Image-in-ing – Pear Thief

Linking up with image-in-ing

We had pear thieves again this year but this time they are more brazen and let me get very close to them.

 Rosellas are so pretty we can forgive them.   We just have to pick the pears quicker than they can eat them.  All they leave behind is the core hanging from the tree

Thanks!

What a lovely decoration for an autumn pathway.  All the paths and fences in the garden were decorated in this way.

Thanks!

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.

 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.
