Thanks so much to everyone who took precious time from their day to trawl through my posts to find their favourite images. I have added some suggestions to the selection I will be offering next Tuesday, at the Bush Melbourne Cup event at my cousin’s property (that’s our version of ‘ranch’ for you Americans!).
I decided that rather than choosing a favourite myself, I would go all slick on you, and use the random number generator at Random.org – hey, I can pretend I’m as wildly popular as Ree, The Pioneer Woman, can’t I? Heh. (Actually having 40,000 people respond to my blog would probably give me a heart attack – I love that I kinda know you all!! Feels like a party of friends.) Anyway, I worked out how to run the generator and got this number:
Number 17 – which correlates to commenter 17…
…Anonymous Bill!!
and here is your suggestion which I shall have printed up (8×12″) specially for you!
Wendy also suggested this shot, so if you email me, I will send you a version for your desktop.
…
Aside #1 : I don’t mind at all if people pop their blog site addesses into their comments, especially if you are forced to post under the ‘anonymous’ section. I love to know who is visiting me. And share in the ‘linky love’.
…
Aside #2: Cactus Jack Splash – I loved your idea of the electronic display and
will use my laptop to slideshow images on the table. Thanks!
…
Here are some of the other suggestions made which I am adding to the stockpile… please note that
Bottle Tree Moon and
Bunyip Reflections also made the cut as did a couple of roo shots which I will post soon.
Afternoon Ironbark.
Mama’s eye.
Cool Clear Water.
Prickly Pear in bloom.
…
Here’s hoping someone likes ’em enough to actually buy them!! I will also pop them over shortly to the ‘ready to purchase’ post here in case one of my readers wants an Aussie Bush image for their wall or Christmas offerings.
…
And…speaking of Christmas…
A friend suggested to me yesterday that I should make a calendar of bush photos…
What do you think?
Would it be something you might put on a Christmas list?

Best wishes on your photo sales! Congrats to winners. Bush Babe calendar sounds like a wonderful idea. I love to give calendars for Christmas, they are something EVERYBODY needs at that time of year. Don't know much about the marketing aspect. Sounds expensive but could be a big success.

Yep. I would.
Cactus Jack Splash
Oh the fuzzy pony is cute. Reminds me of our Ginger, who had cushings, that crossed the bridge this September at 27 years old. She was a grand mare.
All the photos you take are wonderful. Good luck at your sale

I'd love a calendar – what a great idea. I think it's very cool that I have a "blog friend" in Australia. A country I'll always dream of visiting. I've truly enjoyed learning more about your homeland through your beautiful photos.

I'm glad you showed Cool Clear Water – it's one of my favorites and I forgot to mention it! I'm ashamed to admit my print is still sitting on a shelf, waiting for framing and tall, helpful SIL to put it up for me. Di is too preggers to do that task for me!
I love the idea of a calendar – I just received the one I ordered from Chickens in the Road. I've seen a calendar offered on another site, too. Suzanne used Cafe Press, and it came out beautifully.
Nancy in Iowa – a gray, drizzly day of 54F right now.

Thanks so much – I am now looking forward to looking at Smiling Ears on a regular basis! Great idea to have a calendar – I'd be one of many who would be lining up I'm sure – they would sell well. Would it be too early to put in a pre-order for 2010!?!?

Bush calendar sounds like a great idea!
