Week 175

WALKABOUT : PATTERSON LAKES

1.  Looking west towards the mouth of the Patterson River from the Coastguard pontoon. The sea is just beyond the bridge.

2. "Fine," the weatherman said this morning, "it's going to be a fine day!" What kind of fine, I wondered, looking upstream
at the rather dense cloud cover. Weathermen...!

3. Looking south along the eastern shore of Port Phillip Bay. Fine weather, indeed!

4.  I liked the early light on these seaweed-covered rocks along the river bank.

5. I haven't been able to find out what kind of bird this is, which is rather infuriating.

6. This one I do know -- it's a white-faced heron.

7. No Mercedes Benzes or BMW's, just smart boats in the "driveways".

8. A man and his dog.

9. "Too much tide and not enough rope"?

10. "So where's me breakfast, then?" (It's a real pelican, really!).
