Across the Pond

Black and white capture as the moon rose above power pole wires.

There is massive blasting and earthmoving here.

The source of his tongue-licking remains visible on Mr. Grigsby's paw. These guys love it when I come home with 125 pounds of BaRF that needs to be scooped into smaller containers to freeze. So many helpers those days.

One of the crew told me that the power company fitters could not work on this pole because its tread brackets were lost in the ivy . They had to hire a 'cherry picker' instead...

I actually couldn't see this mild aurora with the naked eye, nor could I see the power lines! My old eyes are tired and dim! The red glow on the lines is from the tail lights of my car. Lens information should read 40mm pancake lens.

An old telegraph pole cut in half and used in the garden to tie washing lines to the weather vein used to be straight but last winters storms gave it a good old battering we fared better than our neighbour who lost their roof!

I deliberately skipped over (well drove past without stopping) the painted flour mill at Murrumburrah, the queer other half of Harden. Imagine the absurdity of skipping through Murrumburrah; especially at my age!

 

Instead I left it until Gidginbung before I issued my warning about painted things. Note, that as a bit of a pedant I have made no attempt to make a verb of the noun mural to describe this odd practice.

 

Though not to my taste, here's an example from Lake Cargelligo. It's the work of some dude who has applied his "art" to silos elsewhere. Look it up for yourself. I'm not that interested.

Yes... that's Happy Telegraph Tuesday for those that don't know.

A visit to the park yesterday to see the ducklings...there is a family of eight young ones on the lake.

 

HTT!

A visit to Lake Meadows Farms here in my hometown of Ocoee, Florida. I spent the lunch hour there eating chicken and cheese curds. Went home with some extra cheese and batter to make my own, of course I used up the eggs on a delicious pound cake. Those are fried pickles in the top right hand corner.

 

The skin on the tenders was a good texture in my mouth. My interpretation of Texture Tuesday. Texture impacts the way food looks and tastes, and how it feels your mouth. All ingredients have some kind of texture, but the way a chef layers ingredients with different textures can set a dish apart.

This photo was snapped by our awesome pet sitter, Lisa. It's obvious Ruby ran until her tongue fell out;) I also think it's hilarious how she, Cooper and their two other friends are positioned.

So nice that this dear boy now accepts me when I visit the neighbors. He's such an adorable feline. More photos in the comments, and I even tucked some extras in back.

...taken for the Telegraph Pole :-)

Until I started looking at telegraph poles for Telegraph Tuesday group, I didn't notice them much. It is surprising how varied they are.

Macros!

I guess this must be some sort of mobile transmitter /receiver mast located in a local supermarket car park . With all those connections , I hope they got them right or who knows who you might end up talking to !!
