Yes it was a bit dirty out Cunnamulla way, but nice to see new country out in the Wild West.
On the dirt flats at Bowra. This has been captured in Queensland's wild west, near Cunnamulla. I did a trip out west in seeking the elusive Major Mitchell birds.
In this area the vegetation is sparse and the land is arid and not very productive.
Cunnamulla is around 787Km west from Queensland's capital Brisbane.

Bit of a surprise sunny late morning so out for a couple of hours on Himmy.. 43 miles around my local Peak District!!
Note: I tried 3 different ways to get this enhanced a little bit and re-post if for New Year's Eve of 2023, turning into 2024. None of my ways worked; so here it is without any enhancement that I may have learned how to do a bit of in the last 54 years (1969 to 2023 or Becoming 1970 to 2024) Arrgh!
In about an hour after I wrote this first paragraph, I was able to do some minor enhancements, like tiny bit of saturation, etc.
John was my first husband, and the father of our only two children, a son and a daughter. This picture was before they were born. I posted this picture 8 years ago on Flickr, but I don't think once every 7 or 8 years is too often.
He did not want to go to this party; but I was very extroverted and finally talked him into it. We had a blast.
This photo was probably taken with a Kodak Instamatic Camera. This was New Year's Eve, 1969, so 47 years ago tonight, December 31, 2016 (updated when I posted this on New Years Eve of 2018 to say 49 years ago) and updated one more time on New Year's Eve of 2023 becoming New Year's Day (well itis still dark out ~~ night, but I think you get the picture of 2024 -- See first couple of sentences.
The late John Joseph Carroll was a patrolman on the Oakland, Alameda County, California USA Police Department. Before that he was in the United States Marine Corps. He died years after we were divorced; so I am not a widow, but my children lost their father when they were fairly young, and Anna, my only grandchild so far, never got to meet her Grandfather at all. Actually, she never got to meet her grandfather on her father's side either.
Dave, for the Flickr **Soul of a Photograph** pool I think the soul of this photo is a rather introverted Oakland, California police officer who did not want to go to this New Years Party. I talked him into going and we had a really fun time ~
This is only the third time in 53-54 years I've run this; so if anyone doesn't like it repeating in their group, just delete it or ask me and I will. I may try to enhance it a bit now that it is here, but I tried before midnight and failed 3 different ways and times; so, I'm not super confident I can do any little things. I just wanted to do some minor touch-up, crop a bit and saturate the colors a tiny bit. OK, I did get to finally do that a little bit.
This will likely remain in some of the groups it has been in before, but I will probably add some new ones tonight.

A Bit of A Do 2023 at Pebmarsh produced the usual eclectic mix of bygones, vehicles, machinery and good cheer despite indifferent weekend weather.
As we had almost no snow this winter, a photo from last year. Wish there had been more snow this winter.

What is the meaning of 'Shave and a haircut Two Bits'?
It was the cost of a shave and a haircut in a barber shop during the mid-1800s - Two bits. Two bits equals a quarter.
This is probably a bit unorthodox, but I'm posting photos of Coco, our furry friend in Key West Florida. These photos are from the first year we met Coco.
One evening, Coco (the cat who lives at the inn where we stayed) came into our room with us when we returned to the inn in the evening. Taken by Edgar.
vivienne and i could *not* resist doing a li'l cosplay of the sailor scouts after we managed to collect all the senshi lingerie from tsg! \o/
A bit of history –
The old sign for the Agua Caliente Racetrack in Tijuana on the back of the California Theatre in downtown San Diego. I can remember the sign there from the 60’s. The racetrack hosted both horse and greyhound racing from 1929 until 1992, ceasing horse racing but continuing with greyhound races until 2024.
California Theatre opened in 1927 and became a movie theatre in 1936. In 1976 it closed as a movie theatre and returned to live theatre. The theatre was closed in 1990. Various plans were proposed to renovate the theatre, but none came to fruition. In 2017 a demolition permit was granted, yet the building still stands.

