Thanks Guin.

Back home now, I have another few days off, Hen goes back to work today, poor bugger!

Those shots are four or more individual frames stitched together, to give that ultra wide angle lens effect.

Beautiful shots! You have one hell of a knack for photography :ok I loved the photos from Shepard's Lookout, the 'roos, and especially Barney from 3 21 2009.

Dolphins seen at Shark beach.





Sometimes I think about Saturday's child
And all about the times when we were running wild
I've been out searching for the dolphins in the sea
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

This old world will never change the way it's been
And all the ways of war won't change it back again
I've been out searchin' for the dolphin in the sea
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

This old world will never change

Lord, I'm not the one to tell this old world how to get along
I only know that peace will come when all our hate is gone
I've been a-searchin' for the dolphins in the sea
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me.

Love dolphins -- rarely see them around here, although we have been having shark sightings and a swimmer got nibbled (40+ stitches) by a Great White last month.

It's a great delight to see them in the wild, is it not?

I'd love to see a great white, if suitably safe.

Hen had to return to work yesterday :(

I don't go back for another five days. I'm indulging my Le Carre obsession, and watching the whole of "Smiley's People"again. :)
