Taken to the skies again

Yesterday I decided to face my fears again and climb aboard a small aircraft. This time it was a 4-seater Cessna 172. It made the 7-seater Airvan (pictured below) I flew in last time seem huge! Above is SMY, the 172 with her trusty pilot Kieren. We took off around 5pm, so the light was fading.

Miraculously, I snapped this shot of Kieren coming in to land SMY two days before!

Southgates dunes

Greenough River mouth where I like kayaking

Smiley face?

Secret lovers?

Mel got out of the shower today to find these two snuggling on her bed. They are holding paws!

They're going to miss each other.

Beautiful let down

Lots of cloud, some lightning. No rain.

Before and after

Field between us and the airport (the towers are the airport's non-directional beacon or NDB, windfarm in the background) a few day ago when the rain was starting, and then yesterday:

Dust devil near the road to the met office last week. The field after being seeded and 2 days of rain:

It's amazing how quickly things bounce back

This morning
