Times in Quindalup and beyond

 Here's me and my Grandfather Geoff with his dog Sam back in the 70s. He had the first Subaru I knew about. Seemed like a very modern car at the time.

Here's another photo of Geoff. Out on a bush walk. Geoff and Margie traveled all over the outback, sharing with us the panoramic photo series' they took. My family would show them to locals from the villages on our boat trip in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. 

Spotted....another Celica!

 

I got this photo just as the lights changed;

Relax....I'm still online!

 Hi, I have taken up my Facebook and YouTube "cushion trophies" since they arrived (meaning these events are run). You can still keep up with what I'm doing on Twitter; https://twitter.com/MichaelDavidRu2

I am also maintaining a St Luke's  Church web-page where I sometimes feature;

Most recently I have linked to a Go skateboarding page for this year;

Last time at Plaza for a while?

 I am now attending Plaza roughly fortnightly and next fortnight is Good Friday. Hopefully, I can find some time during the school holiday week.

Canning River wetlands delivers

 A day later and Canning River wetlands delivers...

It all started with observing the local Jellies;

Before long...

...along came a Swan!

using my binocular with my mobile was tricky;

...but effective!

pretty snazzy eh?

after a while, it swam off again

I was back down Jackadder Lake Reserve Woodlands

 Back in Year 9 in Churchlands SHS I took this out at the lake for photography class;

It has a couple of photographic chemical effects including sepia and solarise I think.

Well, I was back down there and took a few more photos:

Corella's were there

some swamp hens

A pelican hung around while a "Darter" dried its wings?

some coots but no swans?

Bird watching in Bibra Lake

 Did not see too much at this spot near a golf course driving range;

Some pigeons and Hew Holland Honeyeaters, Corellas and (others?) did a flyover. A wattlebird was very chirpy nearby. Eventually, I got in trouble for loitering around with binoculars.

Usually, when out and about I can fall into my old bad habit of garbology. On the way home another rare sighting; A Toyota Celica!
