I have seen some amazingly moody skies here lately..they appear all gruff and angry and i taunt them…’come on give us your best shot’ ..but they are all bluff and no stuff!
When i get to the top of our road the view to the surrounding area is wonderful..you have the grey/blue of the gum trees and further in the distance the vivid green of pine plantations..even further still i can see the flat top of the mountains i think it is Mount Franklin..i must actually look it up!
So often i just stop the car and take some pics..if i am lucky i usually have the added bonus of the Ketchup Mob…which seems to be changing..a lot of young males and females many young females with joeys in pouch and only a few big boys..the really big boys have been absent..
They do go between all properties on our street and i think they are very generous to share their time with all of the neighbourhood.
We have one new house being built and i wonder what they think of that..the other block at the bottom of the street has sold and they are cleaning it up and doing a great job..a lot of work but we can see old fencing we have never seen before due to weeds and overgrowth..this too must make the roos wonder!
So the other day as we drove out i took a couple of snaps..the roos were a bit edgy and so we did not stay long.one young one in particular we have had to be super careful of as he seems to be very skittish and flies off in every which way ..always away from the others and with no real plan!
This one has us driving even more slowly down the street!
I decided to have get my own back on the sultry skies and really turned the picture into a moody one..
I hope you enjoy your day..i am off to bed..i have been test driving cars..and may have eaten something suss for lunch as my tummy is not a happy camper š and so i am pooped..literally…:) š
WOW……moody skies indeed……! Hope those clouds brought some rain….I know you need it and the roos would enjoy a nice shower I’m sure……….Love the photo with all the roos EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD…….. you could call this series of photos “Moody Skies and Curious Eyes”……..HAHAHA Nite Nite! Hope the tummy is better in the morning!
Hugs, Pam (and Sam)

True Bev and as a teacher myself I think the most important thing is to find out what the student wants. Last month I taught a chap to knit because he wanted something for his pregnant wife and his baby. He wanted a toy and he took away a toy. The main thing is to inspire not squash. ā¤ ā¤ ā¤

thanks for the roo photos…I am off to a “Safari Park” that is about four hours away to spend time with a bunch of roos. Evidently you can get pretty close to them, like the ones I saw in Sydney a few years ago…It’s a good thing too because I need to spend some time observing their faces and ears. It’s tough to know exactly what they are like from pictures.
