THROUGH MY LENS

Some more photographs taken at the Cairns Show this year, Queensland, Australia.  These men were about the chop the wood against the clock.  The final photograph is of the father  who was a champion chopper (retired now) but his son is following (Middle) in his footsteps.  He is still a tennager.  They were having an interview (man on left)

THROUGH MY LENS

More photographs from “Over the Hill”.   I can upon Bob who was doing some planting, Marie also working hard and Jenny, who oversees all the work.  This is a small shed donated my one of the residents and Jenny asked Bob and I to go and get her more cement to finish off making the floor slab.  There will be shelves build in the shed and pots etc will be housed there.  The final shot is of Trevor the tractor.
