I bought a new iPad Air 2 a couple of days ago, very pleased with it. My old iPad 2 was jumpy and slow, it's been used heaps and is worn out nearly 4 years on.
Travelling around not that far from home here I took some photos in the country which don't belong to anything in particular, just an assortment of photos. I took these around the Longford area here in Tasmania, Australia.
An old barn which is the entrance to Accommodation apparently.
The cross at the Catholic Church in Longford. We asked two locals where the church was, neither could tell us. The church was locked, and Mass is held there I presume once a month, though I am not sure.
Note the bell on the right. Don't often see this attached to a church.
The above house is in the town of Perth, and it once belonged to one of my husband's Aunties and her husband, long ago. It's the only two story house built on the side of the road in Perth.
Naked ladies because they have no leaves. These are found in many places at this time of the year.
Bells and churches go together here, although they are out of vogue and only on the old churches. That's a terrible reaction to statins. I hope it resolves quickly!
ReplyDeleteMany churches have a bell tower but this one is separate.
DeleteYes a dreadful reaction which is part of the problem.
Thanks for your kind words.
I can't pick one of the pictures I enjoyed the most, as they are all wonderful for their own purpose. The cross and the church stand out for me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Thank you.
DeleteIs it a lily? Lovely church. Have your SIL google adverse reactions to statins. Most people can take them but a few have awful reactions. It can be very serious (called Myositis I think) so she needs medical opinions immediately if indeed it is statin related. I was on them for about 5 years without reaction thankfully but I don't need then any more. Best of luck to her.

ReplyDeleteYes a lily. Yes she did Google it. Thank you for your link, I went there, read it and sent it to my SIL. She went back to Dr. Today...
DeleteThose naked ladies are FAB-U-LOUS
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed. There is a very long driveway in the country that has them all down each side, looks amazing....a pretty show.
DeleteI love your barn. The church looks so nice.We also grow naked ladies herte they are fantastic
ReplyDeleteLooks a big barn from the outside.
DeleteIntriguing photos!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what actually is inside that barn now??
Maybe if close to your home, worth another "sticky-beak" visit??
Funny that church bell. I'd completely forgotten but on seeing it on
your blog, I recalled the bell at the Catholic Church at Moree.
The same - out in the open! I know I had to ring the bloody thing
as I was an altar boy way back in the "good old 50's in Moree".
Cheers
Colin
PS: Need any rain?? - ha ha! Plenty of it up here - to excess in Brisbane!!
We'll have web feet next.
On the door of the barn it said, accommodation...so I guess there is an office and what ever else, have no idea. The barn is not that far from home :) I might ask someone what's in there. I went there once before with my camera and didn't get a very good reception.
DeleteI think I have seen the church at Moree when travelling through but didn't take a photo.
No rain down here....could do with lots but not as much as you are getting.
We went right through Moree, also to the older part of the town...if that helps.
DeleteI love that huge old weathered barn, complete with rooster weather vane on the roof. I'm glad it has a new use. And, those naked ladies are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the weathervane, I always like those in the appropriate place. The ladies were in the garden at the side of the Main Street in Longford.
DeleteI've never had an iPad, I have a Kindle Fire HD
ReplyDeleteWell I got my first iPad because it was clearer than what was offering at the time. I got this new one to be different from my husband as he has a Samsung. I also have a Kindle to read books on, it will surf the net but I dont bother with that part of it.
DeleteCraig may know the flower as a Nerine, assuming they are the same and I think they are. I take a cholesterol medication that is not a statin but a lipid lowering drug. No side effects but my partner had a bad reaction to statins, with joint pain. He stopped and I think takes another brand now.
ReplyDeleteThat could well be the case. My husband is the expert and I should ask him. That's interesting about R and statin. SIL went to the Dr. Today for results of blood test. Shows a few problems..a dreadful reaction she is having, and will take ages for her to recover to some degree. It's rare to have such a severe reaction.
DeleteOh yes, great photos. The barn looks somewhat like an American barn.
ReplyDeleteThanks...and it does look a little similar to an Amercian one, I guess that was done in the revamp of the old barn.
DeleteI have never had or tried to use an IPad...I know, I am so behind the times. LOL! Your photos are gorgeous, I just love this series. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. When taking photos I'm in my glee :) these iPads are good to use, well for me as it suits my needs.
DeleteWhen I think of old churches I think of bells and I don't own a ipad and have never tried to use one but my daughter loves hers
ReplyDeleteBells and old churches go together.
