January 28 2017–Spider a hiding, flowers a blooming!

 

 

Another perfect day in East Gippsland today. A walk around my garden again, this time with a focus on spiders!

 

Can you spot him?  I don’t know what kind of a spider he is, but unless he moves, he looks just like a piece of bark, or a dried leaf.

Here’s another fellow hiding in a different place.  I have seen these holes all over the yard, but to my knowledge I have not actually seen the whole spider.  I have noticed his front legs sometimes at the top of the hole, but I have never seen one fully out of the hole.  If they are, as I’ve been told, Funnel Web spiders (not the deadly kind)  then they are very secretive spiders!

And a perfect water lily growing in the pond!

Amazing Creatures

 

These two amazing creatures were at Lakes Entrance for Australia day.  They were patiently in their enclosure while people patted them and talked to them. Such wonderful deep brown eyes.

Australia Day Lakes Entrance Style | Gorgeous Gippsland

An absolutely perfect day in Lakes Entrance today, which saw many people coming out to enjoy the local attractions on the day. The day started off a bit dull and ordinary, but blossomed into a perfect sunny, not too hot, not too cold, afternoon for us all to enjoy the day by the water.
Busy on the water, and lots of people enjoying the festivities on the foreshore.
Lakes Entrance is a perfect spot at any time of the year, but is especially gorgeous at this time of year.   A walk along the Esplanade reveals some amazing sights and sounds.
