HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Bunny.

Julia is off to a Halloween Party and I totally forgot to post this pic.

Love the make-up, Bunny.  Yes, I call her 'Bunny'

Mad Martha at Halloween

 

Follow the flame.....follow the flame.....

 

The two sides of Miss Martha,  mad crazy one minute, then...

"Who me?  I wouldn't do that!" the next.

 

We know you so well, Miss Martha.

 

From Our House to Yours.

HAPPY  HALLOWEEN

 

B O O !

What's that in the Distance?

At the risk of being run off the road, I pulled over to take a photo of these strange mountains in the distance as I head back to Brisbane

Shame these pics aren't great.  A little further on you see and huge rock spire with other smaller, yet still as steep mountains.  Well Ms Google tells me it's the Glasshouse Mountains.

So much of this country I still would like to see.

Kilcoy Queensland Trip October 2015

Yowie Park

Just across the road from the motel I stayed in while visiting Karen and Keith Jones, was this lovely parkland and a pull in place for travellers. 

 Yowie Coffee is a local brand and sold at a mobile coffee van parked in the park.

You guessed it - Yowie....in person.  What the heck....?

A 4 metre statue to the mysterious Yowie.  Is he a local?

What! ?

Never ever far from home, even in Kilcoy.

Kilcoy's main street, love the angle parking.

I guess you could call this the top pub, because Kilcoy is a typical Aussie town, more pubs than grocers.  Not sure why the animal cut outs are there, but hey they look rural. 

Long Jetty, Central Coast, NSW

CWA Long Jetty/The Entrance Branch hosted the Northumberland Group's Cultural Day.  

Position, position, position...and all just across the road from the CWA Rooms.

Well as you can see it's not called Long Jetty for nothing.  The little black dot at the end of the jetty above are two men fishing.  SO long.

Below is a shot of the next jetty along, zoomed in so much it's blurred, but you can see 

Newcastle Coal plant in the distance, which is another 40 minutes north of here.

So many pretty, sleepy coastal towns on the New South Wales coastline.

Spring in Thornleigh - 2015

 We were experiencing a lovely change in the weather 2 or 3 weeks ago, so I'd thought I would capture some Spring sunshine.

 This bush always reminds me of Barbara's 'snow in summer' bushes along her drive in Woodinville.

Some of Julia's succulents and my Christmas Cactus.

New veggie garden beds, in the space where the trampoline deck once covered.

Palms looking pretty.

Well I've carried these garden items around with me for years.  

When will they find a permanent home?

TODAY AT THE BIRD FEEDER....

 Well hello there...

Cockatoos are quite big really.

Whoops....the Rainbow Lorikeets believe this is their bird food..

Such bully boys, size does not deter them...

Well usually not...

What are you looking at?  

I think he knows I'm coming to shoo him away.  

Unfortunately cockatoos are very destructive, last weekend in retaliation a cockatoo ripped 3 of the 4 remaining lemons off my tree just to prove a point - don't shoo me away!
