Is that a wee leprechaun I see?
Some of our Muscovy ducks (the ducklings joined them yesterday) :)
Our bamboo forest (some would call it a windbreak ;) )
A leprechaun house that fell out of a tree!
Our new Silkie rooster (Edgar Allen Poe) enjoying the company of his ladies (Snowy – the main gal, Vegemite, Henny Penny and Ms Eagle)
My newly established vege patch (tomatoes,oregano, basil, capsicum, eggplant, silver beet, chives, lettuce etc.,)
Note: balloon theme is just temporary while I muck about ;)
Love the new look, Gabrielle.
thanks Martin – I’m just experimenting but maybe I’ll keep this one (not sure yet) ;)
Nice look. But a new veg patch in Autumn? It’s all upside down over there ;-)
It is upside down – hahaha – Australia broke all heat records this summer and plants can burn in the heat of the day – we are in the subtropics and our autumn is probably like your summer – hahaha – a great time to plant veges (lots of sun and not much rain – we have bore water/ground water freely available) – in fact you can plant any time of year around here (though some times are better for some particular plants).
Lovely scenes.
We are also indulging in some planting – autumn is the idea time for some things.
It is :) I will be expecting some photos colonialist! thankyou
How can I comment on paradise? Each picture is to dream for. I love bamboos and specially the music of the wind in the leaves.
You do not need protection around your patch of delicious vegetables?
Thanks Ben :) Bamboo is wonderful and it does make some special music and magic – like the bamboo shoots are talking to each other. Nothing is eating my veges so far – maybe all the hares have drowned in the floods – there are no kangaroos here and I haven’t seen any possums – in Brisbane my vege patch would have been demolished by possums, but not around here – we will see and if there are problems I will get some netting ;) fingers crossed
Love the photos of your place…if I tried to have an uncaged garden, it would only served to feed the bunnies and squirrels. ;-)
Thanks Charles – not sure where all the bunnies have gone, but nothing is bothering my crop at the moment – maybe they were all flooded out of their warrens and have gone elsewhere – I haven’t seen the bandicoot around either – maybe there is just a lot of food elsewhere (that is not so close to a house) that they are hanging around.
It looks wonderful, Gabrielle. So much space! And I love your new bloggy look too. Makes me want to go to the theme shop and shop for a new dress too…
hahaha yes, it has been a long time since I changed themes – I might try a few out before I decide what to wear to the prom ;)
That vege patch looks mighty good Gabe!
I’m looking forward to eating it all Graham ;)
Oh, it is such beautiful country, and the superb pics really are transportive! gorgeous rainbow, the veggie garden, the land reaching out – it’s a piece of paradise! And Happy Happiness Day too! x
Hi darl :) Happy happiness day to you too tipota! You must come and visit Queensland – long way from Cape Cod but worth the trip – how’s those puddy tats going?
They are such funny little critters, I started a new blog about them – just in the beginning phase but when you have a chance, check them out! here
jumping over now tipota :)
lovely light in those photos!

thanks Juliet – my favourite time of day :)
What a wonderful place to be – like your veggie patch, Gabe. My dreamed-of-veggie patch is just a highly fertilised weed patch at the moment!
haha – mine might yet turn out just like yours – wish it would just not rain for a month or so – veggie patches always start out with so much promise, until a miriad of problems come along to give us a headache and a tendency to avoid said crop ;)
