The strongest is never strong enough always to be master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty.


I just really, really, like this photograph.

It IS eye catching - they're both sooo cute and adorable!

To answer your question on my blog post today, it was inside & yes, there were crocodiles! hehehe
As a matter of fact, two VERY LARGE albino crocs! We couldn't believe how big they were. But space they were in wasn't large enough if you ask me. They barely had enough room to turn around, much less swim around. But, I guess the aquarium people know what they're doing better than I!!!
A wonderful photo of your lovely children accompagnied with such true words!!

They are lovely - this is a gorgeous photo. Ezra looks very knowing in this shot - I'd love to know what he was thinking!

Ms. Hays, I thought it looked like crocodile territory. Henry is a fan of the wee beasties.

Blognote, they are certainly a pair of aces!

Louis, they’ll have to start thinking of a X-mas record for fan club members.

MurciaDailyPhoto, thanks!

Priyanka, I knew that you’d like that one.

April, B&W did seem appropriate.

Jackie, I’d imagine that he’s thinking about breasts. Like many men, they do seem to occupy his mind quite a bit of the time. I like how he is looking at me, and Henry is looking at Jen who is just off to the side.

I'm running out of superlatives for your kids and your photography.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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
