A coat of frost covers the front entrance-way and ramp. Only small puzzles of bird foot-prints disturb its pure white gaze.

sweet =) our weather and the rarity of naturally flowing water
makes that a novel sight for a south australian =)
we have a creek across the road in the park which actually flows most of the year but the 40 temps mean any kind of house is probably hot =)
we do get frost in winter but not snow. it is interesting to learn about what is different. thanks for the picture.

Still grey, gentle. In spring, birds contest everything; top knot pigeons practice competitive folk dance, galahs celebrate dinner with a shout, honey eaters orbit the bottle brush and wagtails swing over the grasses. A first locust investigates my seedlings. Shy sunlight. A soft shadow falls over my hands; sifting grass roots for a new garden.
