This morning I felt utterly sad. I've lost someone whom I thought I could count as my friend of many years. But when I needed him, on a personal level, he proved me wrong. And it hurts.
I looked outside my window and I saw a Roe Deer buck approaching. Despite everything I grabbed the camera and went outside. The Buck came closer and closer while looking straight at me. When he reached our driveway he stopped and posed, perfectly framed by the old oak trees that line the path. Maybe a silly thing to say but it was as if Nature was trying to comfort me with its beauty. And it worked. It always works...
I'm going to say goodbye now for a short time. For 2 weeks, the beautiful Mala Mala Game Reserve in South Africa will be our home. Here you can find an impression of last year's visit. I know from experience that Mala Mala is the best place to be to recover from a hurt soul..
Oven roasted candied carrots, baked potato, braised cabbage and onion with smoked Turkey sausage, casings removed. When my appetite longs for home cooking, I do it my way.
It has been described as the golden age of railway travel which occurred at a time when it seemed that no expense was spared on passenger comfort, depending of course as to what Class you travelled.
It was the golden age era of steam trains.
Carriages were built using timber and the seats were more spacious and it was also the era when black and white framed photographs adorned the compartments promoting tourism to locations in each state.
Like everything though trains had to move forward with the times and the elegance of train travel came at a cost and that cost was the production of carriages that lost the old world charm and were mass produced and built down to a price rather than built up to a standard.
We are fortunate that there a dedicated people who have a strong desire to preserve the heritage and history of our railways past and this carriage is a fine example that has been retained.
It is located at the NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere.
Thirlmere, New South Wales, Australia.

No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow. Most of the Psalms were born in the wilderness. Most of the Epistles were written in a prison. The greatest thoughts of the greatest thinkers have all passed through fire. The greatest poets have “learned in suffering what they taught in song.” In bonds Bunyan lived the allegory that he afterwards wrote, and we may thank Bedford Jail for the Pilgrim’s Progress. Take comfort, afflicted Christian! When God is about to make pre-eminent use of a person, He put them in the fire. - George MacDonald

Pigeon coo, warm whispers,
calm enfolding.
Vinegar and the smell of the sea on the air.
Pockets of dappled sunshine soothing goosebumps.
piano keys tinkle,
deep breath,
time slows
I'm here.
Back in the summer of 1991, a comfort cab GE locomotive was still relatively uncommon. New C41-8W units No. 9447 and 9450, teamed with a new EMD SD60M, pull 84 IPP coal empties east of Starr, Utah (near Mona) the morning of Aug. 7, 1991.

There is this tea
I have sometimes,
Pan Long Ying Hao,
so tightly curled
it looks like tiny roots
gnarled, a greenish-gray.
When it steeps, it opens
the way you woke this morning,
stretching, your hands behind
your head, back arched,
toes pointing, a smile steeped
in ceremony, a celebration,
the reaching of your arms.
- "Green Tea" by Dale Ritterbusch
What's more comforting than mac and cheese or pizza? Both!
Notes:
Mac and cheese recipe from alton brown. Pizza crust and sauce from the store.

During my foggy hike, I came across this egret (I think its an egret), and as I got closer, he (or she) took off flying and landed on the shore several feet behind me. I turned around and starting walking towards him again and when he looked nervous, I stopped and just watched him. He would keep an eye on me, but every once in a while, he would dart for a fish in the water. He got a small one at one point. I moved in closer and again, when he got nervous about me being there, I stopped and just watched.
After several attempts to get a bit closer, he took off again, and landed about 20 feet away along the shore. I walked towards him and the same song and dance happened all over again. This time, I got closer.
And he took off again, 20 feet further, I walked towards him, he got nervous, I stopped, he took off, yaddi yaddi yaddi.
This went on for quite some time. I actually impressed myself that I remained patient enough to play this silly game. He was probably getting totally frustrated with me because all he wanted to do was "fish" like birds fish and eat some breakfast.
But there I was. Being all up in his business snapping photos. When I shot this one, at this point, he really was getting used to me. I was only about 10 feet away from him. He didnt mind too much that I was there. He fished. I shot photos. We got along just fine.
And then, enough was enough.................
He flew away.
I got several shots but this was my favorite of the bunch. The fog was so heavy at times and this particular frame had the least amount of fog in the scene. The fog did make for a nice backdrop though.
Have a great week everyone :-)
So I went to Kelpie Point for an overnight trip on the Coxs River and found out courtesy of a sign part way down that it is Warragamba Special Area (Basically it is catchment for Sydney water supply) which meant no camping, no swimming, no fires, no no no no.
I decided to continue anyway and took some pics by the river before heading back to Lake Birrell. I was late getting in and found my way by phone light. It was cold and pretty average conditions but set the tent up by star light and then got about to the fire...oh what comfort a fire can bring!
Oh, if anyone is interested I've started compiling trip reports on a website I created. Here's the link... www.adventurepics.net
