A Happy Wednesday Wall to everyone. I hope your week has been good so far, and that the rest of it is even better. Cling to moments of joy in this uncertain world. (I'm not 100% sure whether this picture qualifies for a "wall" group. Dear HWW Administrators, if you decide this is not wall-ish enough for the group, please feel free to remove it. I won’t feel offended, honestly.)

Have a Tremendously Terrific Table Tuesday. Take care of yourself and others. This table is at the Hairy Marron Cafe in Margaret River. The hairy marron is a critically endangered freshwater crayfish which only exists in a small stretch of the Margaret River, a small stretch which is kept as secret as possible. Fishing for Smooth Marron is severely restricted in this area to try and protect the hairy variety.

Oceanic Bar + Grill. Early morning. Cleaned and ready. A Happy Tuesday Table to all. These tables are great to sit at as you watch the boats in the Mandurah marina whilst you eat and drink.

HBM to all. May your bottoms rest on comfortable benches and your day be calm and gentle. This is in the Wheatbelt town of Dowerin in WA. There are a number of benches along the main street, all of which are bright red. Note also the tin dog on the wall to the right. Again a number of dogs appear throughout the town, most of them with a front paw extended. This is Tin Dog country, named after Tin Dog Creek just outside the town where, according to folklore, miners on their trek from Perth to the Kalgoorlie goldfields (about 600 km) stopped to camp and eat on their journey, and where they left their empty corned beef tins. Just outside the town is a large statue of a tin dog ("Rusty") designed and built by students from the local high school in 2004. UPDATE WITH PiPs Three PiPs are in the top left edge of this picture: the first is of Rusty; the second is of Rosey, created in 2020 as a female companion for Rusty; the third is a tin dog affixed to a litter bin and doing what dogs do to such structures. These pictures were taken by She Who Must Be Obeyed and I give her much thanks for her permission to use them. Many thanks, too, to the delightful and caring Ecobird for helping me by telling me how to add PiPs. This was most necessary for I am an owl of very little brain ...

A Happy Final Fence Friday of 2022 to everyone. I hope your day, your New Year celebrations and the entirety of 2023 are pleasant, joyful and far, far better than 2022 seemed to be. Love to all. This is one of the many canals in Mandurah, along which Madame Much Younger Owl and myself march briskly each morning early for our daily exercise and for the delight of seeing dolphins, swans, herons, egrets, ducks, terns, seagulls, other walkers (old and young) and their dogs. Life is good, innit. Press Z to biggen it up.

Stirling Terrace market, Albany, WA. Have a safe and happy Fence Friday everyone.
