Skywatching at Fremantle

Fish and Chips at Fremantle, watching the sunset, life doesn't get much better.

Depending on how good your eyesight is you may be able to see a tiny triangle on the horizon, keep this in mind




Again, depending on how good your eyesight is you may see a boat  on the horizon


Here comes the yacht


Here comes the boat, carrying it's own  helicopter, as you do


Motor power, versus wind power
 

Passing, like ships in the night
 

Each going their separate ways
 

 
Me, I'm off for a feed of fish and chips

The Road Ahead

Over the Christmas break we fancied a drive to the beach. The closest beach to us is about 200 klms away. Morning tea and lunch was packed as there is nothing much open in the country, especially on a public holiday. Most of the photos in this collection were taken through the windscreen  so they are not the best quality, but come for a drive with me to The Coast.

Our Western Australian Christmas Trees (Nutsia Floribunda) dotted the roadside


What remains of a kangaroo on the road. The birds and foxes clean up the carcass in no time.


Dry paddocks everywhere. Wheat harvesting is now over

A little stop by the side of the road at Badgingarra, where we found what looks like a great walking trail for wildflowers in the spring



 
Oh look, I can see the sea

It was oh so windy , the water was very choppy



No, I am not completely out of focus, sand was being whipped up from the dunes and across the road

Heading home we stopped at this lovely Wandoo Reserve for a cuppa



More Christmas Trees
 
Stumpy, some bright spark dressed this tree stump in some work gear and gave him a face.

Through My Lens

The wildflowers in my region have been quite spectacular so far this spring. These are but a few of the many species found in Wongan Hills on my recent walks. Unfortunately, I can't put a name to them all.
