There are days when you could give it up, there are days when you could fly. You either love or hate it, depending on the score.


This one is about a month old. Ezra is playing footy.

I've got nothing more.

Sorry.

Kitty said…
oh what an expression?!?!?!
Ronda Laveen said…
I don't know about footy, but my dogs play growly face for hours.

"Do you love it? Do you hate it? There it is the way you made it."
Frank Zappa from his song-"Brown Shoes Don't Make It." Your opening quote made me think of this blast from the 70s past.

With a picture like this, you don't need any more.
Now there is a look of sheer determination..soon enough he'll be walking and running and kicking that ball around.
Baino said…
Haha that's a Billy Idol snarl if ever I saw one!
KL said…
Oh Man! Ezra really snapped at you for taking that pictures. What was he exactly telling you?
G. B. Miller said…
I don't know, I kind of like that Elvis sneer.
Priyanka Khot said…
Whoa he is angry... what did you do???
Kris McCracken said…
Hallam, Odette should join a team soon.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, he’s going hard at the pill, that’s all.
Kris McCracken said…
Kitty, he is hard at the ball, not the man.
Kris McCracken said…
Ronda, this one is “Up There Cazaly”, about as far from Zappa as I could possibly imagine.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, he’s rugged.
Kris McCracken said…
Evening Light Writer, destined to be a solid utility who can equally play front and back, with a spell on the ball when required. He reminds me of a young Tim Watson.
Kris McCracken said…
Baino, a rebel yell?
Kris McCracken said…
KL, he’s just focused on the ball, that’s all.
Kris McCracken said…
G, the ladies dig it.
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, he’s not angry, just in the zone.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
