Here in the land of water shortages, red dust and willly willys . .on verandahs we sit, listening to crickets and cane toads and watch sunsets and the sugar cane burn . . . Of course I'm lying I live in the suburbs of Sydney and whilst it's quiet the only sign of moisture on most occasions is frogs, drips on the tin roof and the sound of sweat seeping down my cleavage. Actually recent rain has been a Godsend and the world is filled with 'green'.
We still can't water our lawns or wash our cars with a hose . . but until I actually went through my Flickr account I didn't realise how much green there actually is around here. And if anyone has some spare time this weekend, I could do with some help mowing and whipper snipping . . .
A welcome sunshower on a balmy summer evening
New Years eve fireworks in emerald green . . .
Latrine door graffiti'd by inmates at Melbourne Gaol
Huge cactussy thing at Mt Tomah Botanic Gardens . . reminded me of the perfection of a nautilus shell . . .
Ocky . . former lead singer for Aktor . . the job's open if anyone's interested. Taken at Home Bar in Darling Harbour
Where there's a dark, moist corner . .greenery survives and thrives. Bella Vista Farmhouse . .

ReplyDeleteLike those fireworks but dinnae think I've ever seen that much writing on a loo door; gaol or other-wise, wot?
Great pics. That the best cactus thing I've ever seen!!!
ReplyDeleteIts extra green here in Bris - we've had torrential rain for last week. Over it now!
Enjoy your weekend :-)
Spill, Baino... what were you in gaol for? Was that your phone number scratched into the door?
ReplyDeleteI love each and every one of your picture. You have a great green collection. They are all amazing. If I have to choose a favorite I choose the last one but the firework is grand too.
ReplyDeletegood stuff, baino... buns of steel is great! ;) lol

Nice collection of green, Baino. I wonder if they let you name unknown cactus-y things in the botanic gardens? You could name this one the Fibonacci Cactus.
ReplyDeleteThat sunshower is positively Eden-like.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, that is an ass worth wishing for.
How did you upload your voice there? I am asking it because I was donating my blood for healthcare and my hand hurts now so it is not pleasant to type. Moreover it is fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant take on the theme, green photos! The pic of the sun shower is amazingly atmospheric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of green pictures, my favorite being the first one. Breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteIs that even a woman???
ReplyDeleteThat top photo is gorgeous! (Looks like something out of Avatar.)
ReplyDeleteI love the succulent plants. That's a great shot as well (the cactus).
What's a willy willy? (just asking).

Great shots as always, Baino
ReplyDeleteWould love to help you with your mowing and snipping but I'm a bit low on energy reserves at the moment.
Now, I'm off to tell Grannymar I've found her an outfit for Paddy's Day!
you got some skills! Always great pics. Wish i could figure out how to take action shots...it's all a blur with me.
ReplyDeleteDid I read something about frogs licking the sweat from you cleavage? Maybe I better put my glasses on and re-read this post:-)
ReplyDeletegreat pics...
ReplyDeleteI love green....wish I had some pretty green in my wallet! Top pics Baino....
ReplyDeleteLove to help you mow, but alas, same problem here!
Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are green. does that count?
ReplyDeleteYou take a mighty fine set of photos, but surely there was a bloke doing the butt-wiggling thing as well - or was he wearing red?
Great greens! That top photo is smashing, I love it. Glad I'm not standing in it LOL
ReplyDeletegreat shots--I am taking the last one and planting it on the refrigerator door--I can dream can't I?? happy tt
ReplyDeleteTip top post for green. Happy TT
ReplyDeleteEvery photo better than the last!
ReplyDelete(BTW I proposed straw for the April color ;-)
Tsup*!* I love our sun shower days, so true when you look back over photos and compare how brown we were just a few short months ago even if the grass and weeds are bursting out of the earth I'd sooner be standing in a puddle than a crack*!*
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of green down here in Tassie, and I'm not talking about the tourists.
ReplyDeleteI most certainly do wish my ass looked like that; not to mention the rest of me.
ReplyDeleteI love the green fronds in the corner of the log cabin, and the green cactusy thing is amazing.
You can be a member of the committee any time. Ask away!
ReplyDeleteshake a that ass - damn it I even wish my ass looked like that
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there to look at the first picture. Now for the last picture – I don’t wish to look at it – I wish I had a derrière like that!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture of the rain... fantastic. Wish I could take photos as good as these.
ReplyDeleteWe have relos who have had to temporarily relocate to Sydney - raining all the time is what we here.
We've had the first rain in about 6 weeks here in Adelaide. Everything is brown and dry. Time for a drink.
I love the sun shower and can feel the freshness from here!
ReplyDeleteJUST getting around to TT readings today...way too busy at work to do this hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are fun, varied and really nice. You must have rec'd alot of funny comments on the very last photo. hahaha! (yes, too big of a hurry to read all the comments today too)
LOVE the sunshower photo
ReplyDeleteword verifn. is hotoing - that must mean something somewhere, right?

ReplyDeleteLove the rain pic at the top.
