Judy Evans I used to spend ages watching the kangaroos. I have dozens of photos too. Some are quite good but a lot are pretty ordinary.

The keeping quality of modern-day potatoes

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389302) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Oct 23

Isn't that a high-falutin' title? And the photo is of some butternut pumpkins/squash that I grew. I've only grown potatoes once or twice. When I was young, my parents had a farm and ‘town day’ was always Friday....

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389302) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Oct 23

Self-shedding sheep make life easier for the farmer

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389302) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Oct 23

The photo shows one of the self-shedding sheep at our last house-sit. There are several of these breeds in Australia now and they are gaining in popularity as, because the wool comes away of its own accord, the sheep don’t need...

Playing tug-of-war with Zoom

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389302) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Oct 23

A blue-and-white beanie for a friend
