Some photos I've taken . . .

I've been a keen photograher since my teen years and I am currently gathering some photos of people
for this page and meanwhile here are some views to fill the empty spaces  . . .

Memories of the flood in January 2011. Our road was cut at this point but we could get into town by another route. For orientation - the large building at the top left of photo is the headquarters of Murray Views.	The young lady is having some fun floating around on water over our road. The water attracted many visitors!
Another visitor to what would normally be our road. In fact, the area just outside our house became a sort of impromptu town square with people coming and going to view the flood waters, paddle in boats and just to look.	A young busker at the Southside Market. I would have been far too shy to engage in such an activity at her age! I admire young people who get out and do things like this. (I don't know her name but would be happy to add it here if her family contact me.)
A view of some of the beautiful country around Gympie. I am a newcomer, one of the invaders from the south (fortunately for me there is no Jo guarding the pass these days) and I find this area just stunningly beautiful.	No need to say what's in this photo. I'm sure everyone in Gympie knows this place. And it is most photogenic - at least I think it is.
Feeding the ducks in a quiet corner of the park. This park is a magnet for a hoard of ibises which, I gather, are not too popular as they tend to drive out the other birds. Ibises visit my home daily, along with many other bird varieties.	Someone enjoying herself at the Southside Market.
A patriotic touch at Gympie's Australia Day celebrations in 2010.	My over-indulged cat Giles. Poor Giles had to travel in my car all the way up from Newcastle when I moved here. We drove through the night, stopping only for petrol. But he looks like he's recovered! Cats are great survivors.
Bit of a shock to find myself dealing with a witch at the Woolworths checkout! But she was a charming witch, probably a white witch. A nice touch for Halloween.	Many birds visit our backyard. There are always ibis, and crows, magpies, mudlarks, butcherbirds, sparrows, crested pigeons, doves, willy wagtails (or are they restless flycatchers?), and once in a while white cockatoos. Just recently a small flock of galahs turned up and over a period of days cleaned out something delicious they found on the ground. Couldn't work out what they were eating and neither, I guess, could the crow and ibis watching!

More photos soon!
