Two and a half hours to get these shots

PINNED

Splendid Fairy Wrens are forever flitting here and there. Never being still for more than two or three seconds. Then the camera has to be pointed at them, focussed on them and the shot taken before the little blighters are out of shot. I set my...

No wonder the movie Jaws had a lasting effect on me.

Released in 1975 - I was 13 when I saw it. To this day I never go in the ocean where I can not see the bottom. I imagine a shark coming up from the depths and engulfing me.

ABC (Australia) news reader stated the "Green Comet" will pass within 42 kms of Earth

She should have said 42 million kms 😄

Something that has always concerned me about Koalas

Koalas are nocturnal. Yet when they are in zoos/wildlife parks they seem to be at the publics beck and call. Patrons want a selfie with one, so are we, the public, encroaching too much on the Koalas?

Hot cross buns on supermarket shelves

Grrrr Another too hot day on the way

Some Plants facts

The Elephant grass found in Africa is named so as it is 4.5 meters high and even elephants can hide in it. Eating lots of onions will make you sleepy, as it acts as a sedative. Vanilla flavouring comes from the pod of an orchid, Vanilla planifolia....

More out of control police officers kill and unarmed man

Looking at the video, I count at least 9 officers, maybe 10. 2 of the people at the scene may have been fire department employees? 5 officers have been charged with murder, 4 of them released on bail? Why is there always so many law enforcement...

Gusman's Song of the Day

Joni introduces the song this way at the White Swan in Leicester, England on September 16, 1967 "This is a song that talks about sides to things. In most cases there are both sides to things and in a lot of cases there are more than just both. His...

We are getting closer to doomsday

An asteroid the size of a delivery truck will whip past Earth on Friday morning, one of the closest such encounters ever recorded. The space agency said on Wednesday that the newly discovered asteroid would make its closest approach on Friday at...

Well I was foolish just now

I rearranged my bedroom, placed the head of my bed against the wall 90 degrees to the original. My room is totally dark - no electric clock for light. Rising just now at 2am, forgotten that the layout was different, I never turned on the bedside...

Gusman's Song of the Day

Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman - Stumblin' In

Precipitous does not mean Rainy

Precipitous means Steep or Sudden Precipitation means any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. 🙂

Checking out a new bed

What a chore. Prices are for Bed bases only, add new mattress, add delivery fee. Why make it so difficult? Of course the one I chose is not in stock. There is an Australian made Sealy Posturepedic Crown Jewel Epernay Mattress & Base - Double size...

Friday tomorrow? No? Thursday tomorrow?

Well, for me it is effectively Friday, with Australia Day holiday the morrow, my boss has given everyone the next day off as well (paid). So by knock off the morrow, my weekend begins.
