Who what now? Royal Botanical Gardens, Hobart. September 2012. I love you all. Honestly. I Love You , Sara Teasdale When April bends above me And finds me fast asleep, Dust need not keep the secret A live heart died to keep. When April tells the thrushes, The meadow-larks will know, And pipe the three words lightly To all the winds that blow. Above his roof the swallows, In notes like far-blown rain, Will tell the little sparrow Beside his window-pane. O sparrow, little sparrow, When I am fast asleep, Then tell my love the secret That I have died to keep.

Art? Lindisfarne Bay, Lindisfarne. September 2012. A Room with a View by E. M. Forster: Repressed Edwardian culture. Sharp sketch of the stupidity of the upper classes and the effects of shifting mores. Good stuff. B+

A flushed Hun pulls a face along the Manly Beach Promenade up in Sydney. There will be a few shots of sin city over the next few weeks. I took a few!

Ball in focus. Casino as seen from Marieville Esplanade, Sandy Bay. Theme Thursday again and I'm being asked 'WHAT'S COOKING?'! "WHAT'S COOKING?", I ask myself. WHAT'S COOKING? indeed! Mischievousness, that's what! Casino in focus. Casino as seen from Marieville Esplanade, Sandy Bay.

Rebel without a point?

Oh dear. Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay. August 2012. Wordless Wednesday.

I think that he strikes me in this photograph as a little Napoleon trapped on St Helena...

Ramus. St David's Park, Hobart. July 2012. A belated Q and A, again stolen from Sunday Stealing: The 88 Meme: The Last Part ! 69. Song you're thinking of right now? Even the Bad Times Are Good by The Tremeloes. 70. Want someone back in your life? Not particularly… 71. Will tomorrow be better than today? It is extremely unlikely. 72. What's the colour of the underwear you are wearing? Black, with a white waistband. 73. Who was the first best friend that you ever had? I’ve never really been a ‘best friend’ type of fellow. If I am honest, it would probably be my wife. 74. How do you react when someone disappoints you? Usually with disappointment. There’s a resignation to the fact that people generally let you down. 75. Is there anyone who understands your sexuality? I’m not even certain that I understand it! 76. Are you a naturally happy person? Or is your happiness forced? I don’t ‘force’ those moments that I am happy (or appear to be), but I woul...

The bells! The BELLS!

Carn the Bombers! Home, Geilston Bay. September 2012. As you know, the Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and RSS feeds.) The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning... What industry uses 30 billion watts of energy (the equivalent of the output of about 30 nuclear power plants), wastes 90% of that and pollute the environment by belching diesel exhaust, all while cloaked in near total secrecy? A clue? You're on it! Have an idea but not a word for it? You can bet that the Germans do! (It might even be eisenbahnknotenpunkthinundherschiebershäuschen ...) How to teach your child to love reading... The doctors prescribing the drugs don't know they don't do what they're meant to. Nor do their patients. The manufacturers know full well, but they're not telling. Ben Goldacre explains in The Guardian. Reconstruc...

Henry has a drink. Henry has a think. Henry find the link. Henry doesn't stink. Henry don't you wink. Henry on the brink.

Tulip. Royal Botanical Gardens, Hobart. September 2012. This Sunday Top Five I'm hungry visiting Hungary. Yes, it is my Top Five Hungarian Town Names (With Bonus Meanings In English)! Hódmezővásárhely : "beaver field market place." Székesfehérvár : "white castle with the seat". Nagybajom : "my big problem". Sátoraljaújhely : "new place under the tent". Békásmegyer: "frogs go 'r':.
