Mist

The mist in the mornings is amazing, so thick sometimes  you can only see a few feet ahead. It makes for the most awesome light!

 

Winter’s mist

Often in the mornings we have a beautiful soft mist settling over the streets.  It takes half the day to disappear.  I took a walk with my daughter to enjoy it.  Everything was coated with little drops of water

Around the farmlands, the barbed wire was wrapped up in spider silk, decorated with pearls of water.

And naturally lots of spider webs scattered with dew drops…

(Note my washing isn’t getting dry!  My improvised dryer is now a clothes horse and fan indoors… at least I don’t have to run to save the washing in case of rain!)

A Trip to Melbourne Museum

On a rainy day, it is a lot of fun to go to the museum.  We took the tram in to Melbourne.  The kids each brought with a book to read for the trip.  The younger two were terribly sweet, sharing a book.

My oldest really enjoyed the “Mind” gallery.

So did my husband.  He got to lie down to see what happens when you dream.

The dinosaur exhibit is always a huge favourite.  This is the view from upstairs.

  

The pygmy blue whale is still really big!

The forest gallery is beautiful, but with the open roof and the rain, we kept to the edges. 

Now and then the sun peeked through so we could venture in.

The excitement  was exhausting for my youngest.  She fell asleep on the tram trip home.

Mist in Melbourne

On Wednesday evening, the clouds came down really low over the city.  It was absolutely awesome to see the buildings disappear into the clouds.  I have not seen the city look like this before.

The rowers were also out in force.  I was cold, but obviously the exercise was keeping them warm, since they were all wearing short sleeves.

 

They really move fast!  I just love this photo.  Because of low light, the exposure was a few seconds long.
