So I spent the afternoon making our front entrance look a bit nicer. I love the colours. I also managed to find pots that match the colour of our front door exactly.

And while I was potting the plants, these 2 Singaporean Air Force chinook helicopters flew over. The Singaporean Defence Forces are here completing Exercise Wallaby. They carry out these training exercises here in Rockhampton every year. I am bit of a plane nut and am about to go watch the new 787 Dreamliner land at Rockhampton for the first time. I will post some more photos later.

This is not something that happens every day here in Rockhampton. We only see these planes when there is a military training exercise occurring.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Thanks for posting the pics of the man-made birds! The 787 is a beautiful aircraft, and the ANZ livery is one of the most creative!! Nice video, I can almost smell the jet-fueled exhaust! A very distinctive feature of newer airliners is the crisp beacon-flash associated with LEDs.

Fully agree! Love the tone of that new series of engines!

I really loved this, mostly (or especially) because of your wonderful photography. I'm not a plane or gadget person, but you made them beautiful. Love your porch-coutour, too!

Scott... man-made birds... love that!
