Sunset over the Island

This little island is out my dining room window at the shack.  It also has a blinking light on it that comes on at night so that boats don't run into it.

Red Lighthouse

This little red lighthouse adorns a house at O'possom Bay. The houses are built right on the beach and they are crammed in. It worries me how the sewerage is dealt with there, hope it doesn't run into the Derwent River.

Eggs Galore

I didn't take this picture but I really liked it, so decided to add it as this day's contribution. The variety of colours in the eggs are just so beautiful. They really appealed to me. Unfortunately I don't know the photographer, it was on my facebook page.

Woe is Me!

I found this little chap in my garden and he presented some questions to me. Was he whittled by a past tennant of the house that used to be on this block, why is he so sad looking, did that reflect the feelings of the person who carved him?  Who is AB? These initials are carved on the reverse side? I thought he deserved to be up out of the dirt and placed him in the fork of the old walnut tree.

Living on a river, quite a bit of traffic passes by. These two went down the river the day before and here they are returning upstream. The tugs remind me of my late father who was a tug master and I remember one day when he sailed the tug passed my house he put on his hooter to let me know he was there, BUT it got stuck and I can still recall how funny it was listening to him go way down river off into the distance still hooting away.
