I think all you readers deserve something interesting after my erratic posting. I’ve been working obsessively on my first Uni assignment and submitted it today, so I should have some time to myself before the next one rolls around.
Anyway this photo was taken at a farm located in a little locality called Struck Oil, which is just near Mt Morgan and Bouldercombe. Struck Oil sits right on top of the Mt Morgan range, so we had a steep and winding drive to get up there from the Bouldercombe direction. I’m getting a bit ahead of myself though.
My sisters (all below 13) have always wanted a horse, but recently they started looking seriously. They found one in the Handy Trader that sounded good, so we arranged to go and see the horse. By this time we were pretty committed to buying it, so that’s exactly what happened.
While the lady was showing my sisters the horse and stuff, I took a few photos of the many animals walking around. This turkey was amazing, he had a strange deep call that seemed to roll around inside him like an echo or vibration. You really have to hear it to understand properly. This is my favourite shot of him.
By the way, the horse, who is called Diamond or Diamontina, was delivered to us this afternoon. I should have some photos up of her in a few days.

What an amazing looking bird Jylan, he is really parading for you. Well taken. What is it with young girls and horses?… they seem to be drawn to each other, with the boys it’s probably going to be a trail bike instead….lol….Alan
Good luck with your assignment, you seem to be very capable and focused, so you probably don’t need luck.
Hey Alan,
Thanks for your comment, and glad you like the picture.
Yeah I know, girls and horses are drawn to each other like magnets. I don’t have any other brothers though so there’ll only be one motorbike if I end up getting one

The first assignment in the web design course I’m doing (at Curtin University via Open Universities Australia) was the hardest I think for me personally, it involved a lot of researching and stuff which isn’t necessarily about design. I think the last two will be easier, I get to build a website for them
