Woodland

The theme this week at Our BeautifulWorld is Woodland.
I live in a coastal area where there isn’t much woodland.  So on the way to visiting my mother I took a slight detour to the small historic town of Steiglitz.  The town was one of the richest goldfields in Victoria but today it is a virtual ghost town.  It’s in the beautiful Brisbane ranges and is surrounded by bush. 

My husband is very interested in this topic.  He is an historian and has written on industries in some forest in Victoria.   I asked if he would mind sharing some of his photos and he obliged.  Some of these photos are his and some are historic




 This photo shows the bed of an old tram track

This is after a bushfire in the Wombat Forest.  Most of these trees will grow back.  

 I love going out into the bush,  particularly after rain.  I just love the smell then, it's so beautifully fresh.


Have a lovely weekend and thank you for visiting.

One

Last week on Our Beautiful World they were celebrating their first birthday with a BLOG HOP and the request was for photos of us when we were one (you still have time to link up). The theme is continuing this week with the cue word being ONE or 1.  

Work has kept me busy this week so last night I had nothing.  My husband brought out some athletic ribbons he had won as a school boy.  They were for first place.  I wasn’t sure if this would count.


So in desperation this morning I photographed the first page of a book.  Do you know how many books don’t put one/1 on the first page?


Then shopping in a lovely French themed shop and I saw this clock.
 

And finally the first thing I saw in the supermarket was this stack of flour.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for visiting.

Scavenger Hunt - June

I have been popping in and out of Made With Love photo scavenger hunt for a while but have never been able to complete the challenge in time to join in.  I still missed one item and due to work commitments wasn’t able to post this any earlier.  So I hope it is okay to enter? 

B is for Bridge
Road bridge over the Barwon River

10am
My Aunt's old clock

Spoon
Found at the Castlemaine Renovator’s Barn

Puppet
My son's old Sooty hand puppet.

You again.
 Earlier in the year on my way to work I would see this decorated bike.  It was such a happy object I came to look for it.  Then it disappeared. 
 Three weeks ago I saw it again.

Water
The Barwon River

Habitat

Soccer
An assortment of children’s balls in a supermarket bin

Calm
Eastern Beach, Geelong

Man Made
Carousel Eastern Beach Geelong
  
Open
A local take-away
  
Steam
This was a fail.  I thought it was going to be the easiest but now I have dozens of photos of kettles but no steam.

I have enjoyed getting out finding the objects and so has my little dog.  All the new places and smells to explore has been doggie heaven for him.

Many thanks to Greenthumb.

Thank you for visiting.
