THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

I TOOK A NEW ROUTE into mildura yesterday and discovered this wonderful wide expanse of lunar landscape - a mini capadoccia.

and on the way home - amazing cloud formations and about ten drops of rain

 the sky here

can be so dramatic

and there are

great expanses

of it over the

scrubby desert

landscape between

mildura and

wentworth -

bookended by

the lush green

of the irrigated

orchards and

vineyards, always

a good drive

i found this little fellow dead on the lawn yesterday morning, still warm and soft - tiny, the size of a mouse. i think mynas had killed him.  a good opportunity for a close up look and lots of photos, who knows when i'll need to use a bat in an illustration
