The venue for Dad's 99th birthday lunch

Probably because of the annoying photographer :-) TSC Visual pun

Lake Cooroibah on the Noosa River in Queensland. Cruise on the M V Noosa Queen.

This was my best photo on 7th May, of my husband Ian. 50mm resized, otherwise SOOC. TSC 7th May Take a picture of what you are doing on this day, whether it be working, ironing, shopping, walking the dog, staying in bed, visiting friends/family etc etc.

TSC The Future~ share an image which represents the potential of things to come. The Moon, taken Friday 13th May 2016, 8.26pm, in Queensland, Australia. Cropped, but otherwise no editing. Archive shot in comments which is a manipulated image created 19th March 2016 :-)

Flat Stanley is admiring the green and rolling hills of the Noosa Hinterland in Queensland. Flat Stanley has just arrived in Australia from my cousin Maia in England. It is Maia's school project, and I will be taking photos of Flat Stanley's holiday in Australia, and then sending him back to her. Flat Stanley is a 1964 children's book written by Jeff Brown. Today we were spray painting the places for fencing posts for the post hole digger.

On Friday night the dogs were going crazy. I let them out of the laundry door and they wouldn’t stop barking. It was dark but I noticed a strange shape, so we investigated and there was a python eating a possum. The possum had a baby which was clinging to it. I tried to distract the python while Ian rescued the baby possum using a plastic long handled rake. It was really tiny and squeaking. We wrapped it in a towel and Ian sat in the dark keeping it warm until the rescue people arrived 9.30pm. They also took the python away thank goodness. Unfortunately Mum possum couldn’t be saved. Sunday morning Angus, our Westie, was in the same area and wouldn’t come back indoors. I investigated and discovered another possum. It was alive thank goodness. We wrapped it in a towel, kept it warm, gave it a little lactose free milk and took it right away to the RSPCA Wildlife rehabilitation centre in Eumundi. The girls there said that Percy Possum was doing well and had been actively feeding, so now Penny Possum has joined her brother :- ) The python was about 8 foot long. We saw a python a few months ago passing through along the garden fence, and a discarded snake skin recently, so knew it was around but didn’t dream this would happen. Not a very good photo as it was low light and I didn't want to upset Penny Possum:-) She is about 4 inches long, not including her tail. TSC Dim light
