Miss. Isabel's Gentlemania

An ode to the redoubtable Miss. Isabel Violet Franklin as she skips through the vast fields of rambling gentlemen and blooming suitors with her ever-expandable 'males only' butterfly net, sweeping them to her bosom and....(CUT-CEASE-STOP)

Note from Miss. Isabel: I have taken this opportunity to edit this ode-ity scribbled by writers and persons 'unknown' to me, and to re-establish my propriety and good name before the aforementioned scribblers venture any further in their literary explorations.

I would also wish them to take note that 'Daddy' funds this 'den of Bohemians' and does not approve of mention of bodily parts in any shape or form...and especially if they should be that of my own (humph!)!!

Miss. Leonora's First Solo Flight

Now before you are all reaching for your 'Birdwatcher's Field Guide to Australian Birds' let me assure you this is not at all avian. This is Miss. Leonora testing Professor Hedgewick's patent 'Stretchy-rope-swing-thingy' for the first time between two of the 3 Sisters at Echo Point recently.

Braving the elements, and who knows what else, she ascended the human support ladder that the Professor had kindly assembled from bedazzled onlookers and rested her posterior in the 'Stretchy-rope-swing-thingy' and began to swing rhythmically aided by the exuberant sounds of the Katoomba Police Brass Band.

From there it was all plain sailing, or swinging as it were, and these images tell their own story.

However, I do have my doubts about whether the following images are also ones of Miss. Leonora or of a passing fruit bat trying its hand. or rather wing, on the Professor's amazing invention! I shall leave it up to the viewer's individual musings.
