Beautiful shots, Buzz.
Morning...well that was a fun night..had a few storm fronts coming through and copped over 100kph winds and rain..
The wind was screaming around the house like you hear in horror movies...
As it's nearly Spring here the Maggies have built a nest in a gumtree next door... thought the nest would be blown out of the tree... nope it is still there and mum Maggie is still sitting in it... unbelievable...
Can just make it out right hand side tree branch going straight up a solid looking blob..
They will swoop you and chase you, but if you make friends with them they leave you alone...I made friends with them and these are about the 3rd generation that have lived here... going on 40 years...
Baby who use to tap on my window was driven off a couple of weeks ago...I miss him and his antics...
I have to admit I'm not comfortable around birds that are out free of cages. Just as I'm not comfortable in the ocean maybe because of the movie Jaws, I might have been negatively nfluenced by the Hitchcock movie The Birds. Got to tell you I'm even uncomfortable looking at your bottom photo.
So other words the Great Southern Land is not for you? 😁
It's a rite of passage here to be swooped at least once in your life time..if not that's very UnAustralian..🤣
I mean look at the dynamics..sleek, smooth, less wind resistance just like a flying missile going straight for your head...😁
If being in Australia requires being swooped, I'm happy to stay where I am.
That's wonderful.
I went to our County Fair. Very nice weather, usually it is very hot and at least one thunderstorm. Lots of food, livestock exhibits. displays, rides, venders. I worked a booth for a local group. Saw many old friends, ate BBQ, enjoyed the sights. First picture is the midway .
Is that the moon?
Here is a shot of the moon over the fair I took leaving this evening.
The first picture was last night and it was cloudy then. That was a big pole light
Yes, now that you mentioned it I can see that the sky is full of clouds in that first picture.
This is one of the food venders. There was all kinds of food and it smelled good.
Looks all the better since I can't eat that right now
Wow that looks great.. can't beat a good barbie..
Biggest BBQ I ever saw.
The livestock barns had many cows, pigs, sheep on display. They are raised as FFA and 4H projects
I never wwnt to a county fair in my life - only in the movies. Thanks for showing us what it's really like.
They also had tractor pulls, demolition derby (a semi-organized car wrecking contest), harness racing, a beauty pageant, all kinds of displays and several concerts. Politicians were there campaigning. I didn't take any pictures of those because I didn't think of doing this until last night.
Big local event and marks the end of summer.
Obviously it must be a lot of fun.
Arvo Charger...sounds like you had a great time all round..
We still have country shows here as well and it's always a lovely time getting show bags and eating fairy floss (cotton candy) as you wander around the grounds...
Oh, so bad for your teeth.
Once a year won't do them any harm..see..
Have you been feeding them cotton candy?
They like tasty tourists better..gives them pearly whites..
The fair is over, rides and traveling venders and exhibits and have moved on to next location, Locals have collected their stuff. They are cleaning up and getting ready for fall horse racing and events
There were lots of pigs
Yum...bacon on the hoof..
Almost lunch time here - getting hungry looking at that BBQ and the beef and pork on the hoof.
Very relaxed animals. They wouldn't be that relaxed if they knew what was on the BBQ.
Due to the holiday this Creative Arts Weekend article is being extended to Monday night, even though nothing has been posted for the past two days.
LOL.. Didn't matter, this article got wiped off the Front (Home) Page anyway.
back to the front
You did it, thanks.
Morning...
Up Up the hospital getting some treatment...not a bad view..
Nothing drastic only takes 30 mins a bone strengthener infusion so all good...
Glad that the treatments are effective. And yes, nice view.
Now Labour Day is done so it is time to close this extended Creative Arts Weekend. Thanks to all who contributed with images, comments and votes up. This article is now locked.
