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.

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 .

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.

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...

Very relaxed animals.  They wouldn't be that relaxed if they knew what was on the BBQ.
