F111

The son went to two press days at Amberley Air Force Base...... over two different weeks.
This was   to see this planes last days before it was  decommissioned

 He has 100000000000000 photos but i will include only a few !!

This is  plane much admired by  and its replacement is apparently a sad day. 

I love to watch jets myself so can part understand the obsession

Warming  up ready to fly

taking off

 7 in formation

Dump and burn

More dump and burn but with some bonus flame left behind

vapour coming off the planes

love this criss cross effect of the vapour

the pointy front end of one of them

   the back of one of them

   full size plane

a row of some of them

the wheels of one of them

Some Soap

  Scentworks duplicate of Rice Flower and Shea (feminine and powdery ...ummm)

Provence

 Yuzu (japanese grapefruit)

lavender

in the driveway

a new baby tree with lots of pretty flowers at the park ....... and some grown up ones

the photos are all a bit less than wonderful as it was poor light.
however there were lots of tree trunks shedding interesting bark.
lots of burned out trunks from fires a few years ago.

a pretty flower that is a noxious weed in most of the state.

has several names but i know it as "Pattersons Curse"

ant nest looks like it is ready for rain

the last bottle brush flower i could find anywhere....

and it is only part of a flower anyway

even the jacaranda wasnt that good

we have had a lot of rain and it seems to 

have made a lot of flower loss and foliage growth instead

dog off to the park

a walk to the school and some old friends met

i cant resist photographing these as they always look great

we have not seen these two other dogs for a very long time

Milly the border collie has only 3 legs

these are just low light pics i wanted to try.. 

and this lamp appealed to me

as a subject

a sliver of moon and the evening star as we got home
