From Lofty:
Today was cold but sunny so I rode the bike down the quickest way to the City and back home another way. The pictures illustrate what I like most about this time of year. The fresh green grass thinly covers the sun blasted slopes of the season just past, without making the bones of the hills invisible. Down the hill I go into the lusher valley below. Even the urban park I ride through has a fresh green surface past the gnarly head height oak branch. Back up to 2000ft and the green is not always from grass, and not everything that grows is green.

Nice. I’ve always found something vaguely alien about the Australian landscape -- it’s something very subtle, in the shape of the trees and the pattern of growth, that seems distinctly different from the North American / east European landscapes that I’m used to. It’s great.
Well, yes, most of it tries to eat you, and the rest just settles for killing you.†

Fair’s fair, as over my busy life I’ve tried to eat as much of it as possible. The sheep especially. The odd kangaroo. And many species of shrubbery. And some of the insects. And some of the sea life. Buuurp.
