The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.


So that's the last of them, and hopefully I will have relaxed by the time this goes up. Which did you like best? I'm happy for the feedback, as it might sharpen my eye for what draws people's eye and what might not.

Is the woman in the hat taking photos of the place still there? She seemed like she was settling in for the month on Sunday...so many pictures she took (if there was any film in t'camera, I wasn't sure)

I like the one you posted at 4:30, the second one down from the top. It has more color and movement, somehow.

Hope you've gotten over whatever it was! :-)

Yep, the third one.
It's the clarity of the light, the crispness of the reflection and the drama of the contrast of the dark clouds.
Although, I think the first one nearly works.

I think I like this fourth one the best. I like when the photographer is brave enough to take a picture that is mostly either sky, with the ostensibly interesting bit right at the bottom, or this one where the interest is at the top, but then there's the load of water and the reflection.

But it looks like I'm in a minority here :)

Miles, I’m not sure that I am familiar with that woman!

Saretta, that seems to be the winner, and no, I have gotten even angrier about it. If people knew what I know, they’d all be as mad as hell too! (Or they should be!)

FF, that does seem to be the consensus pick.

Jackie, that is probably my favourite on reflection too. I do like to mess about with form and composition. Typing that, I’ve decided to go with my gut and post a very radical choice for my photo today!

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
