At Santa Barbara Orchid Estate. Thirteen of us lifted it onto the truck. Once it got to the showgrounds it was moved with a forklift. Allan Dougherty, in the green shirt, was the photographer (well, it was his camera anyway). The orchid was probably about 30 years old.
Kingston Foreshore, Canberra. A rare sunny day, free of smoke from the bushfires raging in NSW and Victoria.
Dad may be tugging and taking pictures, but Mom is trying to flank Jasper and steal his frisbee. Fat chance! Good boy Jasper. Way to stay in command of your environment
An Aussie Summer Stock Production of... Hamlet...
With soooo much rain and triple digit temps my Aussies Roxy & JJ have taken to producing some summer stock one act plays inside the house... (they are very fast scenes lol) ...anything inside to beat the triple digit, heat even if it drives mom & dad bonkers... their very favorite is Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 1.... "alas, poor Monkey, we knew him well..."
This is\was a big purple monkey squeaky toy, now missing an arm and a leg... although I don't think in the original play by Shakespeare that as Hamlet inspected poor Yorick's skull it was a result of being torn apart in a game of tuggy by two hyper Aussies.... well, there are many such 'Yorick's' in this house...
I think Roxy & JJ want to do a production of 'Game of Thrones' next, they have a couple of Dragon toys that need more 'tugging'....
(Don't say break a leg... I don't need the emergency Vet bill right now)
(Sorry for the grain\noise, still raining so ambient light is low resulting in higher ISO's)

Every once in a while (like 17 times a day) my wife is overcome with the urge to hug Jasper. The price you pay for being an adorable fluffy dog, I guess. Well, there are worse things than being loved, Jasper.
This is 'Bri' a young friend of mine who loves photography & doing a little bit of modelling for me.
I love Taking classic B&W photos but i have to admit i do really enjoy doing selective colour B&W in editing.
Hervey bay/ˈhɑrvi ˈbeɪ/ is a city in Queensland, Australia. The city is situated approximately 290 kilometres (180 mi) or 3½ hours highway drive north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is a natural bay between the Queensland mainland and nearby Fraser Island. The local economy relies on tourism which is based primarily around whale watching in Platypus Bay to the North, access to Fraser Island, accessible recreational fishing and boating and the natural north facing, calm beaches with wide undeveloped foreshore zones.
At the 2011 Australian Census the city recorded a population of 76,403.[1] Hervey Bay is an area of high population growth...
Climate
Hervey Bay has a mild climate with an average 30 °C (86 °F) in summer and 22 °C (72 °F) in winter. The coast is predominantly affected by the south east trade winds throughout the summer with occasional strong northerly winds and storm swells. These winds keep the temperatures down in summer and up in winter, preventing temperature extremes. As a result, Hervey Bay rarely experiences temperatures over 35 °C (95 °F) in summer or under 5 °C (41 °F) in winter.
Cyclones are a threat at times with Cyclone Hamish threatening in 2009 as a Category 5. The land mass of Fraser Island significantly affects the pattern of weather in Hervey Bay and protects the immediate marine environment from open ocean storm effects. Cyclone Oswald in 2013 caused significant damage in the area, mainly as a result of tornadoes spawned by the system. The average rainfall for the year is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in). December to March is the main rainy period, with a secondary peak in May and June. The months of April and from July to November are generally dry and sunny.
Whale watching
Hervey Bay is the whale watching capital of Australia, with humpback whales migrating along the coast between April and October every year. Researchers at the Oceania Project conducted a 14 year study which found the bay was an important social hub for humpback whales.[15] Whale number have increased from about 2,000 in 1992, to around 7,000 in 2005.[15] Hervey Bay is the resting place for Humpback whales, Mum's and Calves, they come to the Bay to rest and build up energy for their long travels back to Antarctica. The Adults come to play, socialise and there have been heat runs observed in the Bay. The Humpback Whales are known to be very relaxed in the company of the whale watching vessels.
