I did not notice the heron until after I took this shot. They are very good at being very still. Now, the heron is clearly moving in the photo, but I was focusing on the trees and sky and such, and herons do not move lightning fast–unless getting ready to stab their next meal.
And here they are:
And a bonus shot of the Brunette River, shot from a different perspective, as the usual spot looked quite muddy/slippery/fall-into-the-river-y:
It was another mild, pleasant day (17C). I shall try to remember these when it turns cold and The Rains settle in.
Nuts to you:
Taken this afternoon. It was sunny (as you can see) and got up to 24C, like it was still summer!
(If the forecast is accurate, this may change soon, but I’ll hang onto it for now.)
I would have shot the view to the east as well, but there was a guy sunbathing on a chaise on the river’s exposed gravel.
It was 20C and sunny, so I went out and touched trees.
What the title says.
The air quality today was not poison, hooray.
While the river is still low, I’m continuing to poke around to get views that are not normally accessible without getting very wet. Here’s another one of them.
I’ll post something of more substance soon, promise!
It’s my favourite river because it’s the closest.
Also, it looks pretty nice on warm, sunny days like today.
I don’t often shoot photos on my phone in portrait mode, which makes me a bit of an oddball, but here are three I took today when out on a stroll, using my iPhone XII.
…unless you climb over (or go under) this fallen tree first.
And a view of the Brunette River looking east, with a weird kind of glowing effect in the distance caused by the atmosphere or aliens or something.
Some shots from an afternoon walk, after some (needed) morning showers.
Shot on my iPhone 12.
