Bicycles

A bit of a mix here.... My daughters bike, a gift from Santa a few years back, but hasn't been ridden a while...far too cold for her!
The boys spend most of their time on their motor bikes, enjoy riding through the mud!!

And a miniature, under my lemon-scented Darwinia.
Bye for now

something that makes you go uurrrr.....

I LOVE RAIN
but when I need to go to work I have roads like this to travel on.............they sure do make me go uurrrr...........(and sometimes all over the road and off it too but we won't go there)
this kangaroo would make me go UURRRRR if he jumped out in front of me and I hit him when driving along..............thankfully I saw him with plenty of time and he moved off out of my way..........he is very dark this guy............
