CASology WEEK 141

The Casology DT announced some wonderful news, Gillian and her husband welcomed a baby boy into their household on April 1st!   So it was felt a baby card would fit the challenge and help the team celebrate this lovely event.

Blue

The theme this week at Our BeautifulWorld #72 is Blue

Saturday had rolled around again and I had no ideas for the cue this week.  Then I remembered an egg cup my mother had since she was a child.  The base is dated 1925

I had a breakfast date with a friend and on the way I saw this nice display in a dress shop.  

As usual our breakfast lasted almost until lunch.  In our defence this time we hadn’t seen each other for quite awhile and had lots to share.  I was telling her about the OBW blog and the cue for this week.  She told me of a shop near her called Blue Suede Shoes.  The name took my fancy so after lunch off I went. 

In the afternoon as I was pottering in the garden I remembered this drinking tray I had made for the birds. 

I have also planted some blue flowers because I heard they attract butterflies.

To finish here is a wool bombed car I saw while I was at the film festival earlier this year.

 Well that's it for today, take care and thank you for visiting.

Historical Monuments

The theme this week at Our BeautifulWorld #71 is Historical Monuments.

There are a number of historical monuments in and around Geelong so I had great plans for Saturday.  Unfortunately I woke with a migraine.  Then my lovely husband came home from visiting his mother in Ballarat and he had taken some photos for me.  What a sweet man.

The first photograph is of the Olympic Games Monument at Lake Wendouree, at the end of the rowing course.  In 1956 the Olympic Games were held in Melbourne.  The rowing and canoeing events were held on Lake Wendouree, Ballarat.

This is the Olympic Creed. 

The second group pf photographs is the Memorial to AustralianPrisoners of War.  Again at Lake Wendouree, Ballarat.

Take care and thank you for visiting.

Rustic

The theme this week at Our BeautifulWorld #69 is Rustic.

This afternoon I suggested to my husband that we go for a drive in the countryside.  I told him I was looking for an example of rustic to photograph.  He said he could show me some interesting roadside letter boxes.

This house owner has turned a bike into a letterbox.

Here are a few more examples of country ingenuity.

A couple more photos I took today.  The first photo is of an old farm house and buildings.  The second is a metal sculpture.

The old building was the last shot I took.  We had pulled over onto the side of the road and as I was taking the photos I was thinking about the warm weather and that it brings out the snakes, when I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye.  Yes a snake!  I quickly returned to the car.  Gosh my pulse was racing.  That was a little more excitement than I wanted.

Well I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.  Take care and thank you for visiting.

Autumn

I have been absent this past month due to a family bereavement. 

Joining the fun at Our Beautiful World this week (#68) is a way of easing back into blogging.  Ros is the host this week and her prompt is Autumn.

This photo was taken back in May.   It was a miserable cold grey day, I was at work and walking between buildings, and there were piles of leaves everywhere.  It took a lot of restraint not to drag my feet through them or kick them in the air.

It is Spring in Australia now so I am including a few photos I have taken recently.

Blossom on one of our pear trees

 Apple blossom

 A neighbour's tree

 Finally this magnificent magnolia tree I saw in Ballarat.  It's the biggest magnolia I have ever seen.

Thank you for visiting and have a great week.
