Macro Flowers Saturday; as simple as a Daisy;

Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.

I'm half crazy all for the love of you.

It won't be a stylish marriage,

I can't afford a carriage.

But you'll look sweet,

Upon the seat,

Of a bicycle made for two.

Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true.

I'm not crazy all for the love of you.

There won't be any marriage,

if you can't afford a carriage.

'Cause I'll be switched, 

if I get hitched,

on a bicycle built for two!"

This is My World; Kookaburra;

Kookaburra in the garden; Please click to enlarge;

Kookaburras (genus Dacelo) are large terrestrial kingfishers native to Australia and New Guinea. The name a loanword from Wiradjuri guuguubarra, which is onomatopoeic of its call.

Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call, which sounds uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter — good-natured, but rather hysterical, merriment in the case of the renowned Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae); and maniacal cackling in the case of the slightly smaller Blue-winged Kookaburra (D. leachii).

They are territorial, and often live with the partly grown chicks of the previous season.

They often sing as a chorus to mark their territory and can be found in habitats ranging from humid forest to arid savanna, but also in suburban and residential areas near running water and where food can be searched for easily.

My World Tuesday; Pioneer women;

A tribute to Pioneer women, Longreach, Australia.

From the 1800s to the onset of World War I, pioneers making their homes in outback Australia were joined by their wives, many of whom had no idea of the difficulties and dangers ahead.

These brave and resourceful women encountered conditions which would test their resilience and resourcefulness to the utmost:

relentless heat, dust and isolation; and no doctors or pioneer women featured who faced the risk of dying from malaria, the scourge of tropical Australia.

Many women lived in wooden huts or tin sheds with concrete floors, cooked on wood-fired stoves, and lacked any of the domestic appliances we take for granted today.

Georgiana Molloy and the Brussell women tamed hectares of virgin bush with primitive implements. Myrtle White was trapped among sandhills, the fine grains invading her home and impeding her harrowing attempts to get her feverish baby son to the doctor before he died.

White's predicament was quoted by the Revd John Flynn while raising funds for his Flying Doctor service.

The outback was indeed 'no place for a lady'. Yet many women with no previous experience of hardship rose to the challenge of creating homes, nursing farming - and keeping journals, which provided a startling vivid picture of the life they faced - part of the outback legend.

(Great Pioneer Women of the Outback by Susanna De Vries)

'Great Pioneer Women of the Outback' features women pioneering in some of the harshest land in Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and New South Wales.

The Hot, the Loud and the Proud; Hibiscus;

This is my favourite red Hibiscus, its flowers are double and as big as a dessert plate. It is very hardy too.

I always liked this Cuban variety; its striking colours of yellow and red; easily propagated from cuttings.

Isobel Beard is a little diva, only shows off her gorgeous flowers when she wants to.

Hawaiian elephant ear grows to a tall bush; wonderful, big double flowers kissed with pink.

As it is the height of summer I thought I let some of my Hibiscus show of their hot, loud and proud flowers.

It does not look to good in the house of Parliament;

The Supreme Court has ruled that there cannot be a

Nativity Scene in the Australian Capital this Christmas

season.

This isn't for any religious reason.

They simply have not been able to find Three Wise Men

in Canberra .

A search for a Virgin continues.

There was no problem, however, finding enough asses

to fill the stable.

SMILE!

Politics/ Weakileak;

Hope for a better World

!"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive." - Thomas Jefferson

Long live Wikileak; long live Julian Assange;

Wikileak is an organization which challenges the corrupt behavior of Governments. As governments are “democratically elected by the people, the people have the right to know what sort of games they are playing. Politicans are not above the law. It is our right to know.

We all know politics is a dirty, hidden game. A big, bad bruise.

Politics has always been the rotten part in people’s history. Its war cry has not changed, deceive, rob, lie and terrify.

Luckily we have today the Internet and Wikileak which the rotten bunch in high offices do not like because their evil doings are exposed.

There are a few, perhaps a handful of gracious, honest and candid Politicians in the world. The majority are a despicable bunch of …..
