MY WORLD ~ 32 A Year of Blogging
Click to enlarge, they all like showing off!
To all the bloggers who come to call, I give you Roses!
Mr. and Mrs. Superb Blue Wren in my garden.
One year and 204 posts ago today my daughter pushed
me into the deep end of blogland. I coughed and spluttered
until I found my feet. Somehow my kite startd flying high
after I grasped the basics of enjoying my computer.
I am grateful for all the encouragement I have received
from my fellow bloggers, but more than that, for your
growing friendship during my learning curve.

Your expressions of sympathy and kind and caring thoughts
have helped me bear my recent loss. To all of you who cared,
a big, big hug and thank you.
Our cattle survived the drought although the calves
were tiny.
Blogging made me want to learn the basics on the computer.
Before, I only used it as a tool to do our rather complex
farm tax on, now I am enjoying it.
Blogging has given my photography extra purpose as I
photograph for particular memes, and learn to adjust light
and the shortcomings of my telephoto lens.
I have barely had time to scratch myself this year, so I
engaged Kip my Border Collie grand-dog to do it for me.
Blogging has re-awakened my writing from its hundred
year sleep, and even got me painting again.
An old Gumtree on the farm that I love very much.
Above all, I have met all you wonderful people I now call
friends, and am privilged to be invited to your homes for
an on-line cup of tea, a glass of wine or even a gala ball.

Through this means of communication the world has
shrunk and engendered much better communication
between individuals at least.
We are all born, live, love, work and die, no matter
what nation or belief system we prefer to belong to.
So let us love each other and the world we live in and
thus make it a bettter place for those who come after us.
The wonderful blue of Forget-me-nots.
To Klaus and the MY WORLD/SkyWatch team a big
thank you for all the help I have had from you this year.

SkyWatch ~ 36 The Weatherwatch Tree
Walk out of our carport and look towards the SW, on
the hillside stands a lone tree often featured in my sky
shots, behind it a line of trees of our small forest.
The tree appears small, yet is a mighty 200+ year old
River Redgum, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, having
weathered everything from drenching rains to droughts.
I hope it will stand proud for at least 200 years more.
A little weather rising from the south west
at first gently embracing the old tree, but, as it gathers
strength
its clouds almost obliterate the scene, swallowing
forest, hillside and tree to wrap it all in a wooly blanket.
If my skies are too cloudy, click on the Logo to see many others.
Thanks to Klaus and the ever diligent Skywatch team, we
can all enjoy this wonderful meme.
