Woven in the Land: slippers and ferals
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2015/01/slippers-and-ferals.html
Woven in the Land. Tuesday, 20 January 2015. Dad was here last week. He was lecturing at the Albany Summer School on Australian mammals. This time Mum stayed in Perth with my sister and cooled off in the pool to escape Perth's summer heat. Down here the weather was lovely, no pool necessary. My sister sent us an image of Mum in her new floral pinky red bathers and big floppy hat. Dad said wow! Mum said no I am spoken for. They have been married for fifty eight years this month. These figures are all esti...

Woven in the Land: March 2014
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Woven in the Land. Monday, 10 March 2014. I was in Perth a week ago. It was hot. I stayed with a friend. We walked down the beach with her old dog. Slowly. The beach was crowded with dogs and people, all shapes and sizes and colours. Mostly walking. Dogs playing and splashing in the shadows. The calm water was nearly empty of people. We watched big brown dogs collect together, then a group of small pale dogs sniffed as their humans chatted. They agglomerated then dispersed. A special dog gravity. The Tib...

Woven in the Land: July 2013
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Woven in the Land. Wednesday, 24 July 2013. Mauve hakeas, red dirt and Bilbies. To the Ngaatatjarra people this plant is known as Walukarra. Currently access to the Carnarvon Ranges is closed while the Birriliburu native title custodians of the land work out conditions and management of access to this area for the general public. An old and gnarled tree growing beside Talbot Rockhole. Serpent's Glen has this lovely copse of white trunked eucalypts growing at the base of the rocks. In some survey work don...

Woven in the Land: November 2013
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Woven in the Land. Monday, 18 November 2013. There is a pair of Pacific Black Ducks that have lived here for some years. I have never seen them with young until now. Look what appeared on our dam this week. They have manged to raise seven ducklings that are now half grown. Here they are after their swim heading off in single file. It is fantastic to see. Quink quink, kik kik. Low tide at Lights. Thursday, 7 November 2013. It floated along the jagged limestone edge just in front of us before it flapped up...

Woven in the Land: June 2013
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Woven in the Land. Sunday, 30 June 2013. Eight puppies at six and a half weeks. Labels: black and white. Monday, 17 June 2013. I opened my neglected diary this weekend and discovered a forgotten morning. This tree has grown at least a hand span. Down over the top of this burn scar. We walked along the trail and saw scarred trees healing from the top down and burnt stumps growing from the bottom up. We saw the scrabble marks of possums on marri trunks from many a night's journey to feast on nectar. This m...

Woven in the Land: Martup Pool - a tale of deception
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2014/07/martup-pool-tale-of-deception.html
Woven in the Land. Tuesday, 8 July 2014. Martup Pool - a tale of deception. I don't know how many times we've driven past the sign Martup Pool. On the trip to and from Perth, and we've never had the inkling to stop. Despite the word pool. In the name. There couldn't possibly be a real pool there amongst the straggly grey trees - could there? Surrounded by paddocks, sprouting crops and lambing ewes. In the middle of this country known for dryness? Puddle over the road. Fun splashing through that! Paperbar...

Woven in the Land: August 2013
http://wovenintheland.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Woven in the Land. Tuesday, 27 August 2013. Found at Bea Bea. Monday, 26 August 2013. Pools and twisted gums. We camped beside the big pool this time, the other smaller pools were dry this visit. Our camp is under the white gums on the distant left. There were both black fronted dotterels and red kneed dotterels feeding by the water's edge. Black Fronted Dotterel with worm. I love the forms of massed white gum trunks and the twisted shapes of branches against the blue sky. Those fields full of yellow wer...
