After the rain


The river is up...


The Tassie devil knows the best place to stay high and dry...
 it's a bronze statue!!

The ducks don't seem to mind...
 picnic anyone?



Guess I won't be walking this way...


Or this way...


Or this way...


This one is for the tree...


And this is normally dry grass land...


The second and third photos were taken early this morning, and the others were taken late yesterday afternoon. Same camera, same settings.  Amazing the difference in the light!!


And what better way to spend the rest of the day than to bake a cake...


Made it extra large so you could read it...


And I did change it a bit.  I know.  Hard to believe.  But...

I used about 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and replaced 1/2 a cup of the flour with almond meal. Also added some cardamom and allspice as well as the mixed spice. 

And I baked it in a larger baking dish, so it didn't take as long to cook as it says in the recipe.

That's it.

Simple!

  1. Oh, that Tasmanian Devil looks so large - I hope they're smaller than that in person! Your river is beautiful even when overflowing, but it makes me nervous. :)

    1. They are not very big. The size of a small dog or large cat.

      It's the wildness of the river that I love! xx
