Relief

Thankfully Amir from Iran got out of prison.

Night

Last night when the sun had almost disappeared, the sky was luscious; purple and bruised looking. This is the front of my house with a line of large eucalyptus. The bare tree is a flowering cherry.

Delicious!

bread and chandelier I love this photograph! It’s from Eye Prefer Paris. There are some luscious food photographs on this site.

Tehran

It’s depressing that one of the daily photo boggers, blogging from Tehran has been missing since 17 June 2009. Hope he’s OK.

Photographs

I subscribe to a few daily (or semi daily) photograph blogs. I love opening up my blog reader and anticipating what I’ll see for the day. One of the blogs I particularly like is Blue Mountains Journal . Her current picture is here. Be sure and click on the link to see what this looks like in spring. Sums up the incredible differences in Australia.

I also like Melbourne Today. His latest pic could be in any big city.

And finally, Venice Daily Photo. His latest one is just incredible. Over the top colour.

Being a baby boomer

Went to see Simon and Garfunkel last night. I wouldn’t have thought of going, but I got a ticket as a birthday present. They were terrific but I couldn’t help looking around and smiling wryly at the audience. Since S&G are both 67, most people there were on the other side of 45.

But S&G’s voices were amazing. They don’t seem to have aged at all. Art Garfunkel still has that sweet soaring voice that seems so pure. And Paul Simon did some Gracelands songs which were great.

As for me, a dreaded lurgy has struck. Maybe it’s swine flu but since that’s a disease which has long since got away from us, I’m not all that worried. Everyone around me is sick so it’s fluids and as much rest as I can get, which won’t be much over the next couple of days.
