Australia Day.
Often when I walk through natural landscapes, I wonder if this is what the land would have looked like before white man arrived.
Maybe it is my mixed heritage, that makes me ponder these thoughts?
Today... some people celebrate.
Today... other people across this nation, particularly traditional owners, protest against "Invasion Day".
I have never celebrated Australia Day as "the anniversary date of the arrival of the First Fleet".
I do celebrate it... as a public holiday... time to spend with family and friends.
It is a shame that our national holiday isn't celebrated and inclusive for all Australians. Would changing the date make a difference?
This photo was taken recently on a cloudy day... an old bucket dumped on the shoreline by the receding tide... and looking quite out of place.
Today it felt quite apt to post this pic.
I sit here this evening feeling a little melancholy and out of place.
Our nation still has a long way to go, to find true acceptance and reconciliation.
I hope it happens within my lifetime.

This ford T bucket is at the Move museum in Shepparton Victoria Australia at the moment.

Christmas Candy Cane Poem about Jesus
Look at the Candy Cane
What do you see?
Stripes that are red
Like the blood shed for me
White is for my Savior
Who’s sinless and pure!
“J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure!
Turn it around
And a staff you will see
Jesus my shepherd
Was born for Me!

Went painting saturday at this other spot, finished a acid spaced out peice ... while I was heading out as I still had some white bucket I decided to kill it on the wall with this little throw.
Old Ore Bucket
Behind framed by the Wooden boards is a down shaft. The Eagle is about 400 feet deep and the shaft the photo was taken about half way. The down shaft has a drop od about 200 more feet, meeting up with more horizontal shafts as it extends downward. The miners would actually ride the bucket down or up to access some of these tunnels

We had a comfort stop while the driver bought our tickets to the Park. The low tech toilets were closed for an upgrade, so we were directed to a bank of high tech Honey Buckets instead. I had to have a photo, nobody back home would believe me otherwise.
Sol Duc Falls; Olympic National Park. As you can easily see from my Photostream I am hooked on waterfalls. This is one I have admired from afar for far too long. It lived up to every expectation. In the land of waterfalls, this triple falls stood out above the rest!
Joy and I had the opportunity to spend 20 days exploring Olympic and Rainier National Parks and the Oregon coast. The road trip covered 4000 miles. Coming from the brown of southern California, the intensity of the GREEN in the temperate rain forests wad almost overwhelming. The weather was tough (it is a RAIN forest!) and the light challenging, but it was a magnificent trip. I hope you enjoy some of the shots.
Just out of the siding at Toole on the 4th Sub, coal buckets swing along the gorgeous Clark Fork River as they head east.
Amazing what you can find at the $1.25 Store. From fairy lights to glittery roses, you can find quite a few props for photos. Enjoy your week and have a Happy Valentine's Day!
I headed to Quebec with a friend early on Saturday morning and decided to hit up Beaconsfield. The pedestrian only overpass was our first stop and was definelty worth checking out. The CP Vaudreuil sub that connects to the Winchester is viewable and seen here. Within an hour of arriving we got notice that CN 305 had a solo BCOL unit in the lead and after a lengthy wait as they were out of crews it finally departed in the Early afternoon.
I did not go storm chasing Sunday, but said I will wait for storms to come to me, and hope they still have lightning in them. 9 hours later, I took my mom out to watch the storm. I set up my camera at the last standing grain elevator in Leader Saskatchewan, where I have lived for 37 years. 30 pics into the 3.2 second exposures, this happened!! It has been my dream capture for years, and tonight it finally happened! Grain elevators were once prevalent on the prairies, when the last one in a neighboring town burned down earlier this year, I said I would have to take more pics of Leaders. Another elevator in the province burned down the same day, due to lightning.
In spite of its sinister name, The Bucket of Blood Saloon gives off the charm of the old-time hey-days with its many hanging lamps and mirrors. Memories of a time long ago await the visitor wandering into the bar for a cold drink in this cool oasis.
The BUCKET of BLOOD Saloon-“the Original”. This structure was constructed in 1876 after the great fire of 1875 which destroyed up to a thousand structures of the town. Most of the town’s core buildings were lost or sustained damage, unfortunately the first structure that previously occupied this location, like a lot of the other town’s buildings of that time was completely destroyed. Though the building you are currently viewing has gone through several renovations, iterations and operations since 1876, it like many of the other historical buildings throughout Virginia City survive as living history.
The masonry walls of the Old BUCKET predate the great fire of 1875. Shadows of doorways recall a time when enclosed stairs led down to the Boston Saloon. The BUCKET of BLOOD has long served as a local landmark in the center of Virginia City. Until recently no one realized that the Boston Saloon lay under an asphalt cap to the rear of the building.
In the centre is clearly the bucket,
But the camera's action
Means considerable distraction,
And the girls completely ignored it.
I was focusing on the two mudlarks fishing in the river's mud for treasures when these two girls walked into the picture - and improved it considerably. Fuji X100F (cropped image).
Please God: let me ride the surf......before it's too late.
Explored FP: Thank you...again and again.
Idling in CPKC's Port Coquitlam rail yard, D&H (Delaware and Hudson) 7304 and engineer pose while the train builds air. Looking rather worse for wear with its decaying exterior, 7304 is the last active GP38-2 in D&H colours as of 2025. Originally built for the Lehigh Valley railroad in 1972, 7304 still soldiers on in revenue service as allegedly one of Port Coquitlam's best pullers.

'Twister', a supercharged street legal T-Bucket, starts its high-speed run on the race track at Santa Pod Raceway on 19th September 2020.
Bucket seats.
When it rolled out the Ford factory it was just another pickup truck destined for a life no doubt carrying produce from farm to town.
Little is known of its history but what is known is that this pickup is now on Australian soil and has undergone a tremendous transformation.
Today it is one mean street machine and it turns heads whenever it makes an outing.
The original uncomfortable bench seat has be ripped out and replaced with more comfortable custom created bucket seats.
Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia.
Live for the simple things
Live for the things that make you happy
Endure with grace the moments that don't
Seek out your peace
Let go of things and people that disturb it
And fill your days with sunrises and sunsets
and following after beauty,
the wild in you,
and the deepest truth.
