This little Whiptail Wallaby came bounding out of the bush this morning while photographing near some grazing properties. He stopped and posed perfectly amongst these purple wildflowers. Yatala, QLD Australia.
Almost open, ready to face the world.
A fast growing and bushy plant to 2 metres tall, useful for informal hedging and screening, as well as for container growing. It has large mid pink lightly perfumed flowers throughout spring and summer. The flower petals are edible. Foliage is lightly furry. Waterwise and a low maintenance plant. Frost tolerant and can be used for coastal sites.
Some fun of course :) But sometimes it seems for me he is taking himself for some kind of king :)

Just posing on a bench at the Riparian Preserve. Missing our boy as we do the family visit thing in WI over Christmas.
As a Kangaroo bounds away, veteren loco GM43 stands at the head of a GWA rail train in the loop at Nantawarra while waiting for a cross before pushing back a couple of KMs to start unloading rail on 27-3-2017.
GM43 and GM37 have continued on as regular runners on rail trains for ARTC while the remaining units have now been in storage for almost 2 years now
We were reunited with Jasper last night after our week-long Christmas holiday trip to the frigid north visiting family. Jasper was much more in the mood to play than to stop and take photos. But a quick pause at sunset seemed a reasonable thing to ask.
Pretty sure i photographed some type of wattle here, but not completely certain.

When you sleep with your head on the Oddball, a little bit of it seeps into the brain, directing your dreams to fun times.
We got our second covid vaccine shots yesterday. I'm very happy about that. Maybe soon we can socialize. Travel. Go to the gym. Won't that be grand? Though I think Jasper has grown rather used to having me home all day. On the handful of days I've gone into the office, my wife reported that Jasper has been a bit confused, wondering just where the heck I was.
Yesterday being Jasper's Gotcha Day, I was looking through some of the 43,000+ photos I have of him. This one made me laugh. He was just over a year old here. I love the look in his eyes and the angle of his back feet. And Pearl, the black-tri Aussie's spacey look seems so incongruous with the rest of the scene. Don't remember gray dog's name.

Lots of banners created as part of a project to show the varied backgrounds of migrants to Australia.
Jasper put Christmas Bear up on the couch and then rolled his eyes between me and my wife. Back and forth. Knowing that one of us would make a move. For the record, I was the one that made the first move, but I wasn't fast enough to get Bear away.
Not the most clever title ever written, but it seemed apt enough 😁. I always walk Jasper alone on Sunday mornings. And his pre-dawn Sunday morning walks have reduced from 3-4 miles (~5+ km) to about 1 mile (1.6 km) over the years. But the weather the past month has been just fabulous. So for about the last month or two, after getting home from the gym, I ask him if he wants to go for another walk. He jumps to his feet, affirming his desire. He's been taking me on about an extra 2 mile (~3.2 km) walk. I think he's turning into a "not a morning dog". At 5AM, he's like, "lets keep this short so I can get the rest of my breakfast and a little more shuteye." But at 9AM, he's like, "Chip chop, chap! We got some walking to do." A very long way to tell you that I often bring my camera with on the second Sunday morning walk, and this was from last Sunday.
I'm lucky to have two companions on our hikes. The human is Jean, my wife. The canine is of course Jasper.
"Chickens aren't the only ones.
There's no more to discuss.
Everything that lays an egg is OVIPAROUS!" (from the book "Chickens Aren't the Only Ones" which I used to read to the kids at work at Easter.)
A studio 26 assignment for creative thinking. Final (and only) submission. I was given three random words by another group member. My words were carrot, hair scrunchy and empty picture frame. Not sure I totally nailed it, but this is what popped into my little brain today. And it contains all the elements. Jasper was all bored with the idea, so I asked my wife Jean to come into the room. He totally perked up. Sweet boy loves his mama.
Had a couple of other ideas to try but time slipped away (We get a lot of guests this time of year in Arizona)
Funny, whenever I pull out the backdrop in my home office, Jasper hears the sound and runs into the room and sits on the backdrop, like "I know what you're going to ask me to do. Where do you want me to sit/stand/lay?"