Anna is now fully deboxed. Her skirts are stiff enough to permit her to free stand, although she a bit unstable this way. She is posed standing, supported by her included doll stand. All photos were taken with the built-in camera flash.
Anna is in her coronation gown, with a velvet black bodice and green skirt. The bodice is form fitting, with multicolored embroidery and jewels, with a dark green satin shoulder straps. Her outer skirt is made of panels of yellow green embroidered and jeweled satin alternating with plain dark green satin panels, the pattern repeating ten times. The lighter green panels are tacked together with plastic T-tabs, so we don't see the full extent of the skirt. When the sections are freed, the skirt can expand to a full semicircle. Under the skirt is a full length yellow green satin slip, with a wide lacy hem. Under that is a 3/4 length stiff tulle petticoat. Under that are yellow green satin knee-length bloomers. Finally under that are full length stockings or leggings. Anna is certainly dressed for cold weather. Her legs are wired to the doll stand at the ankles and knees. Her feet are posable, and she is wearing black flats, which is rather disappointing given the gorgeous and unique shoes that Elsa is wearing. She is wearing a necklace, with the pendant stuck to her chest.
Her face is very movie accurate. She has a round face, with huge blue green eyes, long gently curving rooted eyelashes, thin dark brown eyebrows. She has a small pointy nose, thin dark pink lips in a slight smirk, and large round ears. She has orange freckles all over her face, extending down to her neck, shoulders and chest, and even on her upper back. She has a very pale complexion, but her sister Elsa is much, much paler. Her body is the usual LE Princess body, with full articulation in her arms and legs, and an upper torso joint. Her rusty red hair is fashioned into a large bun in the back of her head, with a spiraling braid around a small bun in the middle, out of which comes several thin ponytails, including two very skinny braids, and also several satin ribbons. In front are long curly bangs, and a tight flat braid over it. There is a streak of white hair from her right side, and ending in one of the thin pony tails hanging off the small bun.
Anna is very beautiful and elegant, very much a Disney Princess.
First look at the Harrods special edition of the Disney Store's Limited Edition Anna and Elsa Doll Set. I purchased it through a reseller, as it was only sold at the Harrods London store. It was released on November 1, 2013, in an edition of 100. The retail cost is more than four times that of the separately sold LE Anna and Elsa dolls (which will be released worldwide on November 20, 2013, in an edition size of 2500). My set is #39 of 100, and I received it on November 11, 2013.
They are 17'' fully articulated dolls, with doll stands and certificated of authenticity. Anna is in her coronation gown, Elsa is in her Snow Queen gown. As might be expected, the dolls are considerably different in details than the ''regular'' limited edition dolls. In particular there is considerably more crystals on the outfits, and embroidered snowflakes completely cover the outer gown (cape) of Elsa. Also, Elsa's skin has a pearly shiny surface, very similar to the skin of LE Ursula, although it has a much paler purplish color. She has unique shoes, iridescent blue high heeled shoes with a snowflake design. She also bucks the trend of fully articulated legs in the Limited Edition dolls, by having fixed angled feet. She looks much more elegant with fixed feet in the high heels.
It would be a bit of a tease to post the picture of the Oxford Ford with an AEC in the background, but not post a picture of the AEC, so, here it is.
After service in Oxford, SWL 49J passed through dealers and arrived in the fleet of Smith's Tours of Waterhouses, North Staffs. By about 1981, Smith's had been absorbed into the Berresfords Motors empire and 'SWL' became nominally allocated to the Byrnes of Leek fleet as that was the closest 'Berresfords' garage to the former Smith's operating territory.
Eventually SWL joined the main fleet and the received red and ivory livery. By about 1985, it was loaned to the Stonier's operation and stayed there until the closure of the whole company following Jim Berresford's death in 1987.
My involvement with the bus was when it came to Stonier's, where, not surprisingly, in view if its six speed 'constent mesh' (virtually 'crash') gearbox, it wasn't universally popular, but to those who could drive, it was a powerful rocket. I used to love taking it out and couldn't get enough, especially when the silencer was replaced by something less silencing! The clutch pedal was academic once you were moving, but timing your changes was essential as the box was most unforgiving.
I took this while following deer all through the woods with my mother. (I didn't think this picture would turn out.)
