My Country- a land of extremes

Today is a National Day of Mourning for the Victorian Bush Fire Victims & time to remember & reflect on the destructive power of nature, the wonderful work of the volunteers- fire brigades & support services & the stories of survival from the many people caught up in the tragic circumstances of these fires. With great sadness we remember the horrendous loss of life due to this event in our national history.

Further north we have the extreme of floods covering vast tracts of grazing land & cutting roads & supplies to many communities.

This seems very small in significance but during the week a fairy circle formed on my footpath & the wonder that is nature captivated me.
