Misc 2023

Seen while out for a walk one afternoon.

We apologise to you for not being able to take your money. :-/ See PiP for context.

A GM Holden FE panel van (1956-1958) seen parked in Toowoomba. It appears to be a 'daily drive' and is on normal registration. February 2023. Mouse over for more views.

A yellow float plane, one of two, which flew over Toowoomba one Sunday afternoon. January 2023.

The pressure relief from our hot water tank drains into this used milk bottle. Around there is a creeper of unknown name. On this particular morning two flowers appeared through the handle hole. It was a pleasant and humorous surprise. March 2023.

A flower head and shoulders above its companions. April 2023.

This shows the two gum trees, 1 in my place and the other just over the back fence, and odd bird behaviour. There were many crows and many currawongs flying in and out of the tree. There were also at least 2 pee wees. They were calling loudly and continuously from around 7am until nearly 8am. I don't know why this was happening. It seemed some sort of confrontation. If that is correct it could be that the currawongs and pee wees which have both nested in these trees were wanting the crows to keep away. Suggestions welcome in the comments. April 2023.

An odd sign and fittings. Found on the outside of a toilet block in a park. May 2023.

Late autumn afternoon light in East Creek Park, Toowoomba. May 2023.

Honey bees have made a home in a tree. Seen at Queens Park Toowoomba during the Carnival of Flowers. September 2023.
