I decided to go with a car theme for this challenge as I have been taking a lot of pictures of cars lately which are all different colours. Here are some of them.
The Holden Statesman is Brown
This Mustang is Blue
My Wazza is Burgandy
This vintage car is British Racing Green
The Wolseley is a nice shiney black.
This P T Cruiser is a Brilliant Blue
The old Buick is Battleship Grey.
The Tasmanian Transport Museum is located in the suburb of Glenorchy on the old railway line that used to run from Hobart through the northern suburbs. Part of the right of way has been converted to a cycle track. For me it is an hour and a quarter on the bus to Hobart and then a short trip fifteen to twenty minute trip on a Metro bus to the bus interchange at Glenorchy and a five minute walk from there.
Former rail line turned into Cycleway.

Far Out! I have been completely stuck on this one. I nearly hurt myself trying to think of things that were AP. I even got my dictionary out. Well in the end I found some but they are boring apples and stuff like that. I had wanted to go appendix but could not find one single book with one in it. They all had “index” or “contents” I could not find a statue of Apollo or my apron anywhere either. This is what I ended up with. I sure hope the next one is easier. I ended up taking a photo of the computer with images starting with A P. Hope it’s not cheating.

On Saturday I visited the Hobart Model Train Show and of course all the exhibits there are small but some are really small. The smallest layouts at the show were the ones entered in the “A4 Challenge”.
The A4 Challenge – build a railway themed scene no larger than a sheet of A4 paper.
Tiny people and tiny accessories.
A tiny road gang
Freight loads for tiny trains.
I love photographing the miniature scenery nearly as much if not more than the trains.
A lovely little town in miniature.
There were also some miniature traction engines on display and while these are considerably bigger than the model railway layouts they are small compared to the real thing.

This week’s challenge has been more than usually challenging as it has not stopped raining here since Tuesday, apricots are not in season and I ate the last apple in the house yesterday. Time to think outside the square.
First I jumped in my time machine and travelled back to April. I’m sure it is no surprise to anyone that my calendar features trains.
Back to April
Oops I went too far! These apples were from April last year.

Hastily returning to the present I searched for more items. Here is one from the freezer and another from my bookshelves.
Frozen apple strudel
A book about patchwork and applique.
Finally a quick hop to the Op Shop or at least to my Op Shop photo file turned up some kitchen appliances. What a good thing I am always taking pictures of the stock.

Today I have a few more pictures I took on my walk around Sacred Heart Catholic School and St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Geeveston. I found some great which ways there.
At the back of the cemetery is a path that I thought must be lead to another part of the school property. Apparently I’m not the only person who thought so. It is private property and most likely it is part of the farm that I can see behind my house. The owners decided that they needed to make that clear.
OK I get it! I won’t go in there. The path in the next picture does not seem to have a great deal of use. It runs roughly along the boundary between the school and the power sub station next door. I usually walk this way to visit the cemetery as it is closer to my house.

This path was obviously intended for bike riding.
Undulating track for the kids to ride their bikes on.
I’m not sure if this path was intended for bikes or walking/running.
