Bee at work...
A gumtree opposite our front gate is absolutely laden with
blossom with heaps of bees buzzing to and fro...
Here's yet ANOTHER picture of our plumbago

Gumtrees & Cattle
I really tossed up which version to put first
after experimenting with sepia toned finish
which I really like, I feel it suits this particular
shot. What do you think?
and here's The Old Gate

all sorts available for sale
but we just called in for afternoon

We were sitting on the balcony in the golf club restaurant
and along came this pair of kangas and entertained
us while we waited for our meal...

Over the front fence
The tree the koalas love to sleep in
which overhangs the road past our place
This is our front fence and the little
gate into the holding paddock
Photo taken from the road.
Just one photo at this point in time
we have a storm heading our way
right now

In the vegetable patch...
Dick has a big patch of summer vegetables growing
there's nothing quite like being able to pick
them fresh from the vine!
Here's a few more...

No sharks - we hope
Australia Day holiday and the beaches will
be filled with families taking a cooling dip
in the sea. We were there yesterday and
almost had the beach to ourselves
and the air was thick with smoke.
A couple more beach photos found in
the supplementary gallery, thus...

Smoky afternoon at the beach...
Smoke from the bushfires hung around the entire
day over the city and countryside, and even
at the beaches. (tripod)
Here's a couple of sulphur crested cockatoos
sitting in a gum tree in the late afternoon sun
just before it set. (hand held)

Emerging.....
This particular gumtree grows on the road verge
just outside our front fence. Today we've been
beavering away raking leaves and bark that fell
during the previous very hot spell we had.
A large branch fell from the ancient tree and
today it was carved up into a wood-heap and
transported to a safer part of the property.
I tossed up which one to feature today... how
do you like the lighting in this shot?
