Hi and cheers Craig, hope the three of you are having a wonderful time.
Your photos are great, I’ve recognised a few of those spots from being in that area for three weeks January gone. Safe travels. AW
Very nice AW. Good use of light and reflection. Like the windmill particularly.
Love your eye for light @AW

Blackers . Hi mate. All the best to you.
I’ve mentioned previously I observe and listen to what you write about photography, it’s definitely helped.
I don’t just snap away immediately with the phone, I take the time to compose the picture, look at the available light or lack there of.
I’m using the iPhone in a better photographic way for me that is. I’m no photographer, but I love beautiful subjects and photos. Thanks for your advice. AW

GuySmiley. Hi pal.
Thanks.
Well a reciprocal loved your B&W photo of your dog on WOTD, another timely snap on life’s road. Good one . AW
A few days ago I was commissioned by our Field Naturalists Club and the City of Greater Geelong to construct two very sturdy wing walls to an existing bird hide at Jerringot Wetlands.
These additions were required as people approached the first iteration, water birds would be scared off by people arriving to use the hide.
It gets flooded periodically hence the 400mm gap at its base to reduce hydraulic pressure.
Alas, 24 hours later I drive past, I always like to check my work, it’s just a habit, it’s gotta be spot on.
I walked behind one wing wall and noticed this.
A Saunders Case Moth had kicked into action and constructed a 250mm long cocoon, fascinating.
The biological world waits for no one. Entropy is amazing. AW
Nice work there @AW
that second shot's a great silhouette @AW..
you saluting a job well done from that little cowboy hat you're always wearing..
before you ride off into the sunset, whistling your merry tune.
(nice work mate.. fucking crazy those cocoons, hey?
- can't believed they smashed out a cocoon
just as quickly as you can knock up a couple of wings).

Very clever use of words by yourself, I’m not surprised.
Gobsmacked when I saw the cocoon, I thought are you shitting me, build me a cocoon and a moth will come.
Yee ha, that silhouette does look like I’m dipping the lid of a cowboy hat, at least my work was not done by a cowboy. AW

Cheers guy.
Haven’t enquired for awhile.
You sound up and about.
How’s your health mate, genuinely interested. AW
Yes great looking work there @AW.
And to quote Orson Welles re. the second shot "“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows! "
And I can't see the word "cocoon" without being reminded of The Militant Black Guy at the video store...

Adam12. Hi fella. Hope ya well.
Cheers, always do my best.
Couple of cheeky funny quotes and skits. You must have a good memory.
Great run of weather, smashing waves last Friday, looks like big incoming this weekend. See what pans out. All the best. AW
In semi lockdown I'm finally sorting through a lifetime of photos and inspired by what Craig and Andy recently posted I thought why not.
We travel a fair bit and there has to be some crackers in the vaults.
Good if we follow the Swellnet tradition of not naming or being too obvious.
