Braeside Park, Victoria

I went to Braeside Park which is about 10 mins drive from my home this afternoon and wandered around. It's been years since I visited this park and I had hoped there would be birdlife in the wetlands area but much of it has dried up and I saw very little near the water area. But I did see birds around the picnic grounds and just enjoyed the peace and quiet there. On the weekends it is usually filled with people picknicking and having barbeques.

This gum tree is shedding its bark.

I viewed this close up on my computer.

The clouds looked spectacular and I love that I now have a decent camera to appreciate their images.
