Not food or flowers but purdy just the same

Thats a lovely pic chuck  

We get  West Aussie honey eaters .  A small bird. They're good to just sit and  watch, more entertaining than TV  . They arrive in numbers late in the afternoons mostly  , and   use their beaks and dig up the leaf litter around the garden. 

Because I'm in the wheatbelt, we often see assorted  birds eating the grain that comes out of trucks , machinery etc. onto the roads.  They eat so much they can't take off and  fly  cos their bellies are so full.

Cinnamon Rolls with cream cheese icing....so much Cinnamon sugar and butter that the bottoms have a bit of candy attached to the chewy soft bread.

i love watching them, they chase each other all day long. we have a few different species, mostly sparrows, but we have a set of hawks that live across the street in the neighbors pine tree. Deer strong arming the neighbor for apples lol.

@chuck123wapati I have to say I'm quite envious seeing those deer so close. 

All we get is a few bobbies  and a few monitors ( types of lizard) , and on rare occasions,  a roo hop across the paddock . 

One of the birds we get sings a lovely 'tune' of sorts  , instead of a 'chirp' . If I was to put a  type of genre  to it, it would be light jazz .

Man i have always wanted to see Australia, the outback looks a lot like the desert around here. we have a western  meadow lark here that makes a nice song they live near water usually so around the little ponds , rivers and lakes you can hear them sing all day long.

The lower half of Western Australia is green after good rains,  and at this time of year , the native trees start to flower, the Canola crops ( rapeseed)  are in full bloom , just a  blinding sea of yellow, ...and the O/S  tourists go onto farmers paddocks to take happy snaps, (like they've never seen yellow flowers before)  not realising they're actually trespassing . Some farmers are a bit touchy when it comes to bio security .    There are  notices for the O/S visitors in   various places to warn them  not to trespass on Canola crops  to take happy snaps  

But in a few weeks time, the flowers start to die off and then it starts to smell like rotten cabbage .

Had to take time off from the workshop today  to slash all the weeds around the garden . All was going well until....**crash** ,  my ride-on hit a rock   causing it to shoot a 3"  hole into my bedroom window ...   The glazier comes out next week .

My Dad does a bit of weeding on occasion,  but not fully cognisant as to where the weeds should go, like in a bin or a wheel barrow  ...including small rocks. Bless him.

Hope all is well in your universe 

Its been a while since I've been on this thread. All of the Canola crops are well & truly  in full bloom now. Just  blinding yellow everywhere you look. Its a stock pic, but you get the idea. 

Got the 'Grey Fergie' fired up ...yey !! A new battery , fresh fuel, a little bit of ' Start Ya Bastard' ( ether) and away she went.   Now to get the Big Boy (Fordson) started....still sitting idle . All the usual  property maintenance chores to be done this time of year . 

Almost cleaned up a kangaroo on Saturday on the way to a market. A red one too , only a few years old,  quite unusual  for down here. We get 'Western Grey's'  mostly. 

The fully grown red's can  potentially kill you.  Some are  the  Kangaroo equivalent of ' Arnold Schwarzenegger' , a condom full of walnuts  .  

My next foodie adventure is 'sweet & sour pork belly strips ' , can't wait

All is well fall is coming on now today was the first frost. We were given two pronghorn Antelope the other day they are delicious critters when taken care of properly. Taste like a goats butt if not lol. It wont be long now till snow flys here and our Elk hunting season will start in October. I have to get to work on my hunting truck and winterizing my house again. We have no real fall or spring it usually jumps from hotter than heck to freezing within a couple of weeks it seems. Thats a whole lot of yellow i'll bet its awesome at sunrise. i love sweet and sour one of my favorites is S&S Sage Grouse Its a local wild bird here that we also hunt.
