Probably the  most artistic one? I think the florist must have seen the stone color of the memorial?

Iron Man 3 at the Hornsby Odeon

So who hasn't seen Iron Man 3 over the Long Weekend?

Do consider supporting our local indie cinema the Hornsby Odeon?

Semi spoiler those moments of humor the reviewers refer to  ... watch out for TREVOR's appearance and you'll find out why Ben Kingsley was willing to do this sand yes there is a short gag scene at the VERY very very end of the credits!

Some of the humor is ironic other moments ... wait were they implying something about ... just go enjoy it !

Now if only the Odeon was going to show Star Trek too ...

Lest We Forget Wreaths

The M60 Bus Stop Again

this is the M60 bus stop see there is no wall or roof or shelter from wind sun or rain see also my email inbox with no replies from council or the local paper hey sun is good for you right? I wonder what the chances are of having any kind of temporary shelter put up?

Our War Memorial

Snow white snow bright bloom

Since we get rain rather than snow in winter in this area unless there's a severe frost we often get flowers in what should be winter in this temperature zone.

That Bus seat again!

That Bus seat again?!

I'm sorry to report I have had no feedback whatsoever from the develope Civil Plus Hornsby Council hornsby Advocate or anyone else about the smashed bus seat and who we can complain or contact to arrange some kind of temporary shelter.

Folks please contact these people. Maybe if a lot of us complain action will be taken but meanwhile commuters who catch the M6) 632 or 589 at the First Pacific stop are left with no shelter from sun wind or rain.

The years first lasiandra?

Bring In The Clowns

While civil plus demo crew see previous post were removing rubble other people were clowning around in the mall guys i know the pyc is a great n important but when you get back to work monday please do some thing about bus seats ?

Smashing Bus Seats

just what hornsby needs one less bus seat yes folks remember the bus seat that disappeared behind the demo scaffolding crnr edgeworth david n pacific highway well it briefly reappeared on friday half smashed the bus stop for the M60 and several other buses now has zero shelter from rain sun n wind !

Broken Bus Seats

Dear fellow Commuters tomorrow I will have lotsa lovely photos to show you of the ongoing fiasco  of the bus stop vandalized by a demo crew.

Yes I mean the stop at the corner of Edgeworth David and Pacific Highway.

Not content with removing the building that provided some limited shelter from the sun wind and rain to commuters without placing up any temporary kind of awning or shelter for parents with prams school children the elderly and other commuters they have now managed to actually SMASH a bus seat as well.

Yes SMASH!

oh they have a web site civilplus.net.au and admin@civilplus.net.au

I wonder how they'll reach to weasel out of this.

Their crew was claiming they didnt smash the seat?

So there's a individual out there with superhuman  strenght casually tossing seats with CONCRETE bases over fences into building sites is there?


Hmph?!

Magnolia Do Fruit

Not a great shot but I wanted to show you that magnolias do fruit.

Usually the local birds eat all the fruits before I can get a photo.

The bird's not fat. They can like to fluff out their feathers when they're perching perhaps to keep their feet warm or maybe to lower their body heat?

I don't feed them. They visit for the visit and cos we don't have a dog or cat.

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!
