We were really hoping that after the 2024 drought and the lower than average rainfall the year before that this season would be different, but so far that doesn’t look like its going to be the case. Instead its just been unbearably hot, dry, dusty and heat wave conditions and …
It is certainly a magical experience to be able to walk outside on my front verandah and be able to witness the spectacular Aurora Australia, its certainly one more thing to add to the list of long reasons why I love living on a farm. I remember as a kid …
The summer of 2023/24 is officially the driest, longest summer we have experienced since moving to the farm. After a brief downpour in February giving us a much needed 10mm in the gauge, the extended heat has meant all the livestock are consuming far more water than they would normally …
This is turning out to be the longest, hottest, driest summer we have had since moving to Eagleburra in 2009. We havn’t had a drop of rain since the end of October, and after a well below average winter rainfall, everything is dried up and turning to dust. We’ve already …
We were blessed with another solar storm that created another Aurora Australis on 17th December. This time I had figured out my camera settings a bit better and managed to get some nice shots of the colour and beams, although it was nothing compared to the amount of colour and …
I have been lucky enough to see the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) from our front verandah on several occasions, but have never had the chance to photograph it before. But on December 1st, the aurora was nothing short of spectacular, even to the naked eye we could see colour and …
My wide angle RF14-35mm lens is seeing more action than any of the others in my kit at the moment! The sunset and clouds the other night were spectacular so I raced out just before dark to catch these shots of the hay roll paddock across the road and looking …
As pretty as these misty mornings are despite the cold, we have been having far too many fine days and not enough rain this winter.
Its so nice to see the paddocks turning green again. Its been really cold and we havn’t had much rain so far this winter but there is plenty of time yet 🙂
As much as I love a good storm, and this one was particularly spectacular, living in a rural area, I definitely prefer summer ones with plenty of rain!
