18. Boxing cats

So it's not boxing kangaroos this time it's boxing cats. Timmy had a visitor, Milo, Carey and Nic's kitten. Milo chased Timmy around and wanted to play. Timmy had had enough and layed around while Milo would box him. Then they would roll around on the floor together. Timmy made the most noise with lots of meows. Of course Milo still has to learn some table manners and Timmy was quite disgusted to see Milo on the table and the bench at one stage. "Young cats these days have no manners," thought Timmy.

14. White Agapanthas

There are not many flowers that survive in my garden. The agapanthas are lovely and flower in summer after Christmas at my house. You can also get blue agapanthas. Some of the agapanthas haven't flowered. I wonder why? Do they need to be fed?

I have added young gum tree leaves to the vase also. It's my new vase. A triangular vase. I like the plain straight lines of the vase.

7. Boxing Kangaroos

Boxing Kangaroos

The boxing kangaroos were in my paddock this morning and again tonight. This photo was taken with my sony video with 60xoptical zoom. It was way down the back of our paddock probably 200metres away. I had trouble holding the camera still when I took the shot. I'll have to get a tripod.

These fellas were at least 7 feet tall or over 2 metres in metric. You wouldn't want to cross their paths as they can rip you to pieces with their claws. However from a distance they are wonderful to watch. They gracefully bound away and can jump over a 2 metre fence if needed. I have added a small piece of video so you can see some action.

Kangaroos are marsupials which are mammals with a pouch. Baby kangaroos are called joeys and a group of kangaroos is called a mob.

1. My running track

I run each day uphill and down dale through the Australian bush. Sometimes kangaroos, wallabies and foxes cross my path. Elmo my dog attempts to chase them but is commanded to come back to me. He will come to me if it's a kangaroo or wallaby but if it's a fox Elmo runs and is gone in a flash chasing the fox later to meet me along the bush track. Sometimes Elmo is put on the chain if he runs off.
