Catch the Train

The inspirational quote from Debbie at Travel with Intent

The only way of catching a train I ever discovered is to miss the train before.
– G.K. Chesterton

Make sure you get to the station early

Everyone will be rushing for their train

Always book a seat

Some trains go very fast

Yes, they go very fast

When you get to your destination, you can always catch one of these

In My Garden

Published on February 19, 2019February 21, 2019 by bushboy41 Comments

The Ragtag Daily Prompt for Tuesday: Garden

Have a quick wander about my garden.

Blue-banded Bees like dropping in

When the pink Crocus flowers the Stingless Native Bees all come around

One of the wheelbarrow gardens with Hippeastrums

The Frangipanni flowers scent fills the air

The Bromiliads flower too

One of my favourite flowers – Cats Whiskers

The Dietis look great buit trhey are taking over in places in the garden

One of the many Hibiscus flowers

The Agapanthus put on a show around the garden borders

The garden is a place to relax

Even Long-necked Tortoise stroll through heading to the dam

Every now and then when working in the garden, I surprise a frog. The Broad-palmed Frog took a while to wake before hopping off

Lots of Bottlebrush flowers

The Pelagoniums add colour

There is always help in the garden

So many Grevilleas too

The Native Wisteria winds its way among the foliage

Always wear gloves and shoes as you never know who you might disturb. The Mouse Spider was rather fiesty

The Bullants let you know if you are getting too close to their nest

Every now and then another variety of fungus appears

The garden is a lovely place to raise a family

The fruit trees look wonderful in Spring

and of course the garden is home to lots and lots of birds from the smallest Honeyeater, the Scarlet Honeyeater

to the larger birds like the Satin Bowerbirds

A Day in My Winter

The word prompt from Bren for the Photo for the Week – 28: Winter

My Winter is spent a lot of the time cutting Firewood. Quite often, when the chainsaw starts, a Pied Butcher Bird or two arrive to investigate the scene.
