The Bush

The answer was blowin’ in the wind

So I know you are all just dying to know what
the real answer to the Mystery Photo was…
Go on, admit it! I need to hear you say it…
Oh alright. If you insist.
Here is the Seriously Mysterious Image again…

Stumped? You know even Jeanie didn’t know what it was…
she will kick herself!
OK, I’ll reveal a little more…
Hmmm. Getting warmer.

Oooohhh.
C’mon, you know by now, surely!
NB how amazingly blue is this sky?
I haven’t messed with it, I promise!

Here you go then… the full wheel!
I reckon these things are incredible – harnessing nature for the good of man (and beast) to pump water from deep beneath our feet (and hooves) to waiting tanks and troughs. We have about a dozen of these things at Granite Glen, providing essential water to our stock. The design hasn’t changed much in the last five or six decades. It’s practical design that also appeals to my whimsical, arty-farty side…

An Aussie windmill.

Offering more windpower than your average politician!
(And doing way more good for mankind!!)
Til next time…

Oh alright. I know.
I haven’t announced the winner yet!
Patience is a virtue.
Posting it up shortly.
Soon as I can make an actual decision.
I promise.

    Oh darn it all – you blinded me with angles you wretched girl!!

    Sigh – there is an opening here about a certain father and statements about “bloddy windmill photos” but I will restrain myself.

    I can’t believe that I missed this comp. Windmills are one of my favourite things. We took a couple of days off – just me and the kids, hubby is still mopping up after the fires. We needed the break and you went and did a comp – I’m devastated!
    Not really – but I am very, very sad!

    I should have known — we consider windmills the South Dakota state flower, because they are all over here. (Or at least were, when I was growing up.)

    Loved the posts!
