These are photos taken last week on the Tantanoola/Kongorong road. The road we usually travel down to get to our holiday house, which is only about half and hour from where we live.
In contrast to the dry, brownness of Summer, the grass is lush and there is water laying in the paddocks. New lambs dot the landscape.
I stopped because I wanted to capture this view of the irrigation tractor (if that's what it's called?), with the mountain in the background, because the sun was trying to peek through on the patch of grass at the top. These ranges are one of my favourite comforting views of our area, along with the majestic gums around Kalangadoo.
I love this part of the world, where I do believe I am blessed, because the grass really is greener!
The funniest thing as I was concentrating on one side of the country road, a herd of cows started to come from near and far (even running) to see who had pulled up next to their home. I guess they thought I had come with gastronomic gifts. No hay here guys!
That grass is green! I have friends in Armidale and back of Tooowoomba and it's so brown and dry. It's quite scary. #OpenSlather
ReplyDeleteAmazing the contrast at this time of year in the different country areas. It is so wet here at the moment.
DeleteLOL at those nosy cows!
ReplyDeleteThey cracked me up when I noticed them on the other side of the ride, and all running to have a sticky beak I think that brown cow was the ring leader, giving me the side eye!
DeleteSo good there is green somewhere! I have seen those irrigator tractor thingys here too. Let's hope rain arrives sooner rather than later as it sure is getting dire. Denyse x
ReplyDeleteIf only we could share the water, we've had plenty and I am guessing there is more on the way.
DeleteThese are really amazing photos! I do love cows but I am so very allergic to them! They make me sneeze and itch all over if I get too close!
