Gates

2011-06-12T10:24:00.001+10:00

The plan for late last week was to stop and take some pics of gates on our way to Hobart (1 1/2 Hours drive from home) We had a bit of rain over night and the weather drizzly with rain when we left

Both these pics taken just before Triabunna (1/2 hours drive from home down coast)

And this is what we encountered a further 1/2 hours drive along, half the road closed due to flood waters...and when we came home at the end of the day we didn't even have any puddles in our backyard!

Gates

2011-05-30T19:05:00.003+10:00

The first two are out of the archives from a trip to visit a certain someone........

But the rest are from a recent weekend visiting friends at there weekender farm. Much more interesting than the gates at home!

I have a new you beaut phone with internet access and on this trip I found myself with time to wander about snappy away. I almost rang the chookster to find out the current challenges and then I had an a-ha moment and I logged onto snappy friends. It has been a long time since I have had a chance to wander freely taking pics. I covered a few challenges on this trip.

Farm Gates.........

2011-05-29T20:06:00.000+10:00

Since it is farm day I went with farm gates for my gates post............I have been thinking about this for weeks and I was in a beautiful big town and saw lots of gorgeous house gates then thought oh well most of you live in towns and would see them so I went with some big gates................

I love all the different patterns the cross bracing makes..........

Lets start with the perfect farm gate here..........swings well..........easy to open and close..........this one is a new gateway.......

pretty old gate way here..........unlatch the gate and you probably have to carry or drag it open..............

this one has seen better days and thankfully we never open it............this one you have to balance to keep it standing up or it may fall over on you............

this is the gate to the area where I let the chooks out to run..............we had to add the other gate to the top to make it a little higher when some of the chooks started flying over......

and here is a little chook gate to let them out for a pick.........

what do the gates look like at your place???

Paper!

2011-05-12T14:36:00.000+10:00

I have been thinking for a while now about this paper challenge, and remembered this morning the paper clip necklaces we made in primary school, so had a trip to Mums to see if she had them.

Of course Mum still has them! Also found a paper covered tin I made Dad for fathers day back when I was a Brownie! The old magazine underneath is an Australian Home journal dated July 1st, 1953

The paperclips are wrapped with colourful contact paper

Just couldn't resist a few quickly made newspaper roses and taking a pic with them amongst the Allysum!

I really enjoyed this challenge and my little trip down memory lane!!lol!

Moon

2011-01-22T22:05:00.004+11:00

Lots of photos here but I thought you might like to see Semaphore early in the morning.

It takes me about 10 minutes in the car to get to Semaphore it is a lovely beach and it is where I go to the butchers and green grocers and do my shopping.

This is where you will find me at dawn on Anzac Day.

at this time of year there are rides on the foreshore.

I like this one

The sun was well up before the moon set this morning.

You even get to see my shadow.

I liked this one ....no moon but the angel on the war memorial shines out.

sorry no moon just liked this one.

and these just put a smile on my face.
Boot Camp
I don't understand why on a hot morning you would go to the beach with a women who yells at you............................. and run up and down the sand.
The beach was beautiful this morning just perfect for walking and enjoying not running and sweating.
Don't you just love the one on the end trying to keep her pants up.

then to top it off you have to do push ups and get sand on your hands urrrrrrrrrrr

I think these 2 lads had just given up and died.

now they had to sit in the sand and do sit ups
it just isn't natural

I hope you enjoyed a visit to Semaphore to see the moon and the sun come up.

the challenges are back on track................

2011-01-20T20:40:00.000+11:00

This post is for your Leanne............and Jodie I know you do some moon snapping too.........

I was watching Oprah's Australia visit last night and forgot to turn on the hoses so I ran out to put the timers on and look what I found

the moon was rising...........a stunning full moon.........

it was down a bit further in the clouds when I first saw it............

and when I got up this morning at "sparrows fart" look what I found..............

the moon was setting straight out the front window............

so I grabbed my camera and raced out again with my new tripod I got for Christmas...........

I was having fun playing on my manual camera settings changing the F stop and the other number dial...........whatever it's called..........

all taken at the same time but look at the difference.........

going going............

gone.........

So he first challenge for the year is the moon...............

Catch you later..............

These pictures of the 'Jetty' are taken at our local beach...'Jubilee Beach'. This particular beach is on the Main street in Swansea Tassie, and where most of the tourists and locals go in summer for a swim...except me because I'm always worried that Jaws might be in the water!... lol! My boys also spend alot of time fishing off the end of the jetty and have caught many a fish!

