MY WORLD ~ 1st Stopover on our Magic Carpet Ride

This little critter, a sleepy lizard, kept us company at breakfast
next morning. This photo was going to be no.4 but refused to be
moved to its proper place . . . ah, the joy of computers . . .

Up beyond the green, green farm lands the country dries off

showing up the red soil and and half a dozen emus.

The open road and the first suggestion of the Flinders Ranges

in the distance.

We arrive in Hawker for our first stop at this charming cottage

owned by our friends and almost neighbours who flew up with

their three dogs solely to cook dinner for us and bed us down in

luxurious comfort for the night.

Now that is friendship for you!!

Glorious view from the outdoor dining room at sunrise.

The watchers, well, one anyway.

One of them actually enjoys flying and attentively looks out

the window all the way.

Dust proofing our luggage and off to the next adventure.

All photos enlarge for better viewing.

To be continued . . .

Thanks to the MY WORLD Team for giving us the opportunityto

share our world and view that of others.

MY WORLD ~ 38 A Country Idyll

Although it is still winter and not spring, flowers
bloom and lambs are arriving



sheep gaze out from behind the boles of the trees



and gracefully graze on the grass that is green



deigning to glance at me as I pass.



Across the road a change of scene, what goes up

soon comes down as well

the race for the meals on wheels gathers pace

a perfect time to check on the herd and newborn calf

while the dogs are marching homeward bound after

checking the boundaries all around.

All pictures like being enlarged, so do the animals!

MY WORLD ~ 7 Some Animals on the Farm

Please scroll down for TODAY'S FLOWERS

My computer has been out of commission for
few days so this is not what I promised which,
God willing, will follow next week.

I give you instead some of my 'grand' animals
on the farm.

One of a number in the chook yard, this one was
so fluffed up and broody it was kind of cute



the grandchildrens' bunnies, there are 6 in all




A clutch of ducklings from the farmers' market
acquired last week



two of the 5 horses my daughter and two grand-
daughters have



The old dog Kip and her new friend Rex

Our grandson's dog Rex with flyaway ear
turning like a stock horse on a sixpenny bit

This is but a small selection of the animals in my world.
I hope you have enjoyed them a little.

My thanks to the SkyWatch/My World team for giving

us this opportunity to show something of what we hold

dear.
