Default Eeeeeeeee!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Ride Em Cowboy!!!!!!!!

Today Angela and I had a real busy day playing with bugs and these fella's, However we were supposed to be overhauling our rental property that our tenants happily left behind in a mess and fled across the ditch to Australia. Here are my shots that took about 3 hours to take because we all know these guys are never in a hurry.

Climb aboard for the fastest ride of your lifetime!!









Climb aboard

You're a hoot Steve, great shots. Send a description of your rat-bag tenants and I'll keep an eye out for them!

Cheers,

Gerard

Hang on, I think I just saw them crossing the Harbour Bridge - they were wearing gumboots and had a sheep under each arm!

Those thieving bugger's, I wondered where my gumboots disapeared to, see if you can borrow one of those armour plated horse's and chase them, cheers Steve.

great shots, the commentary made it! At least snails are easy to photograph because they don't move fast!
