Just read a post by a publisher on how sad it is to see wannabe writers’ blogs out of date. True. So let’s talk about music instead. Heard the SS0 play the New World by Dvorak recently and now listening to it on headphones from a super careful recording. Nothing beats live though! Pic from the second row….
Belatedly, I discovered Sydney Review of Books – read a review – wonderful and free.
Scottish Rocks Jervis Bay
Before the much heralded arrival of the fleet into Sydney Harbour, ships entered Jervis Bay to moor in deep anchorage. It was hard to get close-ups from the beach at Scottish Rocks, but I liked this view of the cormorants taking a break from fishing, facing the biggest collection of vessels they’d have seen in their short life times. A sea eagle took particular notice, swooping near the sterns as if hoping they might prove to be fishing boats, before soaring high, in show off style.
No crowds!
It may seem remote – but that’s just my inadequate photography. It’s common to watch the navy training in Jervis Bay, one of the reasons it makes such an exciting body of water – helicopters, dolphins, whales, the occasional seal – and gannets gymnastics.
But to see so many big tough ships, peacefully at anchor, hard to tear oneself away.
Still with the suspicion that I might have done better by buying WP direct or downloading manually (despite botched first attempt) things seem to be working! Now all I need is real news.
Having some WP issues – quick install might be the problem – Jetpack to the rescue.. I hope don’t need to download manually (again)
Hunts Creek Reserve: Narrow strips of bushland along a creek banked by backyards. The tracks take you from one mini environment to another with changes in flora and fauna. Cockatoos and kookaburras were fighting for the tree hollows and the scrub wrens brushed past our noses and tickled our feet.
This is my new WP site. Goodbye static site. Now to add a few pages. It’s taken me all day to load this manually, then auto via SG twice… no more whining!
