a baby has arrived in the creek

 

so sweet ... today the 'platypus' was not shy and hung around for hours.... then i realised its a baby ... i hadn't seen the platypus (the adult) for nearly three weeks ... maybe this is why ? So much great footage here as this one was quite open to its environment. so good.


and there is a bit of a cleanup required along the creek edge after a night of high winds and trees that have fallen across the creek. see video here

#getaway Hawley Beach - a short trip for a short walk

  I enjoy #getaway a few times a year and mostly head out to a beach. Sometimes I will grab a few hours and go for a walk on a local beach nearby. There are many beaches within 10 t0 45 minutes drive from here. These include Turners Beach, Burnie, Sulphur Creek, Penguin, Boat Harbour, Sisters Beach, Bakers Beach Narawantapu National Park, Ulverstone, Devonport, East Devonport, Port Sorrell, Hawley Beach. I am sure there are others within this radius to discover. The walks always bring something different each time - the nature of oceans i guess where there is its own micro-climate, weather conditions, reshaping of beaches and coastline - something different each time to discover. These 2 little videos are from Hawley Beach just 30 minutes from here. A lovely day on an empty beach cove tucked into the coastline.

D.I.Y. CAT RUN to RIVAL THE HILTON

  THEN ... (at 6 weeks old) Archie on the left, Kimba on the right in both photos. and NOW ... (at 2 years old) Having moved out to the country 10 months ago, we determined the cats would not run free on the property for a lot of reasons with protecting the wildlife on the top of the list. The wildlife here consists of a myriad of birds (redbreast robin, swallows, crows, fairy wrens, european goldfinch, parrots, eagles, kookaburras, spotted pardolot and more for us to still discover and name), small brown frog, blackfish, protected species turbo chooks, a platypus, a resident tiger snake, wallabies, blue tongue lizard and again, so much more to discover. my you-tube channel is a hold-all place for the many videos i am taking rather than posting 3 times a day here.  you can see the platypus video here - wait for it at the 1.09, 221 and 3.03-3.15 minute mark.  and the gorgeous little echidna is here. So, the cat run - due to a variety of reasons it took 9 months befo...

THE CHALLENGE OF THE GAZEBO

Once they got going it didn't take them long notwithstanding it took a long time sitting in the shade discussing what to do and what not to do. And what problems could there be before even unpacking the box. Short video as I head down, from the back of the house, on the bike to the block where they are putting up the Gazebo - this on top of the deck they put together a couple of weeks ago. looking good. Followed by some candid shots during the setup.
