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 |

[…] Hard to go wrong with silhouettes at sunrise. (This was just south of Oatlands at about 7:30am. The zoom on my little camera is at its full 90mm (20x) setting (camera wobble can be an issue at this focal length).

It has been a while between hikes for me and the last month or so has been ridiculously meeting-infested and so my fitness level was […] It was a chilly winter morning today, and the Bridgewater Jerry was doing its foggy drift down the river as the sun started to light the mountain. The photos in this sequence were taken about 6 minutes apart, between 7:25 and 7:37am. The full Moods of the Mountain collection is here. [There will be a blog entry for […] I had two trips northward this week, the second just for the day. Fortunately I wasn’t driving all the way; unfortunately, the only decent photo I took was out the car window when we’d almost reached our destination on the banks of the Tamar just north of Launceston (and so I’m not sure if this entirely […] It was a lengthier trip away this week: up to Penguin on Monday afternoon — with the first photo taken as the sun set behind me — and then a couple of days in Launceston before heading back south this morning — resulting in the final two photos catching the morning mist on a glorious day.
