Old Owl's photos

A Happy Fence Friday to one and all. I hope your day and your weekend bring you joy. This is the new Old Bridge over the estuary between Mandurah and Hall's Head. It has a delightful gentle curve that is a joy to walk across. This bridge replaced the old Old Bridge some five years ago because the timber piles of that structure were no longer safe for the increasing amount of traffic. It was a sad but necessary change.

May I wish you a Happy First Wednesday Wall of 2025. I hope your minutes, your hours, your days, your months and your year are all you hope and work for. Keep the good memories of last year and wash all the bad things out of your hair. To quote D:Ream from 1993, "Things Can Only Get Better" (especially for mushrooms).

May I wish a fine and a Happy Bench Monday to all, the final one of 2024. Have a grand week, an enjoyable New Year's Eve and a gentle, peaceful start to 2025 - pirates notwithstanding. Yo ho ho, me hearties.

On Christmas morning Santa retires to bed for a hard-earned rest and waves goodbye to the world for another year. Quite what the snowman is doing here in Western Australia is anybody's guess, although it was a cold 16°C when this was taken at 7a.m. ... Maybe he was just being hopeful.

HFF to all. I hope your day and weekend are pleasant and relaxing after the recent festivities.

Accomplished –
 MERRY CHRISTMAS! (Poem written by U.A. Fanthorpe)

HWW to all. And a Merry Christmas too. (Or Hanukkah, or solstice, or whatever holiday you follow.)

A Happy Fence Friday to everyone. May your days (and weekends and December) be merry and bright. This is a fibro fence, very common throughout WA (and probably all of rural and suburban Australia too). Simple, plain and functional; what more could we ask of a fence.
