A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - K is for Knockers and a Kookaburra

 As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest, these could be lumped into a "peculiar category" ie. they are peculiar to my interests and may be different from what one usually sees in a collection of travel photos.

For the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in 2025 my theme is Peculiar Pics. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Peculiar Pics from my digital albums. These will be sourced from my travels between April 2024 to March 2025.

I have previously shared images of knockers on this blog here  and am delighted to have found a whole new set of knockers from our most recent year of travel. Please take a look.

A walk around Cadiz, Spain provided an opportunity to snap many knockers

A kookaburra is a native Australian bird. Here is a picture of one hiding in a tree in our backyard.

When we were window shopping in Cassis, France we came across a Kookabarra in a patisserie. Although it was tempting we resisted the urge to try it.

  1. I wonder why the patisserie named the pastry the Kookaburra?

  2. When away in a city I always take note of the door knockers. I saw very unusual ones in Spain. You have a great collection here. A pastry Kookaburra. That's unusual.

  3. I often take photos of doors, windows, and gates when we travel but admit not many of knockers. These are great!

  4. I’d have had to try the kookaburra out of curiosity. So many knickers but I don’t much like the hand ones, they give me a “death” vibe.
