Yesterday my friend Robin drove up from the city. After a quick cup of tea we jumped in his car and I took him on a tour of the backroads around here. It was lovely to be the passenger for once. We just cruised around the dirt roads stopping whenever something interested us. We had a fine old time snapping away merrily.
The highlight of the trip for me was spotting a wedgetailed eagle perched on a ledge in a local quarry.

Ooh, I love your eagle. That’s one of my most favorite things to do, drive and drive along the dirt roads outside of town. In the summertime we would all pile in Jim’s old rattletrap, roll down the windows and just go. I miss that.
GORGEOUS photos
You have a great camera and a GREATER eye! Thanks for sharing your eye and country
Outstanding shots, Kim!
I love that first photo. The grey rocks poking through the cliff face look like really large lizards (pre-historic?)that got caught in some type of time warp avalanche and became petrified.
Beautiful collection of pics!
Amazing photos of the eagle! I see a man in those rocks! Lovely to see a bit of your countryside .. so much like ours.
Wow. That eagle is spectacular. Very cool.
you have a great eye for texture Kim!
The metal structure reminds me of a spider.
What fabulous photos! I love to see yours ~(and Vonnie’s) photos of your area as it’s just so radically different from where I live, like peeking into a different world.
Love to you all, BG Xx
You’ve had some amazing photos on here of late! Such pretty wildlife and scenes.
Amazing photos! A great eye you have
I especially love the one of the tree on the hill, and the last one, of the track you are driving on – the road, the earth, the clouds in the sky – perfect.
Any idea what that structure is? How great looking is that!
Excellent photos. Thank you for sharing the Eagle, a treat indeed.
Amazing shots Kim. Nature can be so humbling, really makes mankind look quite small in the scheme of things.
I know where that is!!!
Fantastic photos!
I would love to just take a day and go take photos with a friend, that’s a great idea! Too bad we don’t have anything as interesting as this in Kansas City… or at least I can’t find it! I love all your beautiful pictures!
Oh, Kim. They’re beautiful – so very beautiful.
Wow, these are so evocative. I especially like the two photos of the old hay shed – makes me wonder what stories from the past still cling to the frame and the land.
I came over from B South’s page – I follow some blogs from England and America, but Tasmania’s a first! I’m looking forward to exploring vicariously!
