What an amazing sunset! That shot is definitely spot on. Did you get hit by the storm or was it too far away?
I hope that people not only see the beautiful photo but also read your thoughts till the end of the post. Because they are almost more beautiful than the photo - if that's even possible - they're almost poetic.
I'm serious. You know I am not too much of a talker or writer, nor am I a 'firearms person' (whatever that is), and I don't like killing, humans or animals, but I understand and respect what and why you are doing the culling on the farm. The farm that gives you this special place to escape to and - ponder life.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. And the sunset. 😍
Thanks my lovely oceany one!
I don't have it in my to drop a couple photos with only a handful of words an so I write some words which reflect what I feel inside; it's the writing that makes me the most happy. I'm so pleased you feel what I wrote and took the time to comment. Many will not read any of it and that's ok, the legit people will and that's what counts.
I understand about the not a firearms person comment. The funny thing is...neither am I. I mean sure, I have many of them and know how to use them and sure, I have killed, but I'm more than that, so much more, and my best qualities...well, I think only a few will ever see them, care or value them. That's how it is with most people. It makes me happy to hear someone who isn't a gun person say what you did about the job I do on the farm, it indicates intelligence and understanding.
If you're ever down this way, I'll take to to where these shots were taken and we can watch the sunset as we talk about stuff, or remain silent. Deal?
I think it's fairly obvious that I wasn't the only one who read your words. And felt them. Happy to see that you received such a warm welcome, especially from Castleberry. Now I'm looking forward to your beach post.
Well, it has been a while since I visited Oz - whoof - 12 years. Overdue, huh? If it weren't for that damned work thing... Assuming we're still in contact on Hive or wherever you can be sure that I will plan a stopover in Adelaide. Never been to SA... so, yeah, deal! 🤝
Yeah, it seemed well-received which was nice.
So, twelve years since you've been in Australia? Far too long. It might be time to get it done!
