I thought it only fair with you that I share this image snapped during my lunchtime stroll along the sunny Derwent. How about this for a lovely summer sky?
The sun is obviously feeling a little like me today: struggling.
I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

I did not realize how wide the river is at Hobart. & I just can't get over that I get to see the view over the river during lunchtime in TASMANIA.
On one of my blogs, I am setting up co-contributors and I would be chuffed if you were to consider joining us. Here is the addy: http://one-hundred-strangers.blogspot.com/
It is pretty much explained there ... I am asking a number of other Australian blogger/photographers. I will totally understand if you decline as you are flat tac ... or if you wish to be added but sit on the sideline for a while ... just consider it ... please.
Lovely photos here, by the way. Hope you had a good New Years.
Doc
dunno how you do it with the lack of sleep. Please give people a sign before you go postal!
Tash, it is more an estuary than a river, to be honest. There has been some debate over the name!
Blognote, I am but an honest toiler in the fatherhood stakes.
Julie,thank you, and I will keep it in mind. I am quite shy about photographing random strangers, so will have to overcome that fear!
Abe, it is impressive.
Doc, it should be warming up for the weekend. I had a quiet New Years, which is always a good New Years!
Ann, 40 is just TOO hot!
Kitty, you just do it. Thankfully I don’t operate heavy machinery at work.
