A gift that I received from my late grandfather. Owning 4 birds I find it funny that of all animals he gave me this ceramic bird with a knot around his neck.
I have him above my desk watching me every day and remember the good times I had with my grandfather,

So it's now Winter in Sydney. June, 2024.
But nobody told the roses!!!
They keep blooming like it's Spring or Summer.
This is 'Just Joey' in my garden.
'Just Joey' is a hybrid tea-rose.
Photographed last Friday, 7th June, 2024.
The bokeh consists of the fiery red leaves of my Canadian Maple 'Lipstick Red' tree which is now in its full Autumn colours - despite it being Winter. The subtropical nature of Sydney's climate alters the seasons.

The distinctive characteristic of French cathedrals, and those in Germany and Belgium that were strongly influenced by them, is their height and their impression of verticality.
Each French cathedral tends to be stylistically unified in appearance . They are compact, with slight or no projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels.
The west fronts are highly consistent, having three portals surmounted by a rose window, and two large towers. Sometimes there are additional towers on the transept ends. The east end is polygonal with ambulatory and sometimes a chevette of radiating chapels.
Greetings! If you are reading this you've survived the in-laws, the Huskies loss, and Santa has stopped by to the delight of all. :-) It's 17 years past Y2K and we are still here, time will tell if we can survive 4 years with a Neanderthal at the helm, but fingers crossed we will persevere. You folks had an amazing year, I saw a LOT of great shots last year and a lot of you have outdone yourselves recently, very cool to see and I'll be looking forward to your travels in the coming year. I do want to reiterate for those who missed it that I pushed the dreaded one pick a day button, it really made my life easier as I follow nearly one hundred people, I flat out don't have time for more than that, my apologies for crushed toes and bruised ego's but I have to find a way to make this work and still have a life out of this chair..... :-) I do enjoy my viewing time, so much to see, so if I miss something great give me a nudge and I'll stop by as soon as I can. I'm looking forward to seeing things that I've never seen this year, hope that I can bring you the same. :-)
as ever, best viewed large....
Rumbling, bumbling, stumbling through this beautiful area and still not where I set out to go I decided that I'd dine when I got to the train trestle (which if you tilt your head up 45 degrees you'll see) :-) and then I came upon this...... There is a downed tree similar to this wonderful fellow on which to sit and this is the view. Man I love it here. :-)
blow it up and stay a while, lots to see.

I went to look for the chamois again today, and although they showed up they didn’t seem pleased that I had brought my mom along... they made a big show of giving warning calls and sprinting towards cover while not appearing particularly nervous. (They do remind me a bit of cats.) As I didn’t manage to capture their show very well I took a few flower shots instead...

A Cracking sunrise on Sunday in more ways than one..
Whilst traveling to Zouch for sunrise a tog friend and I decided on a quick stop on the way at Sawley...this turned out to be a unfortunate decision...whilst on the way back to the car I slipped on ice and landed very heavily on my elbow...I was in extreme pain but decided on keeping on going to our chosen location...although I was happy to capture a beautiful sunrise I later learned I had carried on photographing with a fractured elbow.. lol..I'm not safe to go out with a camera...
