Anything that Starts with the Letter S.

First a couple of my BW images from Tuesdaybuilding_1470

This was Dalgety’s Wool Store in Geelong.

Now it’s part of Deakin University Wafterfront Campus.

…and still one more as the sun

dips below the western horizon.

building_0011This was one of my favourite buildings to photograph,

however the wreckers have razed the site last week

and these are now memories.

building_0900One of Geelong’s earliest brick buildings.

building_1470Also in Geelong  and old wool store,

now part of Deakin University, I believe.

building_6882Not uncommon are he stone and mortar building

early settlers created.

building_4416Contemporary settlers have other ideas

of what building should look like.

buildings_0203And a night can be spent at Werribee Zoo in these buildings.

I don’t think it would compare to seeing an elephant’s eye

in one’s torch-light, or a myriad of other animals

in and around our camp as in Botswana.

A special memory was the lion roaring

ten minutes after we had crawled into

our canvas tents for the night.

Another drive into the Moorabool Valley on Sunday afternoon

yielded some nice bird shots.

(I am hoping to find a Wedge Tail Eagle there.)

Until then….these will have to do.

brown-hawk_0054a14-BBThis was the first shot of the Brown Falcon

before it sought refuge on the power line.

All birds have been identified by members of the

Australian Bird Photographer’s Network (ABPN)

Mothers Day-2015

 Mother’s Day, Down Under, 2015

Today, May 10, is Mothers Day…and a cold wet day it is.

Another 48 points of rain fell over night.

We were destined for a family lunch today,

however, with offspring working odd hours or

attending church services that ran well beyond

our normal lunch hour,

our luncheon gathering has been turned into a dinner date.

This year’s outing will  be different to

past Mother’s Day outings as it will be the first time a

PDIL has been on the scene.

P.D.I.L.??

Potential Daughter In Law…

commonly known as a girlfriend.

We are looking forward to a pleasant Mother’s Day outing

with our ‘free fooders.‘

Which leaves me wondering if I need a credit card tonight

when they take their Mother out for Mother’s Day.

Hmmmm!!

Time will tell!

I wish all other Mums around the world

a Happy Mother’s Day,

this year, also.
