House Guest

I have been looking after Buffy for the past week and a half while his Mum is on holiday in Victoria. As usual he has made himself quite at home and has taken over.

Good Fences with Critters

I haven't found too many interesting fences of late so a lunch with friends supplied me with this added bonus of a couple of  Good Fences and some Saturday's Critters

 

 

How cool do we look with our fly covers on, say the donkeys

 

 

 

Not to be out done, Mr Horse says look at my cool shades

 

 

And then the rains came and of course he had to have a roll

 

 

Skywatching

Coming home last Saturday evening amongst the rain, thunder and lightning I quickly stopped hoping that the pot of gold was close by.   Linking today with Skywatch Friday

Skywatching, Moonshadow

Took these shots of the moon a few nights ago when it was a full moon. The passing clouds made for an eerie sight

Gathercole Reserve

Some welcome cool weather yesterday gave us an opportunity to take a bush walk out at Gathercole.

Sharing today with  Scenic Weekends

Wonderful rock formations are a feature of this reserve

 

 

 

Skywatching

I had a variety of skies today. Started off with a thunderstorm rolling in this morning, then back to our usual clear blue sky and just to finish off, we had  another thunder and lightning show with some welcome rain this afternoon.                Linking with  Skywatch Friday

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mt O'Brien

Yesterday, an elderly friend who is 87 wanted company to check out facilities at Mt O'Brien Lookout.  He takes it upon himself to go up weekly to check that there has been no litter left and that the BBQ is clean. His wife doesn't like him going alone so we accompanied him.

                                Through My Lens
 

Luckily I had my camera as this beautiful native creeper was in flower, I can't remember the name .

 

Looking over to Lake Hinds in the distance

 

 

The paddocks are all a lovely shade of golden brown now that the heat of summer is here

 

To the naked eye I couldn't see these ruins of an old house until my learned friend pointed them out

 

 

Melaleuca along the road to the lookout are in flower now
