Wikipedia: “The Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve contains formations of naturally rounded and oval boulders called Karlu Karlu by the local Aborigines. The area is located near Wauchope, 114km south of Tennant Creek in Australia’s Northern Territory … the boulders are suffering from solarisation. Because the temperature differences between day and night are so great, the rocks expand and shrink a little bit every 24 hours. This causes some rocks to crack, sometimes even splitting them in half.” [Wikipedia entry] / Copyright © 2007 Brian W. Schaller – All rights reserved.

In the chilly hours and minutes, / Of uncertainty, I want to be, / In the warm hold of your loving mind. To feel you all around me, / And to take your hand, along the sand, / Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. When sundown pales the sky, / I wanna hide a while, behind your smile, / And everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find. For me to love you now, / Would be the sweetest thing, ‘twould make me sing, / Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind. When rain has hung the leaves with tears, / I want you near, to kill my fears / To help me to leave all my blues behind. For standin’ in your heart, / Is where I want to be, and I long to be, / Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind. Catch The Wind – Donovan

Lake Somerset, nr Brisbane, Qld (Sat 6th Dec 2008). Having been at only 35% capacity in Jan 2008, due to drought, Somerset, unlike the other dams supplying Brisbane, has risen sharply to now stand at 92%. Somerset is now in the position of being able to have the gates opened if need be, to allow water to flow into Lake Wivenhoe currently at only 33% capacity…....it’s beginning to look a whole lot better than the last couple of years. It is close of day and the pelicans moving off, (top right), give warning of the approaching storm from the left. Storms often arrive at close of day on warm balmy days in SE Qld and many visitors are caught unawares. As we were approx 120k from home, we didn’t outrun the storm but luckily, there was no hail.

I’ve just gotten back from my first visit to Tasmania, and well, what can i say?? It’s simply awesome! I did not know much about this small isolated part of Australia before i went.. But i know a bit more about the place now such as Tasmania is comprised of about 40% Reserves, National Parks and World Heritage Sites. It snows in Tassie in the middle of Summer! A white Xmas in Australia? i had no idea! Anyway, about the photo! This was taken in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. This Franklin-Gordon River has some history. It was fought for by The Wilderness Society in one of Australia’s largest ever conservation fight. A dam on the Gordon River. Thankfully, it’s still flowing free!!!! On this day i was there, it was really flowing free, and that’s a beautful thing to see.. it was snowing up in the Mountains, the rain was coming down, Nelson Falls, was bucketing down that it was so hard to get a photo due to the spray coming off them! I managed to get a shot, and thankfully my camera hasn’t died due to water damage! =) That’s why i named this shot “Stormy Serenity”. It looks peaceful, yet, Mother Nature was actually putting on a wonderful show with an incredible backdrop. Going here really made me think about how lucky we are to have this amazing world around us.. i cant imagine how anyone would want to ruin it for a dam.. thankfully they haven’t but it breaks my heart to think of how many sights like this around the world that have already been lost for whatever reasons.. We really, really need to look after this planet!!!! Also, 100% of profits from this image will be donated to The Wilderness Society. Without them, the picture wouldn’t have happened!

I live in the suburb of Wattle Park in Adelaide, South Australia. Ferguson Conservation Park is a rare remnant of what originally consituted the environment of the Adelaide Plains. The Park is right in suburbia. / With temperatures around 45 deg this summer, I think even the trees are praying for some relief from the unrelenting heat. / As dusk approaches and the light softens you can feel the heat radiating from the nearby roadway. The bark is peeling off the gums in large strips. The base of this shot is cropped rather heavily to remove a wooden fence. Perhaps I could have left it in place? / Nikon D90 1/30 18mm F5.6 ISO 360.

