The Back Paddock

I used this one

Hello! Friday is done and dusted!
Apart from some mundane shopping and a few other things, I had to get a ‘Fence’ photo for tomorrows challenge subject.
That was meant to be an easy one! I passed SO MANY amazing ones on my USA road trip but wasn’t smart enough to ask my friend to pull over!
I did a bit of a drive up the Calder Rd but found nothing to my liking.
So I jumped the fence (a non-aesthetically pleasing one) and went into the paddock behind our house to see what I could find.
Sigh… nothing like I wanted. Oh well… make the best of it.
Oh – and don’t touch the electric fences!! haha

Overgrown a bit!
Rich afternoon light!

I couldn’t pass up trying a few shots of the hay shed while I was out there with my tripod

Just for fun… these are each actually five shots at different exposures merged into a single shot.

I need to do more of these types of shots – but its called ‘not being lazy’ and actually carry a tripod and spend some more time setting up rather than randomly snapping away!

I’ll wait until I have my USA shots under control!

Anyway, almost time for bed. I was a bit naughty tonight. Jeff went to bed crazy early so in a fit of loneliness I made a batch of hot buttery pikelets and scoffed 3/4 of them!! (and washed them down with a hot chocolate!)
I now have Pikelet Regret.
They were good but now trying to work out how far I have to hike in what kind of weather tomorrow to make up for that!

Cheers!

  1. What are pikelets? If they are those pancake looking goodies, count me in! I first thought they were some kind of small fish.

    1. Pikelets – Best described as a mini pancake πŸ™‚ The afternoon tea treat you were sometimes lucky to get as a kid!
      Best eaten hot and buttery – but they work cold (kids lunches) You can add jam to them… cream if you are feeling really naughty! πŸ™‚
      They are pretty easy to put together and can also freeze.
      I’ll put up a recipe on my page. I didn’t realise they weren’t a ‘thing’ in North America until I had my friends on facebook querying them πŸ™‚
