There was only one Swan on the beach this morning. I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo when it was stretching its wings, exposing the white on the wings.

On our walk back from the coffee shop, red flowers and leaves caught my attention.

We had an unexpected visit from a friend who wanted advice planning a trip to Kangaroo Island. After running through various routes, we lent our road atlas and published blog book covering our trip to KI.
After an outing to the shops, we focussed on what clothes to pack for our cruise next month. Bluey warily watched this activity, sometimes sitting on clothes we were trying to pack.
Our pool was overflowing thanks to recent rain. When I opened the door of the pool equipment shelter, I spotted an adult blue tongue lizard, then was surprised by a young one running towards the adult. They both scampered under our fence and are probably hiding under the hedge. Another missed photo opportunity!