Kelp at Wine Glass Bay, Freycinet National Park, Tasmania. Kelp leaves called fronds can grow up to 50 centimetres a day and it forms dense canopies up to 35 metres above the seabed. Most of us eat kelp regularly, by consuming ice-cream or jelly. Products made from kelp are used to thicken these foods, and other products like toothpaste. In Australia, giant kelp is harvested from the beaches of King Island in Bass Strait. The size and number of giant kelp beds in Tasmania has greatly fallen over the last 30 years. Only about five per cent of the original area remains, and the kelp forests are threatened with local extinction in some areas. Scientists think that a number of factors may be causing this decline: Over-harvesting in some areas The fall of dissolved nutrient levels in the ocean waters of Tasmania The increase in water temperature off eastern Tasmania: a rise of 1.5°C since the 1960s. To ensure that the giant kelp forests stay around into the next century, they need to be protected in marine national parks and reserves, and the threats affecting them need to be stopped.

See extra large view here Heading for Sister’s Beach, Tasmania, I saw a glimpse of water through the bush and turned up the next dirt road to investigate…...............I found Lake Llewellyn, which appeared to be formed by the damming of Sister’s Creek and which I managed to identify from the sign at the edge of a small boat ramp. A couple of small cottages were located along it’s bank and the opposite bank appeared totally inaccessible. It was a beautiful location but wasn’t marked on the map so on my return to mainland Oz I decided to research it via google. I am nevertheless, none the wiser as info is scant. What I did learn though is that it is home to the Giant Freshwater Lobster, the biggest freshwater invertebrate in the world growing to a metre in length and up to 4kg in weight. An endangered and now totally protected species, it is the research as to it’s endangerment that discovered it in several locations in the SW when it was originally believed to only inhabit Northern rivers emptying into the Bass Strait. Females do not mature until approx 14 yrs of age and males around 9yrs and they spawn only once every two years, this, and the fact that they were once hunted, has led to their decline.

Here a Roseate Spoonbill cries after some local Grackles just finished buzzing his place of solitude on top of this tree snag. The confrontation only lasted a few seconds, but you could tell he had no compulsion to move. Picture taken at Green Cay Wetlands in Boyton Beach, Florida, USA.

Captured in rural Boulder County, Colorado….let me just say this was honest to God unbelievable to photograph. I had to handhold these shots because of my bum knee and well, the lightning was going crazy right above me. But I managed to get some dang nice shots off. This being one of them. I am really happy with this one, I debated about a square crop, but in the end I figured why the heck not, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right folks?

Featured in Mountains Across the Globe group Dec 2009 (Continued from The Grandfather) This is another view of the south face of Grandfather Mountain from Beacon Heights in western NC. His is a long reclining range of rock promontories; center frame is a view of the western most crests. The famous Linn Cove Viaduct is just east of here on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Viewed from the other side, the range is a profile of a grandfather lying face up and searching the sky. I get a sense that at any moment, he’ll sit up, charge is pipe, take a practiced draw beneath a lighted match, and then the story will come. I can almost smell the aroma of pipe smoke wafting about his brow as wisps of clouds. I’ve heard before the story he’s telling now; it’s called ‘The Man Who Planted Trees,’ but he’s telling a version more tailored to Appalachia. It’s got the smell of spruce and hemlock about it and the feel of sugar maples turning red in autumn breeze. His story goes something like this: “My grandfather never had much to say to me; he was as distant as those stone peaks there on the horizon. My father was cast from a similar die; as a kid I spent a lot of effort toward attracting their notice. Sometimes when it came, it left a lasting impression on me even after the color underneath my skin had faded away. But that’s all water under the bridge over Wilson Creek. “There’s just something about the mountains that keeps calling me back,” the grandfather explains. “I found them as a child; it was like my life started over, like in the John Denver song, ‘Rocky Mountain High,’ where he sings, ‘He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year, coming home to a place he’d never been before; he left yesterday behind him; you might say he was born again; you might say he found the key to every door.’ Some’ll tell you that JD was singing about himself and his own rebirth in the Rockies; well, I reckon he’s singing for every mother son of us that’s ever drawn that first breathe o’ mountain air and come to know then and there what it means to really be alive (Continued with The Grandfather 3). / ____ / ©Miles A Moody LivingEarth-Hearthealing.com.
