Misty morning

October 8, 2011 By Kathie Thomas Leave a Comment

I’ve had a short break – busy week! And another market to prepare for which takes place this morning at Belgrave South Baptist from 9am to 1pm if anyone is nearby and would like to drop in.

During the week I was back at Lysterfield Lake Park. A short distance from my home, I often go on walks there with a friend. It’s 6.6km around the lake but we often go up another track higher up the hill and the walk is then just over 9km.

One particular morning the mist lay over the lake and the water was like a mirror. Very beautiful.

A visit to Lysterfield Lake Park

July 17, 2011 By Kathie 3 Comments

It was forecast to be very cold with frost and fog on Saturday morning so I knew where I wanted to be, if only I could get out of bed in time. And I did. The next few days’ posts will be about my visit there.

Below is the lake with mist over it and the image below that is of two women, rugged up, walking toward the fog and a rider coming back out of it. He stopped by me a minute later asking if I’d take a photo of him with his bike on his phone camera. Perhaps I should have taken one with my camera too! Mind you, I took over 400 photos yesterday

Aren’t the Maple Trees beautiful at Autumn time? This is in a park not far from home.

Scotch Thistles

The scotch thistles are out. They are a weed and I need to get rid of them but, as yet, unable to work in the garden. However, they do make for good subject matter when taking photos. And I love their colours when they’re in flower.

Bright Gazanias

I’m now getting back outside into my garden, which is such a blessing. It’s not until you lose the use of something for sometime (in my case a foot and leg) that you don’t realise how much it means to you. So glad to be walking again, even if slowly. Yesterday I enjoyed the afternoon [...]

Interesting sights you see

I was out with my husband yesterday. We were heading back from seeing the surgeon about my broken leg (by the way, I’ve been given permission to start walking again so I am, with just one crutch and can now venture outside and down steps by myself, yay!). We stopped at a bakery to pick [...]

My bio

Hello, my name is Kathie. I've enjoyed photography since my teen years but didn't take it seriously until a few years ago.

A photo of a blue banded bee I took led me to a path of discovery. I began researching to find out what kind of bee it was. I've actually learnt lots of things since that day and can now name almost every bird in this region and identify it by its call too. Apart from improving my skills in photography and learning more about my camera, lighting, settings, etc, I've learnt so much more about the environment in which I live. [Read More …]
