Arvo...well it's Summer time for some of us, though it's quite nice at the moment on the rock...
Blue sky, sun and 16c but can feel the cold coming in..geez how to people live when it drops to 0c or minus..🥶🥶
no blood thirsty oz critters on the hunt for humans ...
Someone up north got grabbed by a croc the other month...but they survived so all good...
so very nonchalant ...
We welcome YOU back. These days creative arts are a welcome treat.
thank you again amac, for continuing to honor kavika on your articles ...
Morning...I miss him...🥀
yup
"Kids on the Beach" is awesome. Really nice piece.
monet at the beach ...
Okay, let's have some fun...
Fishing is fun
.
Doing crafts in the park is for sure.
.
These kids are having fun.
.
I'll bet this is fun, but you'll never get me to do it.
.
My wife is having some fun.
.
Tai Jie is fun, and great exercise.
.
These people seem to be having fun.
.
And finally, one of my grandaughters ALWAYS has fun.
Some taller crafts tables might be better for older joints...
LOL. This is not the time to be talking to me about joints, my just having suffered an intense bout of gout.
Arvo... fishing is always fun here...
None of this tame stuff with tiddlers...
We like a bit of action...
And yes fishermen are fair game..😁
Lots of action there. My fishing was very relaxed - off the dock of our lakeside chalet or in the bowrider no more than 20 metres off the dock.
.
Fishing off the dock, rod and Heinekin in hand.
.
Fishing off the bowrider, about 20 metres in front of the chalet.
.
Teaching my son how to fish according to the Confucius proverb. (Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.)
.
Lunch. Note that contrary to normal fishermen's practice, I'm not holding the fish towards the camera to make it appear bigger than it is.
.
When I was a teenager either I was a better fisherman, or the fish were more plentiful.
I don't know what I did to that photo to decapitate myself.
risking your life for a fish dinner in oz ...
Morning.... nothing wrong with that...makes you appreciate it more...
... being the hunter and not the hunted?
Morning...it just all adds to the excitement and thrill..where is the adrenaline rush standing there holding a dead fish??
You earn your food here, otherwise you're it..
They love take away here, especially tasty tourists..saves us locals..
My backyard this morning.

family outing ...
A few years ago, my pup and I made friends with this little buck. He let me pet him (that's how I found the antlers), and followed us part of the way home.
some homeowners in the foothills and mountains here feed the deer, my mother used to feed the raccoons dry cat food. I'm not a big fan. bird baths and feeders don't bother me, but water and food sources become ambush sites for predators.
The deer came from near where some goats were eating, so I'm pretty sure the farmer had been hand feeding the deer along with his goats. He wasn't at all afraid of us, which was probably bad for him in buck season.
the farmer doesn't want to drive to the hunting ground and prefers to feed his future kill at his garage door ...
I had a client that lived south of the metro out in the sticks next to a blindspot in the road that was also a deer trail. since the deer were getting hit regularly there, she had a deal to just inform the county and remove the carcasses for them. then she made her own dogfood for 3 german shepards.
The last home my parents lived in backed up on a small forest, and one time when I drove there to visit there was a deer eating the vine leaves off the side of the house.
They eat the flowers in my flower bed, right next to the front porch. The jerks killed my white phlox.
They probably thought you had planted it for them to enjoy..
They could have enjoyed it like I did, by smelling it.
Had to do a taste test seeing they smelt so nice...
colorful salad ...
deer family wonders why author/photographer doesn't have a garden to ravage.
or a flower garden, fruit trees, something ...
Morning....ahhhh nice..just discovered last night mum possum has another baby on board in her pouch..
Will stay there for approximately 4 months and when it gets to big will progress to being carried around on her back...
Not my photo to hard to get one as mum is very protective....
Looks to me like you'll never have to get by without red meat. Due to the intensity of the gout attack I've just recovered from, there will never be red meat in my diet again.
Hello everyone. Hope all is well where you are. Just dropping in to catch up a bit. Love all the great pictures and comments.
As the old saying goes... "There's no place like home"
it's always nice when you drop in, RW ...
Thank you for dropping by.
Gidday Raven...nice to see you too..
