They don't build them like they used to

It's a wonder...

...That I ever manage to get any work done in an office like this! ;-)

Warms the cockles of my heart ...

Guess we won't have to worry too much this coming summer - from my back deck

Backburning Part 2

Neither is Pepi

Backburning Part 1

Horse is not impressed - from back fence

Water water everywhere

Flood

11:40am - cnr Elbow & River

Damp damp damp

North Kempsey fields from the train this morning

The right stuff

The start of the wet

Weekend chore

To do a spot of sorting and tidying

Sunday morning lay-in

At least for someone

I'm sitting in a railway station ...

... and not exactly crowded for the 7:54 XPT

Reconciliation Day

It went well

Autumn skies

From work

and the skies only got better for the next hour or so

Southbank Road

Eungai Rail

Our house roughly centre of frame

Short platform

So the drivers need a few aids

Reflecting on life...

...in Eungai Rail

Clybuccca sunset

A pity I didn't have the good camera with me

They're back!

The tree snake didn't wipe them all out
natural planking
(these ones are just slightly larger than a thumbnail)

The office

Warm and cosy

Lending a little support

The vines they do grow high

Ears up

My fat little gal

I know you're up there ...

...and I am very patient

A walk in the light green - MkII

The front path

Sunset in the trees

The hill opposite our house

The guard at the gates ...

...of sunset

Sunset Jacaranda #2

Western fenceline

Eungai Rail...

...way station
Rates installment must be due - the council have mown the grass

Autumn leaves

Can I help if they don't know they are supposed to turn brown and fall?

'twas the evening before Mother's Day

the view as we dined

Nambucca River

Scary

The inner light

My new office

Still rather pristine

Sun's going down ...

...as I leave work

Waiting...

...but not in vain for the train
Eungai looking south

In training...

...on the way to work

A happy dog

Obviously has impeccable taste in owners!

Need to clear out the cobwebs

Oceanz office, Eungai

Departure: Wondering where the lions are

Sun's up, looks OK, the world survives into another day
and I'm thinking about eternity

The last box

Just a few clothes and a light blanket to go, then tape and address it

Apologies to Lao Tzu ...

Dress rehearsal:
The journey of 500 miles begins with one step

The final step

I wondered why P has a 4WD - maybe it is so she can get in and out of the garage ;-)

Fog

Not the Ellis D. type

Apologies to Jackson Brown...

Running on empty

Apologies to Grieg ...

Morning Mood
