Three Wise Monkey's

I found these little statues in a park in Dowerin, see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil

Saturday's Critters

A couple more pics from my recent trip to Donnelly River. Sharing with  Saturdays Critters
 
A kookaburra keeping watch on one of our walks

The rubbish bins all have clips on the lids so the kangaroos can't open them, this one kept trying

A splash of red caught my eye, these little robins don't stay still for long.

Lemon Tree

I have an abundance of Lemons at present, as you can see from the photos.  I have given away so many but still it is loaded. I have made lemon butter, lemon cordial and frozen lemon juice to use when I no longer have lemons on the tree. Any further suggestions would be welcome.

Skywatching

A couple of sky shots taken from my backyard during the week. It did look promising for rainfall but only a little eventuated.

Glenoran Pool

Glenoran Pool, on the Donnelly River  near Manjimup in WA's South West is a popular swimming hole  and picnic area, although I wouldn't fancy swimming there myself.  A large karri tree had fallen  during recent storms. The river is freshwater but also contains a lot of tannin. A still day made for some nice reflections on the river.

To get to Glenoran Pool we had to cross One Tree Bridge. Nothing special I thought.


Once we went for a walk we came across the original  One Tree Bridge which was constructed in 1904 from one fallen karri log

Skywatching



Oh what a beautiful bright moon we have had these past few nights. We have also had a lot of cloud cover too so I had to wait for the moon to appear only for it to disappear just as quickly

I have just taken these shots tonight to add to this post

Slater Homestead Goomalling

A few weeks back whilst out on a Sunday drive, I had to do a double take when passing Slater Homestead in Goomalling. In years gone by it was home to the Slater Family and also a wayside inn from 1888 for pioneers and travellers. It is now a museum and tea room and has recently been renovated while still keeping it's old charm.  Sitting out side overlooking a paddock was an old piano. You never know what you are going to see along the roadsides out here. This on it's own was worth stopping for a photo but we ended up having  a cup of tea and  scone after looking through the old house.
