Sydney, in my opinion, offers some of the best photography at night, with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House dominating the skyline of course... But, looking across Farm Cove from Mrs Macquaries Point or Fleet Steps, the city skyline offers some great reflections on the water.
Similarly, on the Thames in London, the London Eye and the London Museum also offer a great view.

Ok, this was a bit of a 'no brainer' for me, cause what do I like thats green...? Lawns and Gardens!! So I went out after mowing the lawns, and I shot some of my front lawn (macro style) which has a predominant Buffalo (Stenotaphrum secondatum) coverage. There is a bit of Couch and Kikuyu as well :( !
I also ventured into the side garden where the Seaside Daisy (Erigeron glaucas) is going slightly rampant - so it may need removal ALL together!!
And in the front bed, where the Roses are, I spotted this little fella budding up...

Ok, for the keen eyes around, you might see something a littler weird in this pic, I don't care as I still need to clean it out, but I've selectively shot this photo this way because of it!!

Tonight, I went and saw the movie 'Gone', which was a thriller (of sorts), and the movie was ok. There was some instances that were somewhat questionable as to its 'realism', but in all, a good movie. If you've NOT seen it yet, I would wait for the DVD version and see it that way, as I was a little let down...

In late breaking news, my best mate B and his wife K, announced the safe arrival of baby J, a younger brother to B & S. Well done guys, I am so happy for you!!

This is a somewhat rare shot, not of my shoes, but of my cat Jasmine sitting at my feet!!! She normally doesn't want to be anywhere NEAR me (she was more of L's cat) unless she wants something, which is generally food!!!

Hmm... i think you know WHERE I work, but here's a clue....

I don't really have a 'have' photo, and I simply DONT take a good photo, so it has taken some time to find one I like...
It is the day of our wedding, December 17 2000... The photographer actually made us look INTO the sun for the shot, at the time, I hated it, but I can now see where/what he was after...
Today, a few friends and I went for a trip to Adelaide, just for the day, to have lunch. It was a great day, we drove out to Hahndorf, and then had lunch at the Glenelg Beach. I had the Salt 'n' Pepper Squid which was FANTASTIC!!!

Today, was a somewhat traumatic day in that the toothache from the weekend, got worse! I called my dentist on my way to work, knowing FULL well they would not be there, but it was just a message service and I had to call back after 8am. So I proceeded into work.
After I arrived, it wasn't too long a wait, when I called, I was given the first time slot, 8.30! I left straight away, and I was there in around 10-12 minutes, which in morning peak, wasn't a bad feat!
Anyways, cutting a long story short, I had two bouts of root canal on the day, some 6 hours apart, and it is now better. I DO have to go back Wednesday week and then the following week though for a fix and a crown respectively!
--------------------
But, today its all about handwriting, right? Well here is a sample of mine, from a meeting, where I was making my own notes from it. Its not very neat, I was hurrying after all, but, its my hand...

Sunday was spent, cleaning, gardening, using the pressure cleaner (again) on the back veranda, and I also did the front path that leads up to the front door, which is actually on the SIDE of the house! But, I digress...
But, the 'something you hate to do' is weeding, but I don't have a photo of me weeding as how can I get a photo of me doing something when theres just me?
BUT, what I can show you is of the back veranda all clean, and good looking all the same!
--------------------
I have had an ACHING tooth for the last couple of days, so I think it will be back to the dentist in the morning sometime! I had a filling a couple of months back, so I hope its not that playing up, as he said at the time, it was a difficult one to do...

Tonight, I actually thought about WHAT I wanted to do, and HOW I was going to do it! It just took a little while to get it all sorted!
I originally thought just a simple setup on the kitchen bench, but when I got that shot, it was not quite right. So I started to think where I might find some black things for a background! I eventually found a black tee-shirt, and whilst not right, it was adequate for the purpose. Anyway, here is a shot of the setup
Now I got a few shots first with the glass empty, and when satisfied, I got the ice and bourbon ready, and here is the result. I kinda like it for a quick setup, using limited resources!
--------------------
I also managed to get some photos of other things today, Bronty is coming along nicely, and a Crocus, Callistemon as well.

This is a screen shot, of yes the time, but also an artist I'm loving at the moment... Florence + the Machines was on a TV show a few months back, and she sang this song. It was powerful, yet when she spoke, she was very quiet and almost she - such a contrast!!
--------------------
Time, today, I was taken aback today with a message from a distant past!! Weird in nature, yet when challenged, retreated... Not sure why, perhaps a little perplexed (who knows) but I'm ok!
--------------------
Yesterday, AAS I was saying in FB, was good, really good, but time will tell! I am still a little intrigued by it all, but I will go with the flow for now!!
