Autumnal

…toadstool…

…toadstool…

…toadstool….

…toadstool…(blue)….

…mmm…

…nature.

And Then There Was Two

…nope, never.

A Hole By Any Other Name

…would be as deep…

…screwing up our areas of natural beauty for minerals to sell overseas…

…would Nauru be too extreme an example to illustrate how this can end?

For Some Reason

…this makes think of the coming election…

 

…any and every coming election.

Now that I can Draw Waves

…I can put sharks in them…

 

….cant I ?…

…and then I could do it in colour…

 

 

…yes, Tony, yes you could.

(…hmmm…this urge to talk to your self on your own blog for all the world to see, can that be fixed?)

A Trail Of Notes To Self

..note to self…

 

…note to self…

 

…note to self…

 

…and eventually enough time to address those notes to self….

 

 

…have been fascinated with the way the Japanese draw waves for ages… reducing them to simple lines for wood cut or brush stroke… also intrigued by other folks take on the idea, the rabbits, the Mickey Mouse hands….

…might as well give it a whirl…

…when I’ve got time…

… must make a note to remind myself.

Point And Shoot

…and you stand a 50/50 chance of capturing a moment…

 

… or an artefact…

 

…or a critter…

 

…damn, wasn’t expecting that crab when I lifted his home up…

…the biggest of four living under the piece of detritus I moved…

…and not happy about the attention!

…the practical applications are endless…

…especially considering my up coming series…

…”Henges that didn’t survive the millennia”.

…(oh yeah….200 posts…woohoo!)

Handy Guide

…as we in the Southern hemisphere pass from Summer to Autumn I present this handy guide to our Northern hemisphere cousins, who may be tempted to brave the briny fluid with the promise of  warmer weather to come in their neck of the woods…

 

…or not, now that they’ve seen this.

Camouflage On The Beach

…last weekend was a bumper critter-watch weekend…

…as if seeing that huge pod of dolphins (& not seeing a whale) wasn’t enough…

…My good friend Dee and I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely lass…

…pretty sure she’s a sea lion but we’ve, neither of us, seen one this white before…

…absolutely gorgeous…

…but a little blurry ‘cos I don’t think she’s had much to do with humans and was very fidgety, even with us keeping to a very polite distance, so I was taking more notice of my escape route than keeping an eye on focus!!…

…those be pointy teeth!

…she was gone in a fairly short amount of time, again the lack of human “contact” may have been a major factor…and being Easter there was a lot more folk about than her beach-stay guide book may have indicated.
