It was interesting to watch these learner Scuba divers in the shallows of the clear blue waters off the Portsea Pier. The beach behind is the opposite side of the pier, closer to the eastern part of the curve that leads to the Heads. Portsea has a large number of wealthy inhabitants and a lovely Portsea Hotel that overlooks the pier and the yachts moored nearby.
While Della was at the beach with her Lab friend she learned how to fetch a bumper. She was a little tentative at first but learned very quickly!
We enjoyed watching this young fellow learning to control this gondola. Lots of laughs from his companions and us.
After our Dolomites hike last September, we spent four nights in Venice, staying in the Cannaregio area. Exploring the streets of Cannaregio on our first day in Venice. A guessimate of the location.

This is a Kea, the world's only mountain parrot. They are fantastic birds, native to New Zealand and highly intelligent.
And VERY VERY naughty!
They have been known to destroy tents, backpacks, are attracted (addicted?) to anything shiny and have even damaged motor vehicles. I was camped in the Southern Alps and this Kea would come within a metre of me exploring. The stove was still hot so there was only one peck and then he left it alone but during the previous night this guy and his mates managed to shred the bottom of my sleeping bag as well as destroying my sleeping mat...
But I love them :)
Cheers Jack
Thank you all for your wishes while I was feeling down, they are very much appreciated.

Carrying on the theme of ex-works class 931 departmental vehicles, this is Route Learning vehicle 931001 (formerly class 416 unit 6232) at Clapham Junction on 15th September 1993. Bearing a fresh coat of Network South East livery it was being used on the route to and from Kensington Olympia. For the record, that's 56059, possibly heading light to Stewart's Lane depot. The unit had four windows at one end and three at the other. This unit was withdrawn from service in 2002 and scrapped at Immingham in February 2004.

Did everyone else know that you could rest the rim of the macro lens on the surface where the insect is? It helps to steady the shot, and seems to focus ok.
