Life has been hectic with farm life, personal life and that extreme weather that has been happening everywhere across SE Australia. This was taken on my iPhone whilst rushing to achieve a farm job before it poured down again. It is the top end of our swamp on the farm. Normally there is no water here but with all the recent rains the entire swamp is full, actually over full and has been restricting access to some paddocks. In all the chaos there is so much beauty in nature.

What a sunrise this morning. Tad frosty but worth it. Crazy how the iPhone can take these shots without any fancy gadgets

KELPIE SELLS FOR $25,750 AT JERILDERIE 🐾

The Jerilderie Working Dog auction saw 55 dogs sold for combined value of $578,000 and average of $10,509 - a new Australian record - on Saturday.

The top-priced dog (pictured) was sold by Brad Pellow with Lot 36, a three-year-old trained Kelpie, Harry, selling for $25,750 to a buyer from Wilcannia.

Other top sales included nine-month-old Kelpie, Lot 46, DroversDream Trixie, trained and sold by Adrian Allbut, selling for $22,000 via Auctions Plus. The price is believed to be an Australian record for a Kelpie under 12 months.

Auction organiser Warwick Doolan said the demand for working dogs continues to grow, partly due to labour shortages.

"It has become more of a requirement, rather than a luxury item, having a good dog...for a lot of farmers a dog is essential," he said.

He said the Jerilderie Working Dog Auction started in 2006 and this year's average price was close to matching the gross sales of their first auction.

Hello there, I know I have been quiet for 2022 and not posted a single image on here. Yes I am still attached to the camera at all time. Here is a quick video posted by Jerilderie Working Dog Auction on the images I took on the weekend.

I had an image request for the elusive hare. This image was by far one of the more challenging experiences I’ve have had. It involved army crawling through itchy grass, stalking the highly strung alert little creature. They really don’t like being followed.

The brightest of rainbows this evening. Just stunning.

How is that for an evening sky. Not a bad view as we finished off a job in the sheep yards yesterday
