Breakfast is served Discovered this girl in our garden yesterday, a Garden Orb Weaver. She likes to take a risk as she was in her web until almost lunch time. They are normally out only in the dark and hide in a nearby bush during the day so they don't get eaten by a bird. This is the spider...

Spider An Elongated Longtailed St,Andrews Cross spider. Only a small spider, about 30-40mm long. I watched her for a few weeks in our garden and suddenly, one day she and her web disappeared. I think a bird might have got her. Sadly, due to the position she was in, in the bush, I coudn't get to...

On Target I was a member of the Adelaide Archery Club for 40 years, had to retire last year due to my rotten spine. I hadn't been able to shoot for 20 years anyway. This pic was taken 12 years ago. A lot of really bad shots looking at all the holes way out from the gold but these targets are...

New wheelchair Well, it's taken about 2 years of searching, disappointments and frustration (no support of any kind) and $3,550 but Thursday I picked up my new chair. Made in Canada and very well made. Took about 3 months from the time I ordered it until I picked it up. Being over 65, I didn't...

Red Wattlebird One of my favourite birds but rarely seen around our gardens..this one did visit though. I'm not worried they don't visit much as they tend to disrupt my macro photography of insects...this guy already has two Mantis in his beak...

Hibiscus My favourite Hibiscus...we have eight bushes with different colours but I like this one the best...

Anthem Does anyone remember the Song Of Australia..? I remember when I was in primary school we sang it as the national anthem just after we sand God Save The Queen and I for one could never understand why it wasn't kept as our national anthem...I like it much better then what we have now and...

Out of the ordinary..? We have these Aggies coming up in our garden. I've never seen any this high before, is this an uncommon thing? That fence is about 6' 4" high so despite still growing, they are both about 6'+ high at this stage. The last pic shows the ones we normally have and they are...
