Kangaroo, last summer

A bit of a flashback here. The weather is so awful and dull outside – and cold – that I thought I’d do something different for a photo. Last summer, when the grass in the paddocks and roadsides had died off, this kangaroo came into our yard to pick at the bit of green. I think this old fellow normally lives in the paddocks behind us as I’ve noticed a single kangaroo laying about on his own during my walk. Kangaroos are common around here, and most homes with unsecured yards  get visited overnight when feed is scarce. Sometimes pets and people get injured. Others more desperate will come in daytime like this big fellow who looks in very poor condition.  It’s only since our old blue heeler dog died last year, that they venture in past the car and right into our yard.

The jonquils are beginning to bloom. This is a photo taken about the same time of the year in 2010 (Fujifilm FinepixA607).  Golden leaves in the background belong to the elm tree. That branch is no longer there, having fell last year.jonquils
