Kayaked around here today with Harley. Still part of Pittwater but the lower part near Newport & Bayview. Saw boats that rival those in Fort Lauderdale plus we saw Wild Oats ( racing yacht-Sydney to Hobart ?) would love a boat but its not really that practical.How often would we use it ?

Another trip to the doggy park & I took this.
A dead white tree makes for a drastic contrast against the green richness of the other tree.

This blog was created for me to take a photo a day to learn & improve my photo skills. The past few weeks have been a trial in downloading, not getting to the computer for days & finally problems with my camera.
So I have made a decision in that a photo a day is too much to achieve so if I dont do a daily one - it is not the end of the world !
I will still carry my camera everywhere & endeavour to take a picture a day but I cannot get stressed about it if it doesn't happen. Far too many other things in my life to get stressed about...........
I took this photo whilst taking the dogs for a walk with Daisy - I threw balls for the dogs & she climbed all over this Moreton Bay Fig, the sun was shining through & I thought she looked a little ethereal as if emerging from the huge roots of the tree.

Downloading my photos is taking way too long ! Sometimes it loads in seconds & sometimes its like today where it still hasn't loaded the photo after 25 mins and 5 tries. Very fickle.
