Brisbane gardens and donkeys and a.sad goodbye.

I have not written much in the last couple of weeks I have a houseguest for a couple of months maybe 6 not sure yet and Barb's mum passed away last week, she was 101 and a very lovely lady she passed away quitely in her sleep surrounded by her family and at home the way she wanted to go, rest in peace Mavis. She was truly loved by all who knew her .

The Brisbane gardens a wonderful place very lush and green.........................

The son and daughter in law checking out the bamboo.

A lot of cool and restful pictures.

Guess what is in this water, not so restful now.

Look closely.

Can you see it.

It's a croc, can you see the eyes., in a city park not expected at all.

After the real thing I'm glad these are carved in a rock.

Lots and lots of bonzi they look like they are having a bad time to me but I too find the shapes fascinating.

Waterfalls are working here

They do cool it down a lot

A tree full of figs and wasps.

Just down the road from my sons place is a field with donkeys a lot of people stop and feed them we gave them carrots.

I even got a pat in

They are very friendly.

A walk along Duck Creek, a winter storm and a new path.

Barb and her hubby came over on Tuesday so we went for a walk along Duck Creek she took lots of pictures and I took a few her are always better than mine. 

 Our local creek, it's pretty down here when kept clean  once it was a dumping ground for all sorts of things but they have a team of people who clean it up a couple times a year so much better than it was. 

 But we did find clothes in a tangled mess not sure if someone was living here or this was a bag of stuff dumped here.

 I like these bull rushers but the do slow the flow down and I think the flow is pretty slow to start with.

 A outlet drain from somewhere maybe  storm water.

 Wild orange sky lots of thunder and lighting and maybe 10 drops of rain but it looked like we would get a downpour.

 I put cement blocks down for my path the wood just rotted away.

 Angus is always checking out anything you are doing not very helpful but often in the way.

 This was the wood all crumbled away, it was treated pine so white ants don't eat it but it still rots away if wet for long.

 At least the cement won't rot.

 My assistant is taking a his smoko as he doesn't smoke sleeping in the sun is prefered.

 The last of the compost bins are gone

 Just bits of wood now

 And it's getting dark so I'm heading inside.

 Cold here at night.

 Thats all for now.
