This will hurt me...

Get some rest in Henry. It's going to be a big day tomorrow...

Cumulus cloud. As seen from Clifton Beach. December 2012. Wordless Wednesday.

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.

There's a touch of the Errol Flynn's about the little bloke here, don't you think?

Sharks patrol these waters.

Don't rock the boat Ezra. Get on with it!

I like to call this Big Henry in Blue .

As always, Ezra comes prepared...

A kelp forest. Calvert's Beach, South Arm Peninsula. January 2012. A merry Watery Wednesday to all on this cold and grey Summer morning in Tasmania! In order to avoid the dismal truth that what should be the sunniest season is looking like a damp squib today, today's photograph harkens back to a week or so ago and a beautiful morning of a balmy 22°C - at 8am - as we rounded the cliffs at Goat Bluff.

Note to eagle-eyed visitors: that is Goat Bluff (scene of today's earlier photo) in the background here.

Alles klar!

Just when the weather gets us back in to a position that encourages visits to the beach, we get another cold snap...

A hundred times one hundred metres. Every time he splits in over twelve seconds, I add another hundred. It's the only way that he'll learn.

It's a hard slog getting up that dune, but once you're there: the ocean!

Their legs must get tired. Little Howrah Beach. October 2011. Another Sunday means another Top Five. I have had the chance over the past month to give Chicago experimental rock combo Wilco 's latest album The Whole Love , and it is a cracker. All this has got me thinking, how might I narrow down their records thus far to a top five? Thus I have today's list, My Top Five Wilco Albums! First up I am ruling out a host of collaborations that are extremely worthy in their own regard. The two albums with Billy Bragg - Mermaid Avenue and Mermaid Avenue Vol. II - working over some found Woody Guthrie lyrics are quite the achievement. I am a Bragg fan, but the Wilco efforts blow his away. Well worth tracking down. I am also excluding Down With Wilco , the collaboration with The Minus 5 and the very interesting The Sun Came Out with Neil Finn. This leaves nine. The elimination was easy, as 2005's Kicking Television was immediately ruled out, as I'm not counting live albums (h...

Run Henry, RUN!
