Live out of your imagination, not your history.

Ezra can't jump puddles.

It's ok to grow up just as long as you don't go old. Face it, you are young.

They just about coped with the rain. Wait until we get them back into the snow...

The things hardest to bear are sweetest to remember.

Ice Cube or ice cube?

A photograph can look any way.

Honestly, this fella has taken to snorkelling like a... Like a... Well, like a... Like a Cousteau to water!

The society based on production is only productive, not creative.

It's raining again. East Derwent Highway, Geilston Bay. July 2012. Theme Thursday and I am stricken with CONFUSION. I am CONFUSed because I have the flu. I am CONFUSed that I have the flu even though I've had the flu shot. I am CONFUSed because CONFUSION is the natural order of things. I am CONFUSed that if you try to deliberately fail at something, and you succeed, which have you actually done? I am CONFUSed that things often don't go to plan. I am CONFUSed when people do things that I don't expect them to do. I am CONFUSed about the Higgs-Boson Particle. I am CONFUSed that if you expect the unexpected, doesn't that make the unexpected expected? I am CONFUSed about bacon ice cream. I am CONFUSed as to why so many people watch 'reality' competitive cooking television programs. I am CONFUSed that so many people act against their own interests. I am CONFUSed about countries who kill people who kill people to show people that killing...

At times it is folly to hasten at other times, to delay. The wise do everything in its proper time.

Blurry goose. Geilston Bay boat ramp, Geilston Bay. July 2012. Tuesdays mean another pilfered Q and A from Sunday Stealing! This week, the very appropriate The Too Tired to Think Meme, Part 1 ... 1. You have 10 dollars and need to buy snacks at a gas station. What do you get? Some apples, maybe some water. I’ll pocket the change. 2. If you were reincarnated as a sea creature, what would you want to be? A Great White Shark. 3. Who’s your favourite redhead? ‘Favourite redhead’. Now there is an oxymoron if I have ever heard one! 4. What do you order when you’re at IHOP? [Googles IHOP]. If I had been to the ‘IHOP’ (assuming that first I had heard of the ‘IHOP’), I think that I would order the ‘SIMPLE & FIT Fresh Fruit & Yogurt Bowl’ . 5. Last book you read? Swindled: The Dark History Of The Food Cheats by Bee Wilson. It’s a popular history of food adulteration. Fascinating stuff. 6. Describe your mood. Restrained. 7. Describe the last time you were injured...

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Who would have thought that large urinating squids could be so much fun? Well done Burnie City Council!

For the wretched one night is like a thousand; for someone faring well death is just one more night.

By this point, I'd given up on trying to keep Ezra dry.

Childhood is a promise that is never kept.

How he manages to smile like that when the water is so achingly cold is beyond me...

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

Don't go in the water Ezzie... Don't go in the water Ez... Don't go in the water Ezra... Don't get any more wet Ez... Don't get any more wet Ezra... Don't get any more wet Ezzie... We don't have a spare set of undies Ez... We don't have a spare set of undies Ezzie... We don't have a spare set of undies Ezra...

A journalist is a person who has mistaken their calling.

Mushrooms: the great all rounders. The Hastings Caves State Reserve, Southern Tasmania. June 2011. All right. Four things that you wouldn't know: 1: Henry says "va m illa" instead of "va n illa". 2: Ezra is seeming addicted to skin-on-skin contact. 3: Jen refused to blow her nose in front of me for a significant period of time after our [ahem] courtship . 4: I don't like eating in front of other people.

In any great organisation it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.

Henry, even your shadow is handsome! How do you do it?!?

Character is much easier kept than recovered.

Would you buy a beefcake calendar featuring these two beefcakes?

A celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well known, and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognised.

Henry teases those waves just a little too much with his hops and jumps. Consider it a lesson learned!
