We were waiting to board the Oosterschelde at Darling Habour for our three hour sail on Sydney Harbour. Very exciting.
The practice is not to become enlightened in the future. The practice is full, vulnerable, intimate, open participation in our immediate experience, which is all we ever have anyway.

This takes strength, patience and lots of practice; an indigenous fisher using his dip net to catch a salmon swimming up the Bulkley river. Note his success!

The twisted end of the netting around a punnet of - you guessed it - yellow plums. They are utterly delicious, only four left and they won't last long ...
A sports net curtain in one of practice rooms at the Adelaide Oval sports stadium. There was a net on top as well to protect the ceiling.
For Macro Monday group, this week's theme was "Cloth".
I took lots of photos, and really, only running out of time made me choose this one... there are only nine minutes left before the group closes for the week!
This is some gold cloth, and some gold flecked lacy netting.
This is a close-up photo of sunlight shining through the folds in the netting fabric of a bug jacket that seems to reveal a wary pareidolia portrait.
When they are very small, salmon [...] fry are reared in the blue Capilano troughs and fed a high-protein diet many times each day. The water circulated through these troughs is heated several degrees to give the juvenile fish a good start.
As the fry grow larger they are transferred to the concrete rearing ponds in which they remain until their release.
The netting you see above the rearing ponds discourages birds such as kingfishers and mergansers from flying in for a tasty fish dinner. Capilano Hatchery sign
Today Hastings has a population of something over 80,000 and depends heavily on tourism to earn its living. There is still a fishing fleet based at The Stade in the Old Town, though severely hampered now by restrictions imposed from Europe. There is a remarkable amount of creative talent in the town: artists, writers and musicians seem to be particularly attracted here. Current Hastings residents include the jazz saxophone legend Trevor Watts, folk fiddlers Peter Knight (of "Steeleye Span") and Barry Dransfield; the award-winning science fiction writer Christopher Priest, and American-born novelist Leigh Kennedy. If rare musical instruments are your thing, have a look at the small 18th century John Snetzler organ, rebuilt in 1837, which found its way from Derby via Banbury and Lewes to Hastings, and is now sitting unobtrusively in the Unitarian Chapel in South Terrace (just a few doors along from the Quaker Meeting House).
Hastings never quite achieved the prosperity of resorts like Bournemouth or Brighton, but it has a comfortable, "lived in" feel and a lot to recommend it which is not perhaps obvious to the casual visitor. The ruins of the Norman castle on the West Hill are a major attraction as are St. Clement's caves nearby, while below on the seafront is Pelham Crescent and its centrepiece St. Mary-in-the-Castle, magnificently restored with its Georgian columns and soaring dome. For those who enjoy walking in the countryside, the unspoiled Country Park stretches from the East Hill up and down the glens and over the "fire hills" to Fairlight - and further if you can manage it!
The Old Town, nestling between the East and West Hills, is well worth exploring: as well as the picturesque houses and shops, the streets are riddled with a surprising network of little alleyways (or "twittens" as we call them in Hastings!) The beach is home to the largest shore-based fishing fleet in England, and to the eye-catching tall wooden huts where the fishermen dry their nets.
