WINTER - IN MERRIJIG

Heading home yesterday on an unexpectedly warm and sunny first day of Winter, I passed by the Merrijig fox fence.

And now I'm googling "fox fences."
Various Writers claim they are
either: a hangover from the days when a bounty was paid for fox eradication, or to show the scale of the local fox problem, or to ward off other foxes. Every day is a school day.

And yes ...
Stand up wind for fox fence photos.

STOCK DOG SPECTACULAR

We headed to the Mansfield showground to marvel at the incredibly clever, agile, and patient working dogs and the close work partnership they share with their humans.

Such a joy to watch the quiet and calm way today's women took their dogs through the trials.

It is on all week, until ,Sunday 13th, at the Mansfield Show Grounds. Definitely worth a look.

JUPITER & VENUS TONIGHT

It's a beautiful night sky in Merrijig and in the early autumn twilight Jupiter and Venus shine bright in their conjunction. It's a dance they perform every 13 months when they meet and pass briefly in the heavens above.

In the central triptych headlights approach against the silhouette of The Paps under an orange and purple sky.

Stage right are the lights of Merrijig.
The merrijig Motor.inn and the Hunt Club Hotel all lit up to welcome locals and visitors for dinner and drinks.

I love the views from our hill at . I'm wondering, What does the Jupiter and Venus conjunction look like where you are?

OPEN GARDEN - BARWITE

There are some places on our planet that capture your thoughts, imagination and energy. This garden is one of those places. Restful and exciting. Restorative and relaxing. A delight to explore and photograph.

These dreamscapes are captured snippets, from and garden "The Barwitian".

The garden was kindly opened to the public, in conjunction with the Mansfield's Garden Club - Open Gardens, on Sunday. So many people travelled long distances to Mansfield to enjoy this garden and to explore our shire. Many visitors stayed overnight ready for an early garden explore. . Who knew garden tourism was such a huge "thing".

Love to all the gardeners out there

OPEN GARDEN - BROKEN DOWNS

An expansive established garden with park-like lawns under magnetic gums and interesting outbuildings in Barwite

The gardens focal point is the large water lilly filled dam, fed from The Broken River and used to water the garden beds .

Some quirky and fun touches throughout the garden including the "Barwite Life Saving Club" gateway to the floating dam deck, the row of pink painted bicycles attached up and down the massive gum tree, to name a few. Something to smile about at every turn.

The Mansfield Garden club also ran their plant stall and food and drink stall at Broken Downs making for a wonderfully relaxing Sunday under the cool shade of the established trees.
