My World no 19 – The Chicken at the Wirrabara Market

Every third Sunday in the month there is a Farmers  market in Wirrabara. We passed Wirrabara on our way to Seven Hills last Sunday, but now we want to buy the monthly supplies of bio-dynamic products from the Farmers around Wirrabara. A lot of pictures were taken, Whiskie chose a few and there were a  photo not taken, but c’est la vie. I’m fortunate, I saw it and it made my day.
 
 The Free range Chicken at the Wirrabara Market
 
Someone wanted to buy a chicken
This little one here
No way this little chicken wanted leaving with some strangers.
The Chuck was running as fast as she could
Last turn around

And then, the picture not taken. I had a fresh battery pack in my hand and saw a beautiful takeoff from the market place over the roof were the coffee was served and over to the main street in Wirrabara she disappeared.
I went out on the street looking for the adventures chicken, but she was not seen

Not by my little friend here, anyway.
After a while I was checking a certificate the farmer had hung up
Truly eggs laid by free range chickens as everyone could see
If the farmer didn’t bring her back home, she is probably still sitting there?
 P.S. At the next market we were told that the farmer went back the same evening and brought her back home.....
This was my little story from my world to you this week, don’t miss out on the rest of the world here!

Whiskies favourite cat

My Editor, Whiskie, simply adore this cat in Bellegarde. She needs moral support to guard all her blogg pictures. So she thinks this mean cat is her new good friend.

Sky Watch no 18

The weather had difficulty to decide what we should get today, so it was sun over the Port Germein Bushland and dark and threatning over the Flinders. But when you are 200 meters from your home and shelter, it doesn't matter does it?
  I think time has come to take shelter.
 
Not “Lake Collison”, but a new puddle on West Terrace.
Some displaced weed I found out there in the Bushland.
And the flock of Ibis lifting from “Lake Collison”
That was a few from today.

My World no 18 - Seven Hills

We are ready for a Sunday outing to Clare Valley for stocking up at The Seven Hill vineyard and to have lunch at the Stone Hut. Be prepared for some pictures. I’m taking pictures in the usual tempo down here, and from around 500 pictures I surprisingly got more usable than expected and some of those I want to share with you. Those not shown in this post you can find in the Picasa album.
Apart from the long stretches with this wide and flat landscape and the big sky, I’m always fascinated by the beauty of the trees and old majestic buildings or sad broken houses. I’ve made sure that the writings on the various signs is readable at least when you click on them to show more details.

The day starts out with an intensely blue sky and small brush strokes of clouds. We are crossing the Flinders Ranges through the Port Germein Gorge. That’s more scenic then driving down the highway to Port Wakefield. That stretch is now too familiar.

Way up in the gorge there was this little place where we stopped,
