This will hurt me...

Keep working Henry, nearly at the top...

Beautiful blossoms!

What's Ezra doing out there?

Sunday stroll. Gellibrand Point, South Arm Peninsula. June 2013. Wordless Wednesday. Family portrait. Gellibrand Point, South Arm Peninsula. June 2013. Hen and Ez lead the way. Gellibrand Point, South Arm Peninsula. June 2013.

Sunshine on my shoulder in my eyes makes me happy kind of annoys me.

Ezra and I (in shadow). Geilston Bay Road, Geilston Bay. April 2013. This week sees me stealing another series from Sunday Stealing: The Meme From Memphis (part two) . Have any memories that you’d like to forget? One or two. Is there someone you really like to hang out with and just talk about stuff? There's a couple. Have you ever been called prince or princess? Only in jest. Do you think teenagers are weird? No weirder than anyone else. How fast does your mood change? It has been known to turn on a five cent coin. How are you feeling? Pretty ordinary. Do you want someone to call you right now? Not particularly. What do you always take with you? A camera. Is your bed comfortable? Indeed it is! Would you say you’re an understanding person? I am capable of great understanding, but do have a firm sense of right and wrong. Are you generally a happy person? I make some effort to be. I think that I've been at my happiest over the past couple of y...

The boys psychologically prepare themselves for the Mother's Day Classic.

Walk on Henry. Walk on.

The darling buds of May #1. Derwent Avenue, Lindisfarne. May 2013. This Theme Thursday brings with it a MYSTERIOUS selection of philosophical musings from a seried of over-educated ignoramuses. The first asserts "I do not know what I am: I am not what I know." The second, "But if cattle and horses or lions had hands, or were able to draw with their hands and do the works that men can do, horses would draw the form of their gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make their gods' bodies resemble their own." The first retorts, "When the danger is so great that death has become the hope, then despair is the hopelessness of not being able to die." "Quite", I said. The darling buds of May #2. Derwent Avenue, Lindisfarne. May 2013.

Ezra managed 4.5 kms in a couple of hours strolling. A good effort.

Oh buoy. Geilston Bay. April 2013. Sunday Stealing: The 5000 Question Meme, The Final Part Two 86. Name one thing that turns your stomach: Rampart inequity. 87. What was the last thing you paid for? Some apples. 88. Are you a coupon clipper? No, but I am open to the concept. 89. Get anything good in the mail recently? Nobody sends me anything. 90. Which would you rather take as a gym class... dancing, sailing, karate, or bowling? Of that selection, probably sailing. 91. In Star Trek people 'beam' back and forth between different places. What this means is they stand in a little tube and their molecules are deconstructed and sent to another tube somewhere else where they are reassembled. Only problem is when the molecules are deconstructed the person is dead. When they are put back together it is only a clone that has all the dead person's memories. Is the person who gets beamed the same person on both ends? Ummmmmmm... Perhaps... [Slowly moves toward th...

Hats are critical. But then again, so is seeing where you're going...

Game, set and match. Geilston Bay Tennis Club, Geilston Bay. March 2013. Wordless Wednesday.

Is it still a maypole in March?

I ain't gettin' on no scooter.

'er indoors outdoors. Bellerive Esplanade , Bellerive. January 2013. A tricky Theme Thursday this week: CONFESSIONS. CONFESSIONS? Here are my CONFESSIONS... 1) I don't rate dogs. 2) If someone tells me I'm "nice", I don't take it as a compliment. 3) I think that people that enjoy the television show Friends must be a bit simple in the head. 4) If I can bring myself to forgive, I really don't forget. 5) Even though it probably isn't true, sometimes I am convinced that collectively, human beings have entered their highest stage of stupidity over the past fifteen years. 6) I have been known to truncate a storybook in the evening to ensure a quicker transition to bed. 7) Sometimes if I say, "It's not you, it's me", I really mean "It's definitely you". 8) Inwardly I judge people who take the elevator rather than the stairs very harshly. 9) I'm more offended by Lord Monckton's supremely rotte...

SHAG BAY!

Guess who just got told off?

He doesn't even show caution on the downhill curves!

Kookaburra. Knocklofty Reserve, Mount Stuart. January 2012. Tasmania has 19 National Parks . I was happy to revisit two this past week, which is a beautiful segue into today's Sunday Top Five : The Fourteen National Parks That I Have Visited [Thus Far] In Tasmania ! Freycinet National Park : Henry and Ezra managed the Wineglass Bay walk, swim included. Only one of them managed to make it up the mountain on the way back without being carried....
