It's hard to go past the boar outside the hospital.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared.

The Pasture by Robert Frost
"I'm going out to clean the pasture spring;
I'll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too.
I'm going out to fetch the little calf
That's standing by the mother. It's so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."

Oh Grandma! What big teeth you have!
ReplyDeleteIt's the tusks not the teeth that would bother me.
DeleteSheesh.
ReplyDeleteEwww.
Has he got dribble coming out of his mouth?
I see from the website that you can put money in him. Must have to put into the mouth past that dribble.
DeleteSuch detail... down to the drool. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was fun to focus on the detail instead of the full animal though I do find him rather attractive in the whole too
DeleteWhat a great close-up shot!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have a fountain or two to show. We don't have a lot of them in the mountains. Our specialty is water falls.
DeleteI don't have any trouble going past this 'bore' ... this is an inspired collection.
ReplyDeleteHow can you say that. It is not plastic.
Deleteha ha only his Mum could love him :D)
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have a very shiny nose from being patted. Lots of people must love him.
DeleteLove this photo, I havent seen him up close only from the car.
ReplyDeleteHow could you not have taken a walk down Macquarie Street. I like it but then I go to the state library a lot because it offers a comfortable place to sit and work with power for my computer.
