Oops, didn't mean to start this conversation. I just think it's hilarious, every time I park there.
After seeing all the damage done to houses from falling trees (mostly huge eucalypts) lately on TV, I can't understand why people would leave them in their front gardens. I love them in their bushland environments, but not near houses.
time to change the subject. I will have a quick scroll through my photos.
these two are not mine. My sisters grandson took tHem. He is a keen surfer and therefore the dolphin one at Ulladulla.
I just took HRH for a walk so that I could take a photo of my young quince tree that I grew from seed about 8 years ago
and noticed the snow Gum that I grew from seed about 20 years ago.
Rather tall now.
Then I bent down to pick up a bamboo cane that the Roos has knocked over and nearly put my hand on a tiger snake! Hastily grabbed HRH who is nearly blind and certainly deaf, and beat a hasty retreat.
We've been out the back of our place today getting yet more firewood. So much for the cold season coming to an end. More snow predicted on the ski slopes.
these are random photos to demonstrate the type of country we have. Not exactly agricultural country.
termite mounds
A colourful beetle disturbed by moving dead wood around.
Yes, to all of that Lilyp. I often think that's it no wonder that our goats loved being in the back area. We used to take them a bale or two of lucerne on weekends, otherwise they'd manage quite well on the scrub.

not a relaxing way to start the day.

Morning all.
That's a pretty bird Pat, looks like a Kingfisher with the wrong colouring.
Off to daughter's in a minute.
BusyL it's a kookaburra, sometimes called a kingfisher, or laughing kookaburra because of their distinctive call.
A plentiful supply of wood to keep you warm Pat. Lovely pics of kookaburra and the beetle. . . so many insects have beautiful colouring.
Yes, thanks Joyce
Lovely photos Pat, bringing back a ton of memories
we used to go up to friends at Wangaratta and the ghost gums took your breath away on a clear night.
Tiger snakes you can keep but I do miss a lot especially an Aussie spring!
happy anniversary!

Great photos Pat - love the kook and the termites mounds. One of the wildlife progs did a piece on termites and I found it fascinating.
Your quince is beautiful. It's clear you have quite a challenging location and climate to garden in Pat. Makes any successes even better, I'd think
I laughed at the tree pic too - I love how people can sometimes just accept what they have and work with it accordingly!

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
