Organic-Inorganic Miscible Compositions - This Way This Thursday #2

Thurs-Way is still coming in some quarters of the world. So I won't deem myself late.

Please give the badge a Tickle and it will take you there. Come and join the FUN. Tell us about your Road. Show some of your Signs. And Lead us to the Pathways of your haven.



Yah, that's the Great Western Highway - the sole link between Sydney and the West. The place where this sign is located is called Little Hartley, which is part of the Blue Mountains about hour and a half drive from the city and 30 minutes to Lithgow.

This is the Woodfired Pizza I was talking about in my previous Meme: My World. It was done in You Tube video clip so if you are having trouble downloading then please don't open the link unless you feel the temptation of doing so. Actually it will just appear automatically and it does take sometime to play because I set it to slow play and zoom motion.

It was raining that day, hence, the wet road. It did not deter me from taking pictures here and there with the owner's approval of course. His name is Ron and he is running a photographic competitions that he will post here.

The woodfired pizza is truly scrumptious. It is housed in a roadside cottage where a through door will take you to a metallic art work gallery manned and owned by Ron himself. By the way, the pizza cafe is being run by his wife, Catherine.

Hungry and famish travellers do stop here for their famous pizza and friendly service. The old-fashioned countrytown friendly, quick and efficient service. I'll post more photos in another blog.

No, this is not a commercial plug. Just kind of travelogue out of boredom. I just happened to speak to Ron as I was fascinated by his metallic art work. Very impressive skills he has.

Heavenly Sprinkle

Watery Wednesday #8

Shall we sprinkle some nice comments to other Watery Wednesday's splashes? Let's Do It! Give this a click WATERY WEDNESDAY. Great concept of 2Sweetandsaxy.

Woodford Railway Station

This is an old roadside hotel called The Alex Hotel, parallel to Katoomba Railway Station
In my previous meme My World, I mentioned about the Train Ride from Lithgow to the City and that it was raining through from there until we reached Penrith. I was by the window, so I managed to keep Eric dry from the sky spray. Very cold!

Way Out in The Valley

My World #9

There's always something new in MY WORLD view.
Please see them. It's just one mouse click away. My World is hosted by: Klaus- Sandy-Ivar-Wren-Fish Guy and Louise


Today's MY WORLD is only a small dot in the horizon. It is way out in a small country town of Little Hartley which is over an hour drive from Sydney. This is one rare occasion where I am able to get out of my burrow to see the mountain valley to catch some icy wind of winter.

It was actually drizzling sleets when we arrived there. Thanks to my lovely daughter Lily who asked me to come for a drive with them. We stopped at this Woodfired Pizza Cafe and Art Gallery Shop called Talisman for a late lunch.

Her boyfriend and friends from Orange were there already. While waiting to be served, I stood up with my Eric and took some pictures to the point of talking to the owner.

That story will come in another blog.

I had a nice trip home aboard a countrylink train. It was raining all the way through until we reached Penrith. Then, then, I thought I would create a video to break away from the mold. Enjoy!

Cheers!

Floral Slide for Today's Flowers

It's My Number 6 (this time)

Today's Flowers is on offer as florally created by Luis Santilli Jr. It's time to visit Today's Flowers and smell those sweet scented delights. TF Team on Board:Santilli - Denise - Pupo - Valkyrien



Sliding my collection of Flowers from my garden and other sources

Flowers Number 1, 2, 6 and 7 were from my own garden.
Flowers Number 3, 4 and 9 were from our little village garden.
Number 5 is Bougainvillea (I call Tangerine) taken when per chance I passed by a fence while walking somewhere in Whale Beach.
Number 8 is a simple composite of Bird of Paradise taken from the street where I live.
Number 10 is a single petalled pink Hibiscus taken in Mosman.

That goes to show, am almost everywhere around Sydney. :)

Auburn and The Rocks

My Scenic Sunday #6


A bit of a city view this time. What about giving other Scenic Sunday sites a visit and leaving a line of your appreciative comment?

Chiswick Road, Auburn, where the Scenic Sunday Wedding was held. That's my girl waving to the Newlyweds in the Hummer for their own exclusive Wedding Tour.

I think this place is part of The Rocks. I'm not really sure. This street faces the Harbour where the Opera House is visible from this point of view.

Both pictures are compliments from a church family friend.

Enjoy this Scenic Sunday!

Cheers!

The Look of Love

My Second Entry to

as created by Ebie and Company.
Please click the picture above to join us.

Much has been said about the Wedding. I guess, this is one of the most Memorable Weekend Memoirs for us when these two lovebirds exchanged I Do's last month that fell on a Sunday in Auburn Botanical Garden.

The Auburn Botanic and Japanese Gardens consists of nine separate gardens: Japanese hill and lake, sunken rose gardens, woodland theatre and billabong area, Australian rainforest, Australian woodlands, picnic and BBQ area, Bonsai garden, aviary and fauna reserve.

Stormy Face of a Cold Zone

Skywatch Friday #13

Oh oh... take note of my skywatch number above. No am not paranoid about numbers. lol
From Dot to Tom over to Host Klaus with Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and ...Louise. SkyWatch Friday continues to create a huge sensational Phenomenon in the Meme World. Please keep Skywatching every Friday....the Sky is just above you. Look UP!


Taken on a ground level
Eric was pointed higher to Western direction
Then I aimed towards the North

When you look at the sky on a day like this, there is a tendency that the face of a cold zone can be threatening. On this particular Friday late afternoon, even in the most arid suburb of Sydney, particularly Liverpool, a winter barometric Celsius scale reading is unpredictable.

This day, I took these photos, was atypically extremely cold. I stood alone on this Bus Bay waiting for a bus transport, freezing. I undermined the weather that I did not cloak myself with a proper winter coat. Imagine a ghostly little me standing there with a pallid countenance.

Cheers!

Dis-Figured Lane

Thurs-Way is still coming in some quarters of the world. So I won't deem myself late.

Please give the badge a Tickle and it will take you there. Come and join the FUN. Tell us about your Road. Show some of your Signs. And Lead us to the Pathways of your haven.



City workers do park their cars on the street where I live.

Don't ask. I really don't know what happen. And why this photo became disfigured. I thought, oh well, there's something fun for something odd. Maybe Eric was myopic at the time I touched his button.Wink!

Cheers!

Traipsing Around Darling Harbour

Watery Wednesday #7

I'm back! Please come with me to the most beautiful harbour in the world and be swept off your feet to the symphonic view of Darling Harbour. Great viewing here and photo taking as well. Now let's surf the watery blogworld here. Great concept by 2Sweetandsaxy.

Four months into a complete Solitary Confinement called Empty Nest, I went out to traipse around the city and ended my feet entering the gateway to the famous Darling Harbour. You would know it is Darling Harbour if you will see this Sign:

The Sydney Olympic 2000 Logo.

Sparkling Fountain

Lazing for a free green grass bed under the shade.

Foot Spa Anyone?

Pyrmont Bridge and the Story behind.

Cockle Bay and elsewhere

Sydney’s early settlers knew Darling Harbour as Cockle Bay, due to the abundance of shellfish, long before this previously tranquil inlet became the city’s main industrial region, with docks, a railway yard and an international shipping terminal. The area later fell into a decline, but was revamped by the State Government and opened in 1988 in time for the bicentenary celebrations.

Ya, the year I arrived this blessed country sweeping in green and gold.
