Rooster

Click & Steal 782kb rooster snapshot

My hens think the man of the yard is a real spunk. He often is scratching around in the dirt and calling the hens over when he finds a tidbit for them to eat. As much as the hens will crowd around me to see what I have on offer for them in the way of food this rooster finds it unbefitting to do the same and keeps his distance or maybe he sees me as a threat that will take his 'girls' away from him!

Hot off the Press!

Click to steal 514kb mob of sheep snapshot

As a farmers wife, one of my jobs is a taxi driver for the men when moving farm machinery from one area on the farm to the next. As it is a dewy morning I grabbed my camera knowing that there would be light bouncing back up off the dampness with the possibility of good colours.

This is the paddock that my husband Malcolm and our son Shaun will be sowing today. Because the drought last season did not produce well, the men are direct drilling the seed straight into the ground. This will save unnecessary stress on the soil plus save cost to us as farmers. The paddock was sprayed yesterday to kill the weeds to make sure they do not survive and compete with this seasons crop.

Looking into a different direction you can see this part of the paddock is very green. Malcolm is filling up the combine ready for Shaun to sow the paddock. While dad is busy doing his job, Shaun is busy checking out the machinery to make sure everything is in order for the days job.

The Gwydir Highway

Click and steal a 444kb snapshot

Ok onwards bound with my NSW holiday snapshots with Coffs Habour now left behind. If you are new to this blog and wonder what this holiday is about all you need to do is click on the NSW holiday Label at the bottom of this post or in the side bar.

This image was taken from the Gwydir Highway between Grafton and Glen Innes. The vegetation is so thick that there isn't always an opportunity to see right out over the landscape. Another reason was when there are good views, there are no safe areas to pull over on the side of the road.

The main reason for posting this snapshot is to show you how high we actually traveled without actually flying. wink
