We had a massive summer storm roll through last night that gave me the chance to practice my lightning photography. It is always stressful when there is no rain with the lightning though as the risk of fire from lightning strikes is so high.
When the vets left last night, Holly’s teat canal was able to be opened and was functional when open (well functional in that there were now two holes instead of one which will most likely be permanent). Talk about dedicated individuals – they were here for nearly two hours and …
It seems to have been a long haul of dust and red dirt this summer, but we have finally had some rain over the last 10 days and the pasture is germinating everywhere. Because it has not been too cold and we have also had some days of sun, the …

We haven’t had many night time storms for me to practice my lightning photography, so it was great to finally get the chance to try a few different things and see what works. I don’t have a wide angle landscape lens so there was a fair bit of luck in …
Fairly heavy rains upriver from us in the Blackwood Valley catchment area caused the Blackwood River to flood this year. Although we did not get any rain here, both ends of our road were closed for a few days – something that we honestly did not expect to see again …

Definitely feeling the chill now on these cold autumn mornings. Still, not much rain to speak of, but we have had some new chicks incubating which is always exciting 🙂
