to Kenilworth and Some Birds Around Home. Purple Swamphen feeding her chick some grass.
Saturday, May 10, 2014. The Last of the Summer Frogs. Ornate Burrowing Frog side view. Ornate Burrowing Frog top view, showing the circular patch between the eyes.
Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Taking a Walk with Sandy. Waterfront areas got it the worst with disastrous flooding. A family friend completely lost their house near Far Rockaway - the water just swept it away into the ocean. I live in a very elevated area, far removed from any bodies of water. The biggest problem we faced was the wind - boy was it fierce! At times, it sounded like a low flying airplane or massive truck rumbling down Broadway. I had to walk downtown to an appointment earlier today as the MTA.
Out and About with Mary Kay. Valentines shoulder blade in the Church of Sts. Is his entire shoulder blade on display? And What happened to the rest of St.
Out and About in Portland Oregon. Fun things to do in the Rose City. Out and About in Portland Oregon. Portland Farmers Market at Portland State University. These days Pine State Biscuits.
