P365 – Day 336 – up in the sky

This afternoon, just after lunch, we were treated to an aerobatic display by the Air Force Roulettes,  which are in town for the celebrations of the 200th Anniversary of the Anglesea Barracks.  It was spectacular to watch and we got a great view, especially when they were passing over the...

P365 – Day 319 – train park

Today Juniordwarf and I did something different. We spent the day in Hobart. He was very interested in the fountain at Franklin Square. The purpose of our trip was to go to the train park. Juniordwarf had a great time. We took his scooter, which he rode around the track....

P365 – Day 290 – birthday festivities continue

My other birthday present from Slabs arrived in the mail today – a gift pack from Disaster Bay Chillies.  With a name like that, what’s not to like? The gift pack includes Chipotle Sauce, Chilli Wine Jelly, Spicy Kasoundi and (wait for it) Hot Chilli Wine – made not...

P365 – Day 236 – spring has sprung

Last week one of my workmates was saying how lovely it was that spring was finally here: the weather was warming up, the spring bulbs were in bloom and it was still light at 5 pm. Another colleague insisted that it wasn’t spring yet; that there was still two...

P365 – Day 227 – it’s getting ligher

This morning, as I left the house at 6.30, I noticed it wasn’t pitch black like it has been over the past few months. The faint glimmer of light made it ever so slightly more pleasant to be heading off to work so early. Fast forward to this evening...

P365 – Day 210 – cloud vs mountain (29/07/2011)

I thought this was a great view of Mt Wellington. The top of the mountain was covered in cloud, and there was another layer of cloud beneath that, but you could just make out the mountain through a few gaps in the second cloud layer. Once I looked at...

sunday selections – hipstamatic

I thought I’d use the opportunity to participate in Kim’s Sunday Selections project to show off some of the Hipstamatic photos I took this week. On Monday I wrote about how, at the suggestion of one of my Twitter friends, I was going to use the Hipstamatic app for...

P365 – Day 196 – and there was snow (15/07/2011)

It’s been very cold and wintery this week. The tops of the hills have been covered with snow, and earlier in the week people were even snowed in. The Mountain always looks glorious topped with snow, especially on the beautiful, clear sunny days – or rather, the times during...

P365 – Day 194 – driving home

I think I need to revisit the lists of ‘Photo a Day’ ideas, as I’m having trouble coming up with anything new. Today, the view out of the car windscreen on the way home in the rain....
