We are most definitely not tropical this ...Hi Anne,<br />We are most definitely not tropical this far south. But we have had years of drought and in Oz drought usually ends in flood. It’s just how our climate usually works, and we’re in a flood period.<br />There were two cygnets, but unfortunately as I posted in Swan Watch X one of the babies was injured and taken away by the wildlife people we haven’t heard anything since :-(<br />I’m self publishing and it’s my copyright, so I guess I hold all the rights, but I’ll check into that just in case I cause myself a problem. Thanks for the vote of confidence in any case :- )<br /><br />Hi Kitty,<br />Yes those clouds looked pretty wild.<br />Fortunately most of the Melbourne area is not too badly at risk, fairly good planning, especially in newer areas.<br />It is nice to see mum and baby doing well!<br /><br />Hi Christine,<br />The wet is nice too, and as you say the opportunities for photography is good. The only slight issue was not being able to walk.<br />Thanks for the feedback on the extract.<br /><br />Hi Indigo,<br />Those clouds were amazing weren’t they? I’m glad you were there, in spirit at least.<br />I am pleased when I can catch up with the swans and keep people abreast of progress.<br /><br />Hi Pamela Jo,<br />Even though we have such a wet winter and spring it is still wonderful to see good rain after so many dry years. Even now Melbourne’s water storages are only just creeping up to 50%. <br />It is a relief to see baby doing so well.<br />Hopefully not too much longer on Veiled in Shadows, Amazon claim it will be with you on the 3rd of November.<br /><br />Hi Myrna,<br />I love the rain and wet weather piccies too. Pleased you enjoyed them!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-4010373527524474742010-11-01T17:52:05.711+11:002010-11-01T17:52:05.711+11:00I love rainy pictures.I love rainy pictures.Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-87429510205691593462010-11-01T13:27:05.822+11:002010-11-01T13:27:05.822+11:00I love rain days from a dry place that is.

Thank you for sharing them.<br /><br />Pleased to see Family Swan again.<br /><br />Short passages from your book online might hook more people and stimulate interest. A good idea, I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-11035808440803408112010-11-01T00:42:20.677+11:002010-11-01T00:42:20.677+11:00WOW!!!!!

Best to make a hasty retreat home methinks!!<br /><br />I hope the rivers stay put and not burst and if they do that they don't cause damage to people and houses!! Take care now!!<br /><br />Awww the swan and swanling baby are looking so lovely!! I'm so glad to see them!! Awwww!<br /><br />Posting extracts is always a good thing!!! Good luck!!<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-49482177540314469622010-10-31T23:16:23.291+11:002010-10-31T23:16:23.291+11:00Looks like you're in the middle of a monsoon! ...Looks like you're in the middle of a monsoon! You're much braver than I. <br /><br />I thought there were two cygnets with this mother. I know there were 4 with another, but I thought with this one there were two. Or am I imagining it again?<br /><br />And not to rain on your parade with your book out and all, but, isn't there some kind of "rule" that says you can only put 10% of your book online, otherwise... I don't know, the publishing police come after you or something. Or is that BEFORE you're published? <br /><br />I'd love to see more of Veiled in Shadows but I don't want you to get in trouble if you decide to put it up.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.com
