This is a quiet bush road near my house, the trees are absolutely amazing!!! If you have not been to Australia I am not sure you will fully understand the feast of the senses that the Aussie bush provides. Standing alone in the bush at sunrise you see the subtleness of the colours, the greys and greens, the sounds of the birds and wildlife...... the condensation dripping.....
and the incredible smell of the native Eucalypt forests that imprints a memory that will last forever... Happy Australia Day!
I was traveling on business this week and Jean, my wife, sent me this video telling me Jasper will be ready to play when I got home. I love how he shows Ella the Elephant what’s what.
Christmas gifts are so often about the kids. Fur kids included. A 1-minute video that summarizes Jasper's Christmas, including sleeping off his Pig's Ear coma. 😜
O.K. We don't all drink beer. And when they make coffee, they really make coffee! Almost looks too fancy to consume.
This Australian Shepherd thought it might be funny to stick his tongue out during photo time. I mean every photo we took of him, he stuck his tongue out. Apparently he does this all the time, just one more quirky thing dogs do.

This windmill is in a paddock near our house and is in the middle of a new housing estate. Directly behind the windmill you can see a row of houses. I am not sure how much longer this will be here as I would imagine the land will all be subdivided and sold off for development.
I went out with the intention of trying to get some shots with the wheel spinning and getting a blurring effect with the ND filter. I managed to get the blurring but could not quite get the composition right. This is taken in the late afternoon so the light was pretty good. I wanted to get the best out of the clouds but had a hard time getting the wavy cloud formation and the windmill at the right angle.
I have played areound a fair bit with the saturation and have probably been a bit heavy handed.
Echo and Jax running between the vines at Cobbler Mountain Cellars - You can just see Jax in hot pursuit of Echo - I think it frustrates him a bit, no longer being able to catch up - but he is 10 and she is just a young whippersnapper of two. Fast as Echo is, I don't think she would have caught Jax back in his prime. It was a super cold day for April, so the dogs were THRILLED, and their humans were bundled up and still shivering.
What can be more iconic than the kookaburra is for Australia. He is enshrined in song, verse and in Australian folklore. If you remember the early days of TV when the old Tarzan movies were around, you would remember hearing an odd sounding bird that sounded like a human laughing. Yep, you guessed it right, its the kookaburra.
I can recall after our first night in Australia we were awakened by the sound of something that sounded like a monkey laughing. Our young son had the answer when he said, "That's a kookaburra, the laughing bird." He did his research.
Anyway, we have five of this great birds that every morning start their laughing at the earliest hint of light. The laughing continues as they get closer and closer and finally they are on the fence behind our window singing in the new day, and waiting for a morning handout.

A quick video of playtime with Lamp Chop where you can hear Jean, my wife, go into character voice :-)
(thanks to Jayme and Dash for Jasper's early Christmas present)
Met these lovely fellows while out walking today. When they walk, they walk side-by-side, actually touching. I wish I'd gotten a shot of them walking away, because their cute little butts sway in unison. Hilarious and so cute!

The koala is one of the two native animals that Australia is known for. This little fella was walking across a bridge and escaped up a tree before I could take his photo. But, he seemed to pose for me. Hope you enjoy!

Dash and Jayme, Flickr friends accompanied us to Boyce Thompson Arboretum yesterday. Dash did some volunteer cleanup work with one of the dead trees. A natural for sure
Deany came to visit today for another long overdue ‘play date’ … I suggested he bring along his lovely Ms Kenton, (from the original Australian seller,) as I wanted her to meet my two new swirl ponytails;- a lemon blonde and a brunette, who are both Aussie gals too! They came with their OSSs, shoes and boxes with price stickers from Myer, (which back then was called Myer’s, and is kinda like Macy’s in the US,) the very same big–city department store where I used to buy all my Barbies when I was a kid! The price was 27 shillings/6 pence, (roughly $2.75.) I also wanted to show Deany my two new Pak ‘Go Everywhere’ silk sheath dresses, in red and turquoise blue, (I bought the emerald green one that Ms Kenton is wearing quite a while ago.) I also have the lemon yellow one arriving next week, and have the gold version NRFP, (also pictured here.) We thought they looked like some snazzy early Sixties girl group ;- Ladies and gentlemen, presenting ‘The Swirl Girls’! hehe…
