Bob Bobbing Along
Elizabeth E. (aka Ladybess aka Bob) is a camera-wielding escapee from Leprechaunia in New England who, nevertheless, thumbs her pert nose at those damnable English Garden Gnomes - bad EGGS one and all! But in her seven league boots, this mysterious personage - a worthy representative of the little people - is now traveling around sunny Western Australia. Somehow, this stowaway on a hot-air balloon fell out of the damned thing when it was floating above the Perth Zoo to end up in my funky condo in the Ape House, thus escaping the scrutiny of the Oz Customs and Quarantine Service.
When caught by them, she will undoubtedly be deported - Don't want more oddballs here, thanks very much! But until apprehended, the Yankee Leprechaun from Boston is in the banana stained and hairy paws of this New Age enlightened ape - touring around to have a bo-peep at some of my favourite spots in West Oz. After all, when she landed on the balcony of my Ape House condo, she grinned and announced: Have camera, will travel.

Smile, damn it!

Look, I'm begging you on my knees - please smile for the camera.
Image 03
Hello, sailor!
Image 04
You can't hide from me!
Image 05
Hello, what's going on there ... and why am I sitting under this damned umbrella?
Image 06
Well, fancy that - you're right out of big breakfasts!
Image 07
Did you say, coffee?
Image 08
I must go down to the sea again, the lonely sea and sky ...
Image 09
I must be mad to be standing here like this!

Bob on the rocks.
Image 11
Just got to love this farm life!
Image 12
A girl's got to eat!
Image 13
I'm just an old fashioned girl.
Image 14
Look at my new car!
Image 15
I don't have a head for heights, Magi.
Image 16
Let's give thanks for really BIG breakfasts.
Image 17
Is that the redemption train with breakfast?
Image 18
Born free, as free as the wind blows and creeks run.
Image 19
All tangled up in blue.
Image 20
That's one hell of a big rooster!
Image 21
Did you say big breakfast?
Image 22
But I am smiling, Bob!
Image 23
I think we've tracked down the big breakfasts, Magi.
Image 24
Did you say the big breakfast is served, Magi?
Image 25
I'm waiting in ambush for the damned cook!
Image 26
Hold it right there with those breakfasts - don't you dare move!
Image 27
Hmmm .... he died of a big breakfast.
Image 28
There must be a big breakfast here somewhere!
Image 29
Bring it out right now - you can't hide bacon and eggs from me!
Image 30
I've spotted you - now bring out the damned breakfast!
Image 31
It was one BIG breakfast too many that did it, Magi.
Image 32
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned .... I had an EXTRA big breakfast

If you click on the individual photos, they should be of a much better standard - fingers crossed.
I'd better go and have a BIG breakfast.
Yes, Bob also has big breakfasts ... but, to be fair, a more modest version of what I get served up ... and she is somehow putting on an ounce or two as she hoofs it around West Oz. She's a bundle of energy, is that girl!
Pot of gold? No little Irish bugger is shoving a pot of gold my way ... but I'm receiving a lot of pampering from Bob to alleviate the exhaustion of route marching around. LOL
The weather has been gorgeous lately....and we've been off to the beach just to lay around, get some rays and I actually went in swimming at Fremantle the other day. Of course, the people at the beach probably think I'm an "oddball" for going in the water at the beginning of spring. But really the water is far warmer then Cape Cod beaches in the summer.
It has been my pleasure going out and about with Bob and trying to give a visual record of her doing her thing. But, alas, Gather is stuffing up the quality of the pics.
Although the walking about helps, I'm sure.
Loved the photo essay anyway though .... it looks like you guys are having so much fun ... and it is great to be able to share the adventure without the expense of actually getting on a plane and going there (tempting as that might be)
Yes, we are having fun but now are slowing down the pace to regain our breath ... it has been hectic. Thank you for your encouragement.
Yep, traveled right along with. Fearful too of deportation however, I've remained tucked (you may hear me grumbling down here for a-mite more room).
I dearly appreciate the pictures. I can at least see what's going on out there... About those breakfasts?
Just love being along for the ride. The Surreal Circus
Now, here, eat your big breakfast. And then off we go again.
Oh and I too love the theme of "big breakfasts all through here it was tooooo funny!
Now, let's see about getting you a big breakfast ... waiter, waiter - where is that bugger?
That Bob is a bundle of energy...Retirement must be a very good thing.
Bob has incredible energy .... but I do get up earlier in the morning than she does. On the flip side, I go to bed earlier - usually, totally exhausted.
That's Bernadette's comment made on my laptop. I can't figure out what you are doing wrong with the photos - Bob is a master at this; perhap she could help?
I get a kick out of sharing the adventures with you all.
As to the photos ... we've deduced that nothing at all should be done in Word to be copied across. And using coloured text, bold and italics fonts in Gather should be avoided. We can't think of what else can be causing the problems that I've experience but that Bob hasn't.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing all the beautiful moments with us
It was my pleasure.
