Missing a tree somewhere. Usually 5 but the bedroom didn't get one this year.
Your son is so handsome! But your sideways pictures, eek. Have a good holiday, Mr. Grinch ...err Santa. :xD
Yea for some reason that happens when I load from my gallery. Should've just taken the pics instead of trying the gallery. I figured it would happen. And thanks for the comment about my son. He's the one that looks like me. The other looks like one of his sisters.
My shirt for today! Merry Christmas!
He’s gonna break a lot of hearts! So now I can guess what you look like without the beard!
Hope you and the family had a great holiday today. 
Looks like a decent fishing spot. You throw a line in mate?Seaford pier. 6am. Before the heat.
Currently somewhere above 105°F.
Rain expected about 9pm, cooling down to 60s F.
Hot here in the central district still. Just had a big lightning storm, power not going on for a few hours and heard some sirens. Wish the change would hurry up and get here.
No. But, I do see fishermen. There was a small group of presumably high school graduates at the end of the pier this morning. And I've watched fish swimming past
Nice looking spot. What do you fish for there Rob? Bass?
I love my trout fishing, though its a bit hot for that here right now. Hoping to go somewhere in the next week or two and have a go for some English perch or one of our natives Yellowbelly.
@Smigo yes I fish for bass! The pic is Albert Falls but I fish all the dams in KZN and have fished a few of the Cape dams and the Vaal river and Renosterkop in Gauteng.
Oh, Sth Africa, I had to Google those names. Wow. I once had a friend from there who told me of fishing for Tiger fish. Are they where you are? They have some serious teeth those things. It sounds like you are in fishermans Paradise. Nile perch too, those things are huge. They look a little like our Barramundi I reckon.
Great stuff mate. Looking forward to seeing some of your catches.

We have Tiger Fish about 4 hours North up the coast at Josini Dam. No Nile Perch here... you have to go North a long way to find them.
I used to bass fish competitively and was involved in the admin of the sport on various committees. I got my provincial colours and my National Colours managing the team to Spain a few years ago. Sold my boat a year ago and took a break... but the little green fish called me again so I bought another boat and now fish socially!
Here is my 4,2kg PB.
Nice one, top fish there. Bet you were happy to get that one on board. Can't beat that feeling can you, see how big it is, fight goes on, think "please stay connected, please" then you have it.
Me and the youngest
I swear you look so young. I've forgotten what it's like to look that fresh and I'm only 39. Lol.
Won't be long til that's not all you forget
Thank you lol! I feel so old actually!
Beautiful plant Rob. I take pictures of our wildflowers here too.
Here's one I love to see when the season arrives. Just dont ask me its name.
Im an observer, not a botanist.

I'm also an Observer! That photo I took was a flower I have never seen before and it hides itself and I had to turn it upside down to take the pic... it's camouflaged in the bush and I was lucky to find it.
crocus? maybe? early spring flower, usually one of the first after winter?Beautiful plant Rob. I take pictures of our wildflowers here too.

Hi mate. I have no idea what it is. They are really small, probably half the size of an old Aussie 1 cent piece, close to it. You could walk through the bush where I am and not even notice them unless you were walking head down looking. I do it each year, taking the pictures, for old folk I visit in hospital. Most are almost micro in size
no not tbe oldies, but having lived and worked for 30 years in the bush of Vic I know what to look for. I then show them in the old folk home the pictures on a huge big screen TV. I also take wildlife pictures too for them. I get to do so because as a hobby for decades I have been a gold prospector. Do less of that now and more of give back to the community by doing the other. Not all I do is showing them photos, lots is visiting them and spending time with those that are bed ridden and lonely and just being a friend and showing them that they are not forgotten, that someone cares. If I'm lucky enough, someone may do the same for me one day. Now, after typing this thinking it was a reply to the picture I posted, it'll be my luck you meant Robs. Either way mate, it's all good.

That’s such a lovely thing to do for the old folks. If you’re prospecting, come to the Wood thread that Manny started. I think he’s gone Treasure of the Sierra Madre this year.
How’re the heat and fires doing in Australia? The photos are beautiful of the flowers!
apparently some species of parrot, and other critters, are likely to be only the captive populations left after habitat loss. Probably none in the wild at all
That’s sad. What’s happening all over Australia is really depressing. By the time their habitat could be restored, there probably wouldn’t be any of them surviving. I’m sorry to hear that.
Hi, yeah, today is nice and cooler than the past several but the smoke is pretty bad so we have blocked all the wall vents in the house off. Would love to open the windows and doors but even though we've had it thicker this lot seems more acrid and makes you cough. We are ok where we are so far. Sad stuff elsewhere though. So many people have lost their homes, another two people today died in a fire on Kangaroo Island.
@robfisher
Thought Id share one of my best brown trouts. 7lb Got on a Berkley soft plastic.
And yes I got eaten. Love trout.

I hope they can do something or that the weather cools off some. There’s so much strange stuff happening all over the planet, though.
Glad that you found VU, though!
You’re lucky you can eat the fish you catch. In the States, we have to be concerned with pollutants everyplace because our gov’t doesn’t care, as long as they’re making money. :smh:
Edit: do they have fish n chips made from cod in Oz?
Fish n chips is typically gummy shark (flake) here
Oh well. I know they’re not using cod so much in England. I figured maybe where you are they did.
Sorry for the silly questions, but we don’t hear about these things here at all.
I once ordered fish and chips on a drive home once, had them on the seat cooling a bit as I drove. Took a bite of the fish, supposedly Snapper, and having fished for years for both fresh and saltwater fish it was no way a saltwater fish. Im gussing it was some tasteless freshwater garbage fish imported from Asia. Was too far driven to go back and argue over a bit of fish.
It’s lovely the way China is getting in on the act everywhere here, too. They’re producing fake eggs and some veg. :wth:
The salmon here is really high in mercury, so although folks still eat it, I wouldn’t touch it! Plus most other larger fish available here.
Fake eggs and veggies? How bizarre! As long as it dont get to Soylent Green stage.
