July 30 - August 4, 2011

Let it all hang out I took this earlier this month. We were on The Strand in Townsville and it looks like these guys thought it was ok to air their dirty (or clean) washing in public. If you enlarge the shot you can see the licence plate on their car reads OKINOZ, lol. 

Mount Stuart We went for a drive up to Mount Stuart in Townsville. It has been burnt just recently and there is still a few fires around making everything really hazy. Not great for taking photos. The grass trees (Xanthorrhoea) have all been burnt but will look better than ever very soon. This one could be about 100 years old, they are really slow growing.

Golden candle (Pachystachys lutea)

Can you see me? This little gecko was trying to blend in with the bromeliad he was hiding in. He was doing a pretty good job too, I nearly didn't see him.

Fireworks Our local show was on today. I tried to get some decent shots. It was all rather hit and miss. This was one of the better shots.

Bubbles I love the delight on the face of my little great-niece. I love her shirt too, it says "gone to the naughty corner, back in 5 minutes" 

 

Wanna play... huh? Do ya? Lily (the cat) walks past Maddie (great dane) every day. Maddie would love her to come and play but Lily wants no part of it. It's always quite funny to watch.
