Podge the Dove chick hasn't even left the nest and they are sitting on 2 new eggs beside him. He is looking worried

Evie & Suzy

Things were not going well for me after my birth. Just couldn't walk unless I went in great big leaps. They were worried for my sanity. The vet put on a big splint and I am in a box where it is nice and soft. I am coming on in leaps and bounds now.
I am by American Ideal.

Castle Hill

Beautiful rock formations at Castle Hill on the way over to the Coast, would be nice to take the camera up there and get some shots. Its a bugger that there never seems to be any time will have to make some.

Elk Mums

The Mums are fussing round with the young fawns.They were very protective and were hiding them.They were so cute.

Elke

This would give you a head ach carrying these antlers round all day. It was pouring with rain but that doesn't show, they were magnificent beasts they are trophy heads for hunters.

Flat tac getting the lawn mowed before the rain. He could have slowed down no sign of rain here, but the lawn looked good.

Dolly

Another day and no blog photo am watching  the life of Dolly so it has to be her. Do like the country music.

Gravel Garden

My garden is a bit of a hand full. So on seeing this garden thought it would go well round here but guess the leaves would fall on the gravel and make a mess, but this looks great.

Cattle

Put the cattle into the horses paddock to eat down the grass they look very contented.

Dinner

 No wonder I felt over full as had on tray then this huge steak and sweets to follow.Took me 2 days to get over it.
