Flower #fmy52weeksofmemories



I always throw the camera in the car when I go to Pelican Point. There's so much to take photos of, like flowers on the side of the road. Only me.

I actually pulled over to take photos of the blue bath in the stockyards a Bobby Duck Hole. I couldn't get quite close enough, because long grass and barbed wire. I did try to climb up on the rails. Freaked myself out a bit when I saw a brown snake crossing the road about 100 metres up the road, after I left. Not the best place to be rummaging around with longish grass and thongs!

There is an old blue tractor just up the road I wouldn't mind taking some photos of too. I just have to pluck up the courage to ask the farmer if I can go out in his paddock, hoping the big cows don't come anywhere near me!

On to a different sort of flowers, my two little flowers. Who, turns out, and big fat tomboys! Husband couldn't help himself but to buy Izzy a motorised go kart, even after I thought of just about every excuse as why they didn't need one.

Izzy loves it, and Summer loves riding with her dad. The kids next door love having a turn with him too.

We went to Pelican Point over the weekend with friends and it had a run on the beach. It was a beautiful day down there.







I got swag

I am really enjoying doing the 'My place in time' photo project. I wish I had more time to cruise around taking awesome photos of my local area. 

When Izzy starts pre-entry kindy this final school term, I will have three hours on a Wednesday, when me and Summer can just amble about town, her strapped firmly in a pram of course. I can start doing a few more things I want to do, and lord knows next year when she starts full time kindy, I will be looking for things to keep me busy. 

Anyhoo, back to the 'I got swag' bizzo. 

Yesterday I posted 'A river view', and this first photo.

I didn't even notice it when I walked up and took the photo, it wasn't until I was walking back towards the car, it caught my eye. It kinda freaked me out a bit, seeing something familiar laying under a tree by the side of the road.

It had a few ants running over it, well several, and a few bugs. I tossed it in the boot and drove home.

The kids slept on the way home and I left them in there while I sorted out the swag, and sorted out all the sandy stuff from a day at the beach.

I armed myself with a can of bug spray and went about unrolling it. Let's just say spider central, 1 big black one and lots of little ones, I must have looked like a crazy lady trying to do whack-a-mole with my feet. It wasn't quite as bad as it sounds. I opened up the inside just a bit and gave it a good spray inside, much to my surprise the inside was clean and tidy with no bugs whatsoever. 

My guess is it belonged to a younger person and it must have been here for at least three months, maybe six.

I'd scored myself a good single swag. Not that I'll be sleeping outdoors any time soon, but the kids will get some use out of it hopefully when they are a bit older.
