Sculpted by Pat Moseley, this piece celebrates the life of a woman who was a champion of women's rights during a time when women had very few rights.

Interestingly, Mary Lee didn't come to Adelaide until 1879 when she was already in her late 50's. She originally came here to nurse her son who was ill but after his death, Mary and her daughter couldn't afford to sail back to Ireland and ended up staying. Mary dedicated the last 30 years of her life to improving the social and political rights for women in South Australia.

She was instrumental in fighting and winning the vote for women in SA and was an outspoken objector to Australia's involvement in the Boer War. In 1883 she joined the Social Purity Society and helped work towards the raising of the age of consent from 13 to 16 -hard to believe the age of consent was ever 13!!!. In 1888 she established the Women's Suffrage League of South Australia and remained Secretary until women won the right to vote in December 1894.

Mary Lee lived an amazing life that was dedicated to the betterment of the lives of others

Tasmanian Devil - Sarophilus harrisi

The real Tasmanian devil doesn't really resemble the famous cartoon character. It isn't the same size as humans, nor does it storm through its surroundings like a swirling tornado. The Tasmanian devil is only the size of a small dog; is just 20 to 31 inches (51 to 79 centimetres) tall and weighs only 9 to 26 lbs. (4 to 12 kilograms). It has black fur that helps it stay camouflaged when searching for food at night and has very sharp teeth that aid in eating. A nocturnal scavenger: it sleeps during the day and is awake at night and sometime hunter, the Tasmanian devil a can travel long distances while looking for food. During the night, they sometimes journey up to 10 miles (16 km) to hunt,

The Tassie Devil will eat whatever is available, usually carrion (dead animals), sometimes eating spoiled or rotting meat. It will also eat fur and bones, which it crushes in its powerful jaws. Although they are solitary animals, Tasmanian devils will gather to feed, often growling viciously at each other trying to scare off their competition. When finished eating there is, nothing left of the carcass.

The late night screeching, stress-induced stink, and fierce looks led early Australian settlers to name this marsupial the devil. The cartoon Tasmanian devil does have one thing in common with the real creature: poor temperament. When threatened, it goes into a rage in which it growls, lunges and bares its teeth. The Tassie Devil also makes other worldly screams that can seem very devil-like. It may be due to this temper that the Tasmanian devil is usually a loner.

Although once found all over Australia, Tasmanian devils now live only on the island state of Tasmania. Inhabiting coastal scrub and forest areas, they make their dens anywhere they can safely sleep during the day, including hollow logs, old wombat burrows and naturally formed caves. Tasmanian devils’ breeding season lasts from March to May. Female devils will mate with dominant males, who fight to gain their attention. Three weeks after conception, the females give birth to up to 50 babies, called joeys. These 50 extremely tiny joeys scramble to attach themselves to one of the four available teats in the mother’s pouch. Those that do not make it will not survive. The remaining joeys will attach to the nipple in the pouch for roughly 3 months while they become fully developed. Like the wombat, the Tasmanian devil has a pouch that opens on the bottom to keep dirt out while travelling. After the joeys leave their mother’s pouch, they remain hidden in the den for another 3 months. During this time the mother brings food to the young, and eventually the young devils begin venturing out on their own before finally leaving the den for good. They can live for up to 5 years in the wild.

I think I forgot to mention that these animal are on the endangered list. They are also very scruffy (very matted fur), ugly (large head small bodies) and very unnerving when up close.

7 Days of Shooting ... Seasonal ... Texture Tuesday.

There aren't many flowers around at the moment after the hot dry summer we had but the Coleus are showing that they appreciate the rain and the cooler weather by putting on lots of growth and flower spikes.

Kailey is comfortably asleep under my desk. I will find a way to get some work done without ejecting her.

Daily Dog Challenge: 1337. "Your Favorite Color" Take a photo of your dog today that includes something (or things) that are in your favorite color. Don't forget to have fun and tell us what the color is! (My favorite colors are the colors of wood. Almost all wood is beautiful to my eye; the less treatment the better.) OH, and of course, the colors of poodles.

7 Days of Shooting Week #52 Your Town Texture Tuesday

Struggling a little to upload and keep on top of my photos due to the fact my Mac has crashed! Using my iPad meantime albeit that makes things so much slower for me - my EXIF details don't transfer over (at times) but hopefully back to normal soon!

for 7DoS: I was about to use a photo I found on my phone, when I realised I could see wheels from where I was sitting! Funny how we sometimes don't register things we see all the time.

For six word story.

One just one, but TWO pairs of jeweled shoes with 5" heels. AND they're been worn. (Bought at a yard sale for $1; apparently she's crazy enough to wear them once but not crazy enough to do it again.)

It's the week of the Chelsea Flower Show, so there are decorations all around the area. Many of the displays are based on fairy tales. This cushion (made of roses & carnations) supports Cinderella's slipper in a shop window.

7DOS texture "when things go wrong" - eat cake, chocolate, or both ;-))

This is the photo I submitted for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. I used her free texture Mayzee. I also added a distress and marbling look using my paint brush tools.

for 7DoS: I had a shot lined up for today, that I took while walking on the beach. As I took it and for ages after, I had a song in my head. Sadly, I have no idea what that was now ... duh! So you get Bicycle race - Queen instead. I hope I can remember that song by the end of the week (O.o)

This "wind sock" has been hanging in our garden for several months and it came all the way from Japan. I understand it is called a Koinobori (carp streamer) and surprisingly the strong winds we had through the end of last year, didn't bother it!!

7 Days of Shooting – Week 1 (w/b 9th July) Biscuits: Now, this might be difficult for some of us as you might not like a biscuit or cookie covered in chocolate and all beautifully crumbly! Yippee, this week we get to eat what we shoot ~ have fun but don’t nibble too much!!

and now we have the inside of a Tim Tam

Yes, if I had the time I'd walk for miles and miles! Taken yesterday during a nice long walk.

Used the WarmSun texture by Kim Klassen. This was taken back in January on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I am just starting to play with textures. Can't wait to see what I come up with.

If only ... they made these in my size. It would be fun to wear them to the office, or even the grocery store.
