2 random photos from Scotland - a cheeky Robin who was having a swim in the bowl left for dogs at a National Trust garden near us and a herd of Belted Galloways near our place - left to right; Newcastle supporter, Collingwood supporter, Juventus supporter ..........

2 random photos from Australia, March this year. One day we woke up and Queen Mary 2 was berthed straight across from our place in Williamstown. Another day we were in Clunes (1st notable Victorian gold town) and this guy happened along with his team of horses, cart and dog. If the buildings look familiar you've maybe seen Heath Ledger's version of Ned Kelly.

Wow! Matching cows, how cute.

Native to our part of Scotland - everywhere a road sign with black cattle on it is placed some wag will come along and paint a white belt on it - Belted Galloways or 'Belties'. We've seen herds of them around Melbourne as well - big herd at Mt Macedon.

OMG saw that robin pic and instantly thought of hame - before I read it was pic of Scotland.

I love them.

A bit of our block back towards the house. A view from the top of our block that I'd never seen until a few weeks ago when I discovered our boundary was further back than I realised (only been here 9 years). Cabarita Lake NSW and the Tweed River NSW.

Is that cos you won't go up there due to possible critters?

Just rarely feel the need to go up there. If the was a view of the ocean I'd be up there all the time but contrary to the belief of a friend of the husband, there's a hill in the way.

Looks amazing!

There are parts of our garden I wouldn't have went near, but since putting the pool in, everything was pulled out, so much better. Reduces the nasty webs dramatically!

Just back from my daily walk...nearly tripped over this delightful creature..the Eastern Brown, worlds second deadliest snake..less than 1K from home and less than 8ks from Melbourne CBD

Almost bumped into these cuties when I came back my walk to pick the kids up from cubs. They wee right in front of me, when mum started to climb the tree. Baby was very inquisitive. I took quite a few pics but think this might be the clearest. I was close enough to touch them, but didn't of course

We had this visitor today. First Sulphur on our feeders in 9 years, I was very excited whilst hoping he doesn't come back with all his mates and distroy the place.

I was going up to a tennis meeting today and on the Dumfries and Galloway/Ayrshire border I took this shot of some 'Belties' with Loch Doon and a bit of snow on the hills in the distance. It was a pleasant 3 degrees at lunchtime!

Great photos everyone.

Ozzie close shave there bud. I noticed that there's a nice big gap between you and the snake. I've just shown my hubby your pic he couldn't belive it. He's been wanting to see a snake since we have been here. Strange man that he is.

Got to post this... Melbourne yoof...Me boy Anglo Aussie..His Greek Mate Ulee..(never seen a 6ft 5 Greek before) and his Aus/Chinese mate.....typical Melbourne Teens. Out on the town..wish I was 17.
