On the water

On my regular walk along the Swan River at Burswood, I stopped to watch this expert water skier getting in some practice.

At the annual BBQ of the WA Naturalists Club at Herdsman Lake, we noticed that the water level was much higher than usual, but nobody knew why.  The paperbark trees were lovely.

The paperbarks make you want to reach up and pull off the bark: its good for lining hanging baskets!