Trucks (and Super Trucks)

2010-08-15T21:10:00.004+10:00

Warning, this is a VERY picture heavy post!

TRUCKS.....

I wasn't even going to try this challenge, but then I realised we would be spending the weekend at QR. That is Queensland Raceway for those of you uninitiated.

There are always heaps of trucks, transporters, new trucks, old trucks,' working' trucks, those that are just for show. what gets me is there always seems to be some blokes standing around looking at them. let's face it, they are just TRUCKS!

This next one made me chuckle.... a truck with a 'back deck' complete with lounge. Funny thing was, look closely, there is a guy reclining on the lounge. I didn't see him until I was looking through the camera view finder!

ok, now we move onto part 2 - SUPER TRUCKS! What makes a super truck, beats me. But they race them. Or they did this weekend.

Let me tell you watching trucks race is b.o.r.i.n.g. Just my opinion of course. And the smell! Tyre rubber, fuel, who knows what else. Not carbon neutral I can tell you.

But yet again, line 'em up and you get blokes standing around! I have cropped them out as much as possible.

Well done, if you have made it this far. Below is one 'in action', in situ shall we say, zooming 'round the track. See all that black stuff coming out the back...... not environmentally friendly at all. I'm just sayin'.......

Hello Everyone, My name is Jodie and I am a Snappy Friend! Although with my
lack of posting you may be forgiven for forgetting all about me.

I had a quick chat with the Chookster earlier this week and I assured her
that the camera had been out and I would download the pics later in the
week.

Well it is now later in the week!! I am SO FAR BEHIND with our challenges
that the ones I have missed aren't even on the side bar anymore! I do
remember Red was one and it is the one I have chosen to make my comeback
with.

We went up to the Big Smoke this past Sunday and walked along the riverside.
The pics above illustrate some of the redness that abound...............

My personal favourite is the last one. Inside a dark shed that splash of red amongst the white. I would like to have gotten closer to avoid the bike in the picture but there were lots of people about and I wasn't brazen enough to strut in there :)

Bees.............

"Machinery" to be precise farm machinery thru the times...........

Not the best photo but I snapped it quickly walking back in from taking the other photos...........

imagine sowing your crops with this.............would have taken some time and you needed a good horse...........

this one is also retired into my garden.............brought it at a clearing sale years ago.........DH cursed me getting this one home..........quite a challenge...........

and this is what he is sowing the crops with as we speak............

This weeks challenge was machinery a trip to the working side of the wharfs and this is what I came up with.
I expect it is a bit of machinery you would like to work well if the ship was going down.

I couldn't resist these 2.
I love the sinker some fisherman has lost on the pole.

We have been to the beach.

Photo Challenge - Hands

2010-03-20T10:41:00.002+11:00

I has such high hopes for this weeks Challenge... there are 4 generations of women in my family, starting with my Nan who has just turned 96 down to my younger daughter who is 5. Imagine if you will, a black and white photo of hands entwined, the age weary with the young. Unfortunately, the execution was lacking - it just didn't happen.

So instead a little fun. I told 'lil sis' I wanted to take a photo of her hands so she went of and readied them for me!

How old are you?

and you Miss Paradise?

Tried to get the dogs paws, thought that might be funny, but she wasn't prepared to play along. Enjoy your weekend........

Hello my fellow Snappy Friends!!!

Don't faint, but 'tis me!!

For the last two afternoons the rain has stopped, today there was almost a break in the clouds,

and some pelicans came to visit. 4 in fact, but this one was being ostracized by the other 3.

So I grabbed my trusty camera and snapped away, at........

THE SUNSET!!!!!

Just in time for this weeks challenge!

signs

2010-03-06T14:49:00.004+11:00

If you live in South Australia at the moment all you see is signs. It is a state election next Saturday and these horrid things blot the landscape where ever you look. I am so glad that this is the last election they are able hang these stupid signs.
I HATE THEM.

Over night 2 weeks ago every power pole, post or fence became covered in them.

I don't condone graffiti but this put a smile on my face the other day driving home from the shops.

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs

Blockin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

I loved that song.

This one also has a note just to the left of the Fordson logo......."push to choke - pull to run" there is a hand crank on the front to start it............love the shadows in the front grill too..........
