Post one favorite photo you took (max 1 per day) with some details.

My home grown chemical free apricots ( even the tree is only watered with rainwater ) I’ve just put out to dry ,they will take 5-6 days to dry depending on how hot it is.
This is 10 kg of fresh fruit which will yield about 3 kg of dried fruit which we use for snacks .
I cover them with a very fine cloth to keep insect pests at bay which are never a problem it’s just a precaution.

When I saw the shoes worn by the fellow in the black & white photo, circa 1923, I just had to get a pair. There's a shoemaker that I know who has made many a vintage style shoe for me. He didn't disappoint and the reaction to them range from jocular, as in: "When did they come back in style?" To complimentary. "Where did you get those fabulous shoes?"

Ebenezer Church, Australia’s oldest church and school building, established in 1809. Ebenezer is a historic town in New South Wales, close to the Hawkesbury River, 69 kilometres north west of Sydney. Governor Bligh (yes the same man involved in Mutiny on the Bounty) had a farm overlooking the Hawkesbury River. The settlers were loyal supporters of Governor Bligh, who promoted their welfare as the colony’s food producers. The land along the river was rich and ideal for feeding the hungry colony.

……..But on the 26th January 1808, the officers of the Rum Corps under Major Johnstone and Lieutenant Bell marched on Government House Sydney where they seized the Governor and placed him under house arrest, declared a state of martial law to exist, and freed Macarthur from the Sydney jail where he was awaiting trial. He was carried by a drunken mob through the town. This has been variously described as a coup d’état, a rebellion, an uprising or an insurrection, although the usual description at the time was a usurpation (according to its opponents) or the overthrow of a tyrant (according to its supporters)…..
