This is the moon. Have I mentioned how much I adore the zoom on my camera? It's Theme Thursday you see, and after last week's limp effort, I have been thinking about how I might redeem myself. Then I clicked on the topic and discover that it was BUTTON. We've been hearing a lot about the moon in the past couple of weeks. Apparently some fellas went up there and played golf and what-not forty-odd years ago. The desire to get to the moon, however, was not simply about enhancing opportunities for Meg and Mog titles and skirting local planning by-laws in the construction of new and innovative golf courses.

Hope you had a good Sunday.

The human loss in Australia because of the bushfires is unfortunate, though.
I hope we learn to be more responsible towards our environment.
You do hope that from these kinds of events people come out the other side having learned a thing or two.
