On the weekend my husband was participating in an MTB race at Albury. It was a 6 hour enduro and he was in a duo and there were two more friends in another duo. Their team name is Team Sally. They’re in pink tops. If you want to see all the pics then click here.
Below are just two samples of the action last Saturday.
I got up early on Sunday morning to head down to Mentone, not far from our home. The annual ‘Around the Bay in a Day’ bike ride was on and I knew that riders had set out from 5.30am in the morning – staggered groups with some leaving at 6.00am and later.

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 [...]
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 …]
