Quiet days at home

Having a few quiet days at home this week and couldn't miss the opportunity to take some "sneak peeks of peaks" - that's Double Top (afar) and The Twins (middle foreground). From Double Top the range continues into New South Wales. This is the view from my studio window (instead of facing the big tidy up it needs). A little closer is Mount Greville (below) and Mount Frazer (behind) with a little cloud snagged on the canopy. The rain has brought such a fresh look to the place - vivid greens accompanied by the riot of colour and noise in the galahs and my favourite little people, the wrens. Plenty of inspiration for the next project .....

Rain, rain here to stay ...


The view to Brisbane ...
We have not experienced a fall day of blue sky in months. As we near the second week of summer it seems incredible that we have not had a day reach 30 degrees C. Today is as bright as we've had for weeks ... the glare of the sun breaking through the permanent mist. Mount Fraser is completely whited-out, as is the Teviot Range and Mount French. Everything is shrouded in mist with no end in sight.
I love the rain and the way it cleanses the soul, the squelch of saturated earth and the choir of amphibian tenors serenading potential lovers in the gullies.The WMBM has cabin fever and has started construction on the Ark. 
Lost: Mount Fraser

It will be weeks before we can get into the paddock - the water table has risen so far the worms are drowning. Good for the water table. The worms might have a different perspective.
