The opportunity: every day take a photo which ... well, let's see what it shows. Of course, they may not be actual photos because sometimes you just don't have a camera to hand ...
Just when I was pondering on the likely subject for photo of the day, I espied a photographer (he's in the middle on the floor) hard at work. An apt subject.
Last week Sydney's The Sun-Herald gave away a pedometer to every reader ... and we scored another because Sooz rescued one found lying in the street. Does this mean that they jump off belts ... like other pedometers we have known?
Part of the backyard has been taken over as a "play area". Here young Fred is hard at work with just some of the toys that have "moved in". His sister and young neighbours are, out of frame, zooming up and down the yard on scooters.
I'm not saying that Homer, one of our cats, likes mice ... but he certainly appears incredibly fond of this mouse. I had not realised that telecommuting from home would be fraught with the problem of how to keep a very insistent cat off my desk - yes, and off the computer!
It's not a very good photo but I was on the way up the escalator at the time - but in mid-frame is a chocolate fountain - and you can hire it! Not quite sure how they would keep the chocolate from go(o)ing everywhere though.
Friday was tree-lopping day in the neighbourhood - and they were quite radical about it. As anyone can see, it was about the power lines - not the trees.
Playing with the camera, this is one of the blogging "effects", so it seemed only reasonable to use it. This is part of my home office with the wooden artists model and a pile of papers - which seems to grow by the day. It's nice to see it looking different.
