Couch Time

Morning chores out of the way, so it must be couch time!

I left Kiki at home for ONE day... ok it was only the second day we'd had her.... but during that day she turned to the dark side!  And once again my dog has become his dog!!  LOL!!  And yes, now that you mention it, that is my cat on his lap too!

Kiki

The newest member of our household arrived today, please meet Kiki.  A clever little puppy who has wormed her way into our hearts in nano seconds.  She's already 'sitting' and has figured out the fastest way to be brought in out of the cold is to have a pee lickety split!!  She's sorted out where the dining table is, and thus the best place to sit at meal time is directly underneath the chair/s of the messiest eaters - she's a real little vacuum cleaner and is pretty much perfect - just ask me!!

The cats are not impressed, but luckily they'll get over it ;-D

Buyer resistance nil!  She's a little star, hopefully short coat and 'open' ears will mean no grass seed problems.

This pic is for Freya, who wanted to see Dad's first reaction to  Kiki, he has a migraine, so no flash and a blurry photo, but I think you get the gist Fraz :)  They are currently 'watching' TV and simultaneously 'resting' their eyes!  LOL!!

Softens the blow of losing Loli, she cant be replaced, but Kiki will make life happier :)

Wandering Ducks

I guess it had to happen, the ducks wandered far enough from the pen yesterday to find the water trough.  They looked like they were trying out for a Guiness Book of Records attempt!

From the house I knew they'd found it, even though I cant see it, by the splashing!

Coldest Morning So Far!

Very chilly out there this morning, brrrrrr

Had to break the ice on the water trough, it was about 10mm thick and took quite some effort!

Black Narcissus with frost on her back and ears, and you can see frost on little Freddie's back too.

Tina with Good Heavens Gwendolyn on this cold morning, ice on the ground in front of Tina.  And even before I broke it up and gave them fresh water GHG was skating around, looking happy as a lark.  She is certainly made of stern stuff!

A Trip into Town

Yesterday I headed off into Boorowa, camera in hand!  Its a sleepy little town, power lines and footpath mending all making for pretty ordinary streetscape.

Boorowa Hotel, with its lovely iron work verandah, not sure I would have chosen the same style for the 'Meals and Accommodation' sign, but luckily they didnt ask me ;-D

Victims of the drought.

The road off to the right is quite steep.... apparently.

At this time of the year the 'insert proper name here' gums are shedding their bark and revealing fantastic orange trunks.

This orderly procession of sheep looked like a good shot, so I stopped... and so did they!  Those bringing up the rear decided I was quite frightening, so they bolted!!

A Photo a Day!

And then days went past, and I was so busy working that I didnt take any photos, the 365 Day project will plainly require a step up in discipline!

And today its bucketing down... what will I photograph on days like this?  Stuff inside?  Through the windows?  The cats?  What do you mean I cant just take 365 pics of my animals/birds?

The 365 Day Project

Thought I might start a 365 day project... so having a warm up this month in prep for next ;-D
