That is some really nice work you posted up there, AMac
Beautiful pieces.
Thank you; I'm in the woods at the moment and the connection is sporadic.
Evening.. enjoy your time in the woods...always so good to get the chance to appreciate Mother Nature and her handy work .. it's good for the body and the soul..
In Memory of Kavika (Pictured with Veronica (Red)
I don't give a damn that Trump says "Never say never." I will never forget Kavika.
That is such a great photo.
I miss Kavika's presence and his comments..it no longer feels quite the same anymore without him..😔
Variety is the spice of life.
For it's always fair weather when good fellows get together.

These two good fellows founded China - notice the size of the 2 hill-climbers on the right.

This is entitled "Floating a loan".

Do arms make the man?

Not the bells Hemingway wrote about.

Love is golden.

In so many words the sign says "Smoking may be bad for your health."

THIS one certainly says it.

A bridge not too far.

Don't box me in.
Interesting collection.
Thank you. It's a potpourri. I'm a believer in diversification.

That is AMAZING.
Thank you!
great composition G!
now I just need amac to explain to me why I like it so much ...
Thanks!
Beautiful. Love the color and how the buildings blend with the background.
I felt that way as well.
Thanks much.
... nice kitty...
I'd be lion if I said I didn't want a nap right now...
I forgot these articles get locked on sunday nights, so I wasn't able to post my windshield viper pun on shona's pictures last week when I was traveling ...
Since I spend 40 hours a week in front of my computer at work, I don't normally get online at all on evenings and weekends. Most of the fun here is over before I log back in on Monday.
I get that. after 50 years of dealing with the public in sales and service capacities, this place is about my farthest extent of dealing with people. meh, at least I'm not paying $87 per month letting all my phone calls go to voicemail any more.
Morning... windshield?? You mean windscreen..🙄 I will re post it for you...
And yes they are deadly...we don't do harmless stuff...that's wussy...
I was going to say last week when you suggested I get a snake, I used to have a red tail boa back when I was first married to my first wife. I actually bought it for her. We gave it to the local pet store just before our son was born. It was a little over 2 meters long.
What an asp...
we'll keep that in mind when we start shipping out politicians ...
I don't do snakes well ...
No worries..we have a return sender policy...works for us...
no I don't. boot, bonnet, carriage, lorie, saloon ...
bloody hell, learn to speak about cars from the people that have made the most of them in the last 100+ years ...
Morning...says one who drives on the wrong side of the road..🤣
Yeah we killed ourselves laughing when we saw your yank tanks...and the petrol bill that went with it...
Ours were smaller, faster, leaner..and not a "pick up" in sight..we have utes far superior and built for our conditions..
... petrol, utes, I rest my case. what's with the roo deflectors on those toy trucks? don't they come with steering wheels or brakes, or is that for for the benefit of any oz pedestrians between the bottle shop and home?
Nahh there for the buffalo up north and the roos down south..so we cater for all needs...
Pedestrians are fair game that's 10 points for a hit..and if they're staggering from the bottlo that's extra..😁
Need to get with the program Vangy..
That the MAIN objective.
Lorie..hmm I guessing you mean lorry??
Nope not here, never ever, not in a million years...that's Brit to the eyeballs..they wouldn't know a decent truck unless it bit them..
Always truck..or road train here...
Some of my neighbors
What is the middle image?
Morning...looks like a lady bird...
"Lady bird" Hmm. Must be an archaic, medieval dialect. We call them ladybugs.
Cars, insects. There just doesn't seem to be any linguistic meeting ground...
(Are we ganging up on you?)
Good morning to you too. Just finished breakfast. Yes, that's what it is. Thank you.
Err no definitely ladybirds..there is even a poem about them..
No, gg, we're not ganging up on you, There are only a few of us on NT who speak and spell 'genuine' English.
Thanks for providing that interesting historical document. 14th Century?
Here is the modern version -
Isn't it "gaunging up" in your dialect?
See you mob stuff around with everything..😁
The name ladybird originated in Australia. It was changed to Lady bug in America where it was introduced into California to help control pests in citrus orchids. Despite being one of the most loved insects in the backyard they are one of its most voracious predators.
"gaunging"? No such word in the Oxford dictionary.
I guess I was off by two or three centuries.
Colour, labour... It must be in there somewhere. Check the Appendix.
Yes I was trying to work it out as well..I think it must be the accent..🐨
It must be. In your dialect you probably pronounce it like "gonging".
They also eat the aphids that attack our rose bushes.
Yes they are excellent aphid exterminators..
There is a plague of them in South Australia at the moment because it is so dry..but no one minds..I always rescue them when I see them stuck etc...
even the oz bugs are blood thirsty ...
No these ones are fine...they will just smother you to death..
nite nite..😴
Morning...we train our lady birds to go for the throat, especially overseas tourists...
An ABC photographer was in SA taking photos of the plague when they decided they liked him...
I like ladybirds but not this much...
maybe he had aphids ...
I am so glad that my picture of a "ladybug" inspired so much fun and interesting discourse.
Loved it

Inspiration continues.
Morning... actually I didn't realise how many different colours there are with ladybirds...
I just googled it and it is rather surprising...I thought they only came in red, but apparently not..
Time to say “good night”.
Thanks to all.
