Remembering Benny

Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Pets or stuffed animals

Benny the cat, also known as the Jackadgery Panther was quite a formidable character. He has been seen chasing dogs up the driveway off the property. Not small dogs a German Shepherd, a Cattle Dog as well as smaller ones have all felt the sting of a claw.

Old Geoff my neighbour would come visiting and his dog, Callum,who went everywhere with Geoff, would walk with him as far as the front gate and then would turn around and go home. If Geoff drove, Callum would stay in the car.

I came home from work one day and found Benny asleep on the chair with his stuffed dog which he would move around the house as he felt. Yes fierce Benny did have a soft side. Benny has been gone for a few years now. So this fits both prompts, pets and stuffed animals.

It’s a date

A new photo challenge I found at Cee’s

I was walking around the nearest town to my place, Grafton, while waiting for my car repair. I have been taking photos of the tops of the buildings where there is a date of construction.
One of the oldest buildings is the Post Office. Constructed of sandstone it is quite a lovely building. I looked and looked and knew there must be a date on the front of the building somewhere.

It took a while but then I noticed on one part on the right hand side of a middle section

and the other part on the right hand side

Quite an imaginative architect and brilliant stonemason.
