ABC WEDNESDAY and the letter R

What better R word than RIVER...but I am not sure whether you can see the RIPARIAN buffer...that is a new word I learnt during the week (pertains to river and creek banks)! This is the Brisbane River at Mandalay.

The ROADS are important R words.


ROOVES are important too. They help to keep out the RAIN...there are quite a few people in Brisbane tonight who wish they had a roof over their heads. Not only the homeless, but those who lost their rooves in the storm on Sunday night!



RETRIEVERS are handy too sometimes!


I enjoy READING...do you?


and RAINBOWS..everyone likes rainbows, I think!



REFLECTIONS are always interesting!



so are ROCKS...always fascinating.



more old corrugated rooves of Brisbane.




and the REGATTA hotel is a local landmark at Toowong that I forgot to include on my world post the other week.


The RIVER Hudson from the ROOFTOP barbeque in New York.



The scrub turkey loves RAKING my leaves for his nest!


What are they doing at the local RAILWAY station?



ROBBIE loves RAKING the leaves too!



ROBBIE seems to be sorting the sheep from the goats?


Our REDEEMER is RISEN...


these ROSES are exquisite.



RAILWAYS are handy for shifting people...kids like them too....


Watch out for the ROOS on the road as you drive....



RACKETS are a popular item in the family....



ROBBIE stops to RELAX for morning tea!


the RAIN approaches....

RIPARIAN BUFFER!!! My Baby Sister's Friend used that term this week...she would be thrilled to know it is being used across the ocean on your blog.

Also, although I can't load all of the photos (I wonder if blogger just can't handle cross-continental blogging), the third one down is one after my heart. The symmetrical shapes and clean lines. I love it!!
