Friday's Fences: More Rural inspiration

This weeks photography expeditions have involved a LOT of driving (on my husband's part) on his 2 days off. He has been working weekends the last 2 weeks so has 2 weekdays rostered off.

The first day involved driving to a rural area south of Brisbane called Mt Cotton. Mt Cotton was originally settled in the 1870's by farm selectors, many of German origin. Originally the farmers grew maize and other crops and later turned to citrus orchards. In the 1960's, the area diversified into dairy, fruit and vegetable farming. Here are just a few fences in the area...



And this one from the Carbrook area which is a little further down the road.

Weekend Flowers: Water Lillies

On one of my husband's days off this week, we took a drive out to another rural area of Brisbane for a little bit of country...

World Bird Wednesday: Noisy Miner

I took these photos a couple of weeks ago and have been waiting to post these but, due to my bird photography obsession last month, I had a back log of bird images. So here we are, finally, with the Noisy Miner. I know they can be quite annoying but they are rather cute!

And because of the time of year, I captured some amongst the Jacarandas.

Barn Charm: Rural Brisbane (Australia)

Some of these have been posted before in my Rural Inspiration post. I was asked by Tricia at Bluff Area Daily to link up with this weeks Barn Charm. I also decided to have a little play with textures in Picnik... not sure about the results as texture is quite out of my comfort zone.
I have included the before shots too...and would LOVE it if anyone can tell me how to do the mouse over.






Thanks for stopping by.
