Weekend

Lets follow the creek shall we? Down through the paddock we go .........


and we come to the Black Camp Creek watching it flow through our property and on to others with its fresh water. Over the rocks and grass with its teaming life....mostly miroscopic....
But wait! This is certainly not a microscope and that guy is big enough to eat little ducklings. He is a fresh water eel and I am glad that breeding season is over for the ducks. He is ugly but indigenous to the area so we will leave him be...........for the moment. Just for interest's sake these guys can move across wetland areas to new creeks and ponds whenever the urge takes them. Their front fins act as rudamentary legs.
The creek continues over the small falls and rapids....



meandering through the fields like a young child picking flowers.








As it passes it turns everything to a lovely green and gives life to many species of animals.
