Shovelling sh***t

I often wonder if Ken every realises what a bargain he got when he married me!! How many other wives would be content with a ute load of horse manure instead of a diamond ring or the latest fashion accessories or, the list could go on. AND what is more, I helped with the collecting, unloading and distribution of this gem when we got home, even if I did take a little time to lean on my shovel and look for birds!!

Double click

Forgot to say, if you double click on the photos you DO get the benefit of the long time it took rather than the minute it normally takes, its up to you.

Experimenting - again!

Would you sooner be a washed up starfish




or a dew drop on the grass? (as long as it was not on the end of someone's nose!!!)

Phew that took eleven minutes to download these two photos but I wanted to see if the quality was any better than when I shrink them to email size!!

I was pretty pleased with both these photos, taken this morning on my daily walk.

Native vegetation.

This is one of the many Australian Wattle Trees, just about to come into flower.



and these are the pretty little flowers of the Tea Tree (from which they make our world famous Tee Tree Oil)

Wonder what gulls talk about!!

Why do they always stand on one leg, and what do you think they talk about amongst themselves, do you think they feel sorry for their other mate (next post)?

Perhaps he is saying "look at me when I am talking to you, and just where did you get that ankle bracelet, you hussy?"

Poor little silver gull

You see a lot of gulls missing a leg, they probably lost them in some careless fisherman's line or net left in the sea.

Its not perfect - but....

This little robin was sitting watching me yesterday on my way along the cliff top.
