Good Ship "Notorious"

It's not every day that you see a Portuguese Caravel but there it was as large as life at the Hobart Wooden Boat Festival

It was handmade my a guy with big dreams.

The master suite

The open fire, note the flagstone floor

My very own pirate, the bearded wonder.

The spare bunk

Chests and the dining suite

The only rope of the ship is the one that rings the bell. The rest are called other names.

When Sea Eagles Fly

I often see the sea eagles flying around both my homes and usually when I want to photograph them, they fly away. But not today. There were a pair circling over head here at the beach.

Under the Grapevine

A cooling garden on a hot day. At the moment the grapes overhead are dangling down looking enticing. This pic was taken in November.

I Survived the Bushfires

While driving to the store, I passed a burnt out section of highway, when something caught my eye. I had to go back to take her picture. How she got there is anybody's guess.
