Sunday Selections #676

 Long ago, Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look.

Elephant's Child is taking a break this month.

Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.

Going back to 2013 today, here are a few photos from my visit to Fremantle and Rottnest Island:

down by the docks where the market sheds are was this old sailing ship

isn't she beautiful?

the sign tells you when she sails and the cost of tickets, but remember this was near eleven years ago.

many of the Docklands buildings are painted white

and stand out brilliantly against the blue sky

they are all very well maintained too

I'm sure you'll agree.

in the Fremantle shopping district is a small park with many statues, this is a statue of a man creating another one

stepping back to see a wider view

another gentleman, a pilot if I remember rightly.

brightly coloured bollards to prevent traffic flowing through

this was the ferry R and I rode on the cross the sea to Rottnest Island

looking quite sleek when turning into the mooring point as we waited to be taken back to Fremantle

the picnic tables near the cafes often have a few quokkas picking up crumbs

here's one in the wild

and another having a bit of lunch

why did the quokka cross the road? we'll never know

aren't you finished taking photos yet? I'd like some privacy.

Coming back to 2024:

the girls looking sleepy and napping a lot while they had covid

and MUCH better just a few days later.

I've been told they are back to normal now and running around like wild things again.
