This month the 12th began nearly two hours before I went to bed for the night of the 11th. I got back from a trip to Launceston, set up my computer, and it decided to have what looked like a terminal meltdown (this may have had something to do with the fact that it almost never […]

Dramatis persona*
Helen Chick
I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"! I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1! * Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona. Visits since May 2016 |
This one doesn’t exactly fit the rules (which are in my head, and are negotiable in any case), but it was taken on this week’s trip to Launceston. I headed up on Monday, and although the late evening light was lovely I was rather tired, and I didn’t have the energy to decide to stop! I […] Way too tricky for getting the right exposure with one shot, but you get the general idea. And with bonus “crepuscular rays”! 🙂 The full Moods of the Mountain collection […] I needed to go for a walk today (I’m trying — but failing — to average 10000 steps per day as part of a general health improvement regime), and so headed off for a brisk stroll around nearby Risdon Brook Dam. The miserable weather that had arrived earlier in the day was lifting and leaving a […] The paddocks on the plain just south of Tunbridge are forested with dead trees. I’ve been waiting for some good lighting or mist effects to highlight the eerie effect, but as I drove northward this week I thought about an alternative approach. I thought my little camera might have a built in “black and white” setting, […] One of the friends in the “Ann-the-awesome-hike-organiser-and-hub-of-the-friends” collection, who came on last year’s trip to the south-west of Tasmania, happened to be in Tasmania this week, and contacted me about catching up. I made a counter-offer, suggesting that we go for a walk on the mountain, and Roz jumped at the suggestion. We drove to the […] I don’t know what it is about the plant Hebe, but I’ve never liked it. Its flowers are pretty, and the leaves have a lovely symmetry to their arrangement, but for some reason it will never get onto my list of favourite plants. It is, in my books at least, botanically unlikeable. I enjoyed today’s Relief Society […] A little fuzzy and damp around the edges. The full Moods of the Mountain collection […] The last time I popped my Sky 2 CD into the stereo, opened the album sheet-music to Scipio and treated myself to 12 minutes of sheer unadulterated house-rocking, barn-storming, head-banging (not quite) joyful noise was back in September 2010 when I was living in Melbourne. Since then I have moved, and replaced the stereo. Tonight, I needed a dose […] A dappled morning mountain. The full Moods of the Mountain collection […] |
