Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.


Here is a photo from a few months back of Jen attempting to hypnotise Ezra. I've had to dip into the unpublished stock again, because I fear that the recent crop of photos feature cranky, tired and snot-covered dirt magnets, which is not at all the image the world wants or needs to see of Tasmania.

Thus, until they sharpen up their acts, you'll have to put up with this lot where theu are adorable, photogenic and/or smiling for the camera!

Geez, wasn't he small. Not to mention very good looking.
Eye contact or at least a swinging watch. Isn't that how you hypnotise?

Hey, that's cheating!!!!

We want to see Henry and Ezra just the way they are, plzzzzzzz

Dirt magnets or not, they have become the apples of our eyes and we wouldn't want to miss any aspect of their growing years. So, dnt worry about the picture quality as long as it has Henry, Ez or both in it. :-))
they don't have to be perfect. Btw, Tag you're it. I left a little something for you. Come out and check it out.

there was a program on TV last night featuring Tasmania, and the "devils" and extinct Tasmanian Tigers. Now they are considering whether they are truly extinct or hiding in the depths of the rainforests. Any opinions or sightings?

Roddy, he is very handsome.

Yamini, no, I was being honest.

Liza, I am heading your way now.

Chris, they are dead as dodos, unfortunately. Given the effort spent to find one over the past 80 years, we'd have one by now.

It's sad that it took killing them all for people to realise that they actually nifty creatures.

DeeDee, hypnosis is fun!

You guys are so brave to have kids. Geez.

I've been wondering about children. I'm not sure I'm up to it.
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, I've got a few new ones, and plan some more for the weekend.

Kitty, you never know until you try. It's hard work.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
