Theme Day: Action Shot

When the first day of summery weather appeared on Saturday 5th November this year, people celebrated by heading to the Port Phillip Bay waters.
This is a photo of lots of water action happening at Dromana beach.

Theme Day: Mystery Object

Silhouettes are so enchanting, mysterious and sometimes misleading.
For this Theme Day I thought I would ask questions on this photo!
Whoever answers the questions correctly, I will ensure I visit your blog to let you know.

1. How many birds are there in this tree?
2. Keeping in mind that these birds are quite common in Australia, name the birds.
3. What Australian tree is this?

Theme Day: Perspective

Here is a perspective - living Spring worlds beyond old worlds.
This is the rambling property of Coolart at Somers viewed from inside a room in the old homestead. The property extends all the way to the shores of Westernport Bay.
In 1895, Frederick Sheppard Grimwade bought the estate and built the imposing homestead as the family's country retreat. After various owners from 1907, Tom Luxton purchased the property in 1937 and immediately had the property declared a sanctuary for native wildlife.
Thousands of white ibis nest here each year in Spring.
Now the property is open to the public to view the extensive wetlands and the glorious old homestead.
Often special events such as concerts are held in the grounds of Coolart.
The original inhabitants of Coolart were the Bunurong tribe of Aborigines and it is from the word "Colourt" or "Callert" - their name for nearby Sandy Point - that the present name of Coolart is derived.
