View from the road in front of their home.
The work that I did the first morning. Just gave this trail a nice haircut on both sides, then used a wheelbarrow to bring the clippings up to be composted. Beautiful weather! Like it's been the past month and half straight.
The pool that Doug built himself. Later he would tell me proudly all about the filtration device that he made himself.
The Next Day
It hasn't even been two days but I'm ready for an adventure so after my work in the morning I ate a big lunch, filled my camelbak with water, and brought an apple and banana along, as well as my video camera. I started with their yard, then journeyed out on foot. I started a little after noon, so I knew I had a little more than five hours before the mosquitoes carrying all sorts of freaky stuff would come buzzing around.
Soon after I started it was dead silent. Nothing. Another reason I won't raise a family in a busy city. No silence. I saw a spider web that went over the road and it was so thick it looked like I could walk on it like a tightrope. Entertainment for the trip included me spying on nature with my 35x zoom camera lens, talking to myself in different voices, going into properties for sale and filming myself like it was MTV Cribs, and stopping in the middle of a three way intersection to take a glorious piss.
Taking its last few breaths.
Right when I was walking past this Halloween style bunny a car ran right over it.
Cuz I know everyone wanted to see that.
Whoopsie. I'm spotted.
Sup bro you look a lil squashed.
Crispy fried.
The plant and animal life in Straya' is of a different world.
