February 26 - Contrast

We have been away for a week, so it's catch-up time! Contrast is the word of the day and I love the contrast of this red lock on the black chain-link fence. It is popular in Europe for newlyweds to put a lock onto a prominent fence and throw away the key - Makes me wonder - if it isn't 'forever' do they come back and cut the lock away?? I have noticed a couple of these in Australia recently - maybe the practise is starting here as well...

January 28 - Bounds

Two interpretations of 'bounds' today - our kangaroos aren't all the size of the big bloke I posted the other day and they bound around our property, coming down to the river every morning and sleeping in the shade under the trees during the day. This little female was sitting around on one of the walking tracks in the forest nearby - she was so quiet I was able to get close enough to capture her portrait - no photo of her bounding away a minute later though!

Fences mark the bounds of a property or space and this is a fence around one of thestockyards on the farm. The timbers are over 100 years old. Red lichen has grown over the gate, which makes it quite photogenic.
