It's gorgeous...

Okay...that's my outburst for the day.

Like the file name says. On the sink.jpg.

I came in from shopping, put the ecco friendly shopping bags on the sink, and came back down from the ceiling when my heart had calmed down.:)

My trusty walking stick got him. Whack whack, real fast. He never knew what hit him.
Snakes are Okay outside where they belong, but, not in my kitchen.

We've come across them sunning themselves on the tracks, too. We just drive around them and leave them be.

Seen plenty of snakes. When I was a kid down at Hume Weir in the mid-Fifites, dad was often called upon to collect snakes that were in the backyards - I seem to recall they were often tigers. Also saw a lot as a kid when we used to run around and [play in the bush. Since I've become an adult, the frequency of seeing them has diminsihed. I saw a few inside the buildings when I worked at Ceduna (black) and Carnarvon (dugites). Also seen a few sea snakes when diving.

Redbacks - crikey, too many to even consider counting but never a funnelweb in the wild, only reptile parks, etc.

Sharks? Only when diving and only non-aggressive ones.
