Oops, I did it again.

Day 165/365

Sunday after work.

Looking up the creek towards the harbour.

Day 166/365

A quick shot of the blossom on the driveway.

I was doing 'school' work all day so this

is about all I got around to.

Day 167/365

The suns rays from outside the shop.

I wish everyone could see this everyday.

Looks like the rays of heaven shining through.

Day 168/365

A nice nearly sunny afternoon,

I spent most of the day doing more of the school

work, I took this in the arvo just before sunset.

These are the same boats that are in the first pic.

They look so different when you can

actually see them.

Day 169/365

Shopping day Thursday, it was not a

very nice day again, so not much to

see, even the birds on the lake were hiding.

This is the moon, it was really nice shining

through the trees, but of course almost

impossible to take a pic of.

Day 170/365

Friday, I tried to get a pic of the sun coming

up over the horizon, ha, what a joke,

it was cold, it was raining and it

was mid morning before I even realised there

was a sun, and then it only shone for a

few minutes. So for the

days pics you get some of the stock

in our wonderful shop.

Rods and some reels. with dive gear

behind them.

This pretty much shows the length of the

shop, shows it is only about 20 steps

from the front to the back.

The soft plastics on the wall.
Boring, I get to look at them all day.

And answer stupid questions like which one

is going to work today, sheesh, if i knew

that I would go fishing everyday

instead of going in and trying to sell the stuff.

The other question I get a lot is 'i am coming up there

in two months what is the weather going to be

like then?' Yeah like I am god and can

tell them that.

Day 171/365

Today Sat 12th July.

Hardly left the house at all, it was too

cold outside and the wind would blow

the hair off your head if you stayed out too long.

So I got real brave and went for a wander

around the paddock. I wanted to take

photos of the different wattles

around the yard.

When we first moved here Marks

dad gave us Cootamundra wattles to plant

around the boundary line, they are out at the moment

and make the coastal wattle look insignificant.

Coota Wattle, lovely yellow, like wattle should be.

The local stuff, grows wild all over the place,

some of it looks like this, not sure if this is after the

yellow bit or before.

This is the same bush, with the yellow stuff,

really looks creamy to me.

Then there is this, I don't think this is wattle,

the leaves are totally wrong, but the little

blossom looks like the wattle flower.

I don't do gardens or green things so would not really know.

I thought while I was out there and could still

feel my fingers I would take a pic of a dry

leaf hanging from the tree, I could not

find a dead leaf but I did find this,

it is some sort of cocoon, Mark thinks some

sore of insect. It is about 3.5 inches long and 2 and

a bit across, filled with all sorts of fluffy stuff.

Intrigued to know what it is, bet

I cant remember to keep an eye on it.

Here is the dead leaf, I did manage to find one.

I think I put the camera onto aperture to take

this, I could not get the camera to focus

in any other setting. Might be time to reset

factory settings.

And finally this......Um, not sure exactly what this is.

It is definitely something alive, it grows out in the middle

of nowhere, not a mushroom (I don't think), it is hard,

I could not break a piece off, tho I didn't try very hard.

Only tiny, maybe two inches across, if that.

What ever it is, I will just say it is one of those things,

you know.

That's it for now, past my bedtime,

I have now got two sick girls, Tiff has come down

with it too, hope it is just a cold not this swine flu.

I am supposed to be going to Batlow for a few

days so hope they get over it quickly.

I will have all my children in the same place at

the same time, first time since January 2005 I think.

We are so spread out that it take a lot to

get us together. I will have to make sure

my camera battery is charged and ready.

Shoot, look at the time, I wont be able

to get out to go to work in the morning.

Night all, thanks for stopping by.

Be good, or at least be careful.
