I don't have a proper zoom lens tho I did use the zoom function! I'm just lucky enuff that the Burras have gotten so used to me taking photos they will let me get fairly close to them. Next time I can afford to buy a camera I want one with a really powerful zoom!

Sunflowers

Sunflowers have been planted in a  front garden near my residence.

Check those Roofs!

Check Those Roofs!

Yes The TV and radio and Advocate and other media sources are all telling you to do it but it is important and it works!

Even if you don't live in a unit you might have friends who live near bushland who need the reminder or help?

What to do!

Check gutters and clear them.
You can use the build up muck on the garden for wet or dry mulch.

Check for cracks or holes in the roof that any burning material could get through.

Even if there's no fire hazard you've checked the roof and can fix it before some bird or possum gets into the roof.

Thinking it doesnt matter cos the bush is half a mile away?

If a fire ever breaks through into suburbia it will spread furhter because of fire hazards which brings me to

Wood piles. If you have one don't have it near the house and keep anything you have stored that could burn or explode dry materials chemicals in sealed containers or away from the house if possible.

Also check for any drains or debris buildups anywhere but mainly check those roofs.

Please!

Dramality in the Shire

Dramality in the Shire 

Recently there's been rather a fuss about a Dramality program soon to be filmed in Sutherland Shire.

However Sutherland isnt the only Shire in Sydney.

Hornsby has plenty of drama of its own.

Such as this afternoon's train derailment?!

However I'ld like to draw your attention to lighter dramas and local tragicomedies and melodrama.

THE ANGST of Beasts

An Opera starring Oscar a magnificent baritone and his famous aria

Why oh why oh why must I stay home alone guarding this yard unappreciated ....

Hornsby also has its  own  ongoing soap opera featuring the CWA versus the council

Then there's the mystery of who really owns that vacant lot that could have been the alternate route to access the building site for the pool renovation?


Dramality???

How about some ACTUAL journalism focusing on real life drama?

Now I must go web surf for news about the derailment since apparently news film crew have been diverted to the oh so  important task of giving people opportunities t make complete fools of themselves.

No wait we have American politicians who think a presidency is the award for a "I'm the least onbnoxious right wing Republican candidate competition' and mining millionaires who think the CIA are linked to the Greens.

Dramality?

It seems there's no escaping it! ?
