Ross is a small town established in 1824 as a garrison town, home to several regiments of the British Army for thirty years, when Tasmania was a convict settlement.
Today it is a delightful town, known for this beautiful stone bridge, sandstone heritage buildings and wide streets.
The first photo is my contribution to Becky’s October Squares theme of blue.

Whilst walking on our local Howrah Beach recently, I noticed this star fish. There had been some significant erosion after strong high tides.
This is my contribution to HeyJude’s Life in Colour challenge, which is highlighting orange this month.

Pacific sunrise at Manly Beach.
Six months ago, this was the perfect way to celebrate the end of hotel quarantine and getting back to my Aussie life.

It is spring time, with the days getting warmer and longer.
But this is a strange month for me. Our daughters were born in September, so memories and my northern hemisphere brain will always associate the month with autumn. Even after three and a half years, it is the changing seasons that trip me up. Springtime should mean Easter not preparing for Christmas.
We’ve enjoyed walks along the beach and cliffs, a visit to the botanical gardens and seeing spring flowers and the sun shining on our city parks. I’ve been able to sit out on our balcony with a cuppa, after work.
The RAAF Roulettes flew over the cenotaph to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
Other bloggers have posted about their month on Su’s Changing Seasons page.

This is the final Weekly Photo Challenge and we’ve been asked to share our favourites.
I’ll miss this challenge, opening my eyes to find a photo for the weekly theme, seeing how other bloggers have interpreted the prompt, being inspired by other people’s photos and techniques. Thank you to everyone who has liked and commented on my contributions over the past three and a half years x

My place in the world is Tasmania and it looks spectacular now, in autumn.
These trees on the bank of the River Derwent at Bushy Park show their autumn glow, even on a grey day.
A unique deciduous beech tree, “fagus” (nothofagus gunnii) changes colour at this time of year. The trees grow to about two meters. The leaves are the size of my thumb nail. We visited the “fagus festival” at Mount Field National Park a couple of weeks ago.
The Japanese Garden within the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens in Hobart has a range of red maple trees.
