The main parklands in Bright, early in the morning... you can still slightly see the low cloud

Nima ponders by the river... hehehe

Rushing waters...

Lovely, lovely browns...

The innards of a gum tree....

The view from the Tawonga Gap lookout, across to Tawonga (Mt Beauty is out of view, and to the right of shot)

This cute little man was in Mt Beauty... he was as soft to pat as he looks!
|
But he looked sad when I stopped giving him attention...
|
Buckland Valley... I love the reds...
|
The snobby alpacas... :P

More pretty stuff, I really like #1, bridges like that make such good photos! The lavender in #12 is great too. Those scones are making my mouth water, very nice! Alpacas are such funny looking animals, I like the shot of them. Nice color.

Scones!!.....We also indulged in some jam and cream activities on the weekend. My scone pics are scheduled for posting tomorrow night...lol....what is it about this time of year that screams scones and country side?! I love how the little pony's head looks so big in #8 compared to his stumpy legs.......Reminds me of me and my stumpy short legs...if only I were as cute as he is!

Another beautiful set. I'm with Andrea - those scones look delish!! The trees in #9 remind me of flames and those alpacas are so cute! I also love the delicacy of the lavender you have captured.

4, 16, and 19 really draw me in... for some reason, my favorites seem to always be the really simple, almost minimalistic images... Do you ever use Photoshop? I wonder what #19 would look like with some "shadow/highlight" effect on it ( i.e. Shadow/Highlight tutorial ).

clearly, i am not partaking enough in the scone festivities. i may well have to fly into Victoria, just for some fabulous snacks. i love your narrative regarding the alpacas. hilarious. nick was the same way in peru when we were at machu picchu. he wanted to take one home and i had to tell him that it just wouldn't work out. not to be redundant, but this is another wonderful set. the pony is too cute, those scones are too tasty looking and all that lavender is too beautiful. fantastic all around, as per.

Another great set. I'm loving this road trip! Beautiful colors and scenery (#19 is gorgeous). The pony was so sweet, as were the alpacas. I have to tell you - before this, I had always seen alpacas when their heads were upright. I've never seen them grazing, oddly enough. So, I have to admit, at first glance they looked like deformed sheep to me! I was about to ask what kind of sheep they grow in Oz! :) Those scones are SO yummy looking. I want one!

Awesome shots Jess! I can't wait to go back through the travels now that you're back. That first shot and the composition is absolutely wonderful!

Bien jolie promenade ! J'aime la 9, le rouge et l'or des arbres font un tableau magnifique !

I'd be in heaven on a lavender farm! I can smell it now! I used to have quite a patch of it and made lavender wands with it. But, most have died now and I'm hoping to start a new patch. Ok, I can smell the scones too. Yummm.
