Alice - Through the Looking Glass (Window)

... (with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

These are the views I could see through my kitchen window this morning - actually, they were taken whilst standing just outside the window rather than have a flywire mesh across all the photos.

A Very Formal Purple Giraffe

Tanya in her recent blog mentioned that one of her favourite colours is teal green, but with reservations about her Year 10 Formal dress. Naturally, that gave me the idea to post a photo of her on that big night in 1987. I thought she looked lovely, although this is not a good copy of the photo. She agreed to me posting the photo on condition that it was so tiny that no-one could see it, but I know that you will all avert your eyes and not look at this one ...lol.

Show Time

Bungendore is a small town of about 2000 people some 20 minutes drive from Canberra. Today was Show Day. For such a small place they put on an excellent show featuring alpacas, cattle, dogs, rabbits, horses, goats, poultry, snakes, sheep, a farmyard nursery, craft and produce, including vegetables, cakes & biscuits, and beer. There was the usual collection of sideshows, stalls, and fun for the kids. Whilst the number of entries was relative to the population, the quality was very good. Congratulations, Bungendore.

Clouds

One of the joys of living in the country or close to it is being able to 'steal' the landscape, clouds and all. I know that urban dwellers appreciate clouds too but sometimes there are too many surrounding buildings to be able to 'incorporate' them into their garden vista.
