"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. "


I am a big fan of the changing of the seasons. The shift from summer into autumn - with winter peeking its head over autumn's shoulder - is a great time of year. Here you can see the mist slowly rolling over the hills at the back of Geilston Bay.

Thank You Samuel Morse

Again another great title. And of course a great shot of the picture. I think it was going to look more beautiful if the clouds had some definitions, but I think these clouds didn't have any.
Summer to autumn is my fave!

KL, the light is also very low at this time of day, meaning less reflection on the clouds and mist.

Diva, we've yet to hit that fantastic light that comes with Autumn, but I am ready and armed with my camera for when it arrives!

It looks awesome in picture. I can only imagine what you must have felt on seeing it in person.

Mists are generally alluring as if they are hiding something in their midst.

And yes, the picture looks more like a painting with colour still wet!!!!

I am a big fan of change in season but the bouts of cold and cough and slight fever that accompany the shift bother me.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, maybe the feelings it evoked in me were tempered bay the fact that I was heading for the bus stop to go to work!
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, we've had some good ones lately.

Priyanka, may this year be free of colds!

Sorry about that!!! It happens to most of us. That is why I am a stringent believer of "Stopping and Smelling the Roses!!!" (I know it is not the right phrase but I am sure the meaning comes across).

Yamini, I hate going to work. I need an wealthy elderly lady to pay me money to listen to her ramble and stuff.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

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

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
