Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Bicycles,Tricycles, Motorcycles, Wagons


Cycles

I took a lot of great pictures of the entries in the annual Scarecrow competition at Middleton. For several years in a row, David and I would drive down the Channel Highway, stopping so that I could photograph the scarecrows.  This one was from 2013.

These photos were taken in Hobart this morning. I went to town to have lunch with Ally and Matt and to see the first four Sydney Hobart Race yachts which had arrived earlier in the morning.

As it happened there were quite a few interesting motorcycles around the waterfront as well.

A Honda motorcycle parked outside a restaurant.

This next one I’m not too sure of the make but thought that I heard Matt say it was a Triumph.

This bike was also parked outside the restaurant.

I don’t know a lot about bikes but I’m willing to bet this is a Harley Davidson.

Finally, as I walked back towards Murray Street and the bus stop I spotted this Harley Davidson Trike giving rides.

Take a ride around the waterfront in this.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
