Sunday Selections #128

Welcome back to Sunday Selections!

This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs.

The rules are very simple:-

1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title

2. link back to me, River, somewhere in your post

3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted.

4. hop on over to The Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.

Kath and Andrew often join in as well.

The original purpose of Sunday Selections was to show off old pictures that have been languishing in your files and never being seen.

But I've lost track of what I've shown, so this week you're seeing new stuff. 

A visit to Mandurah, south of Fremantle in Western Australia.

I visited the waterfront at Mandurah with my brother R and his lovely partner V, while R fired up one of the electric BBQs and cooked our picnic lunch, V and I watched a reasonably tame pelican as he wandered around hoping people would toss him scraps of food.

Here he is eyeing off the chicken and tomatoes as R turned them on the BBQ

Losing interest and walking away

looking back to see if we'd changed our minds

looking back toward the group of kids that were following him around. About a dozen kids in assorted sizes were behind him for the whole time we were there.

After our lunch we walked along the grass and down these steps

and along this boardwalk.

that's my brother, right there.

and this is the bridge across the Peel Inlet.

We left Mandurah and drove back towards Fremantle, stopping along the way for icecreams at Rockingham.
I didn't take any photos there as I was way too busy slurping up rum and raisin icecream.

The weather was beautiful the whole week I was in WA, a bit of cloud here and there, lots of sun, a couple of nights when it rained, perfect for sightseeing.
