I have a few to write, but the laptop is in crisis and I can’t access my software on it. Luckily the photos are backed up and I have a tablet, but the tablet is small and makes my hands hurt typing, and I don’t have editing software on it.
I’m very lucky to have all sorts of splendour on my doorstep. It’s taken me a month to move my mind fully from Warsaw to here. This morning I walked along the beach barefooted, and got sea and sand between my toes.
Oh, the rock. The sand is just fine, & I admire the way you captured its texture & swirls, but honestly, just give me the rock. I stared down the movers yesterday, who politely (but in amazement) asked, “Um, do you really want us to pack this big rock?” I said yes. It is a glorious bit of the Canada Shield, one of the oldest rock faces on the planet, and yes, I want to take it with me. New topic, question: are those wallabees or kangaroos? I have the fussy sense they are not exactly the same, but you’ll need to remind me.
Of course you want to take the rock with you! How big? The only time I’ve ever filled a camera card in one outing was photographing the rockface at south Jemos, and then an artist friend (yet to be profiled! She’s in Spain and doesn’t live on the south coast) opened my eyes even further. Differences between kangaroos and wallabies? I often evade this question by calling them all macropods! Now you push me. Kangaroos: big, eat grass; oversized legs and feet. Wallabies:: smaller; eat a lot of leaves (although they like lawns too); short and compact legs.
Wallabies at the beach? Even more incentive 🙂 🙂 The geology link on today’s Anglesey post looked like something that might intrigue you. Don’t look! There’s a life to live 🙂 🙂 Rock striations are endlessly fascinating though, aren’t they?
Wallabies on the headland, although I’ve seen kangaroos on the beach. I counted 40 on the headland a while back, but I haven’t seen many since I got home, except in people’s front yards and in the headlights when I’m driving home at night. Rock patterns are endlessly fascinating. I’ll check the link – part of the life to live. Hugs in a wallaby’s pouch on a Sunday morning.

I’m powering with wordless walks – the lazy way out, or maybe just a way of showcasing something that lacks a narrative.

I never open my laptop – lugged it to Warsaw and used it twice. May your crisis soon resolve – as if Internet connect wasn’t enough of an issue.

What do you use then? An iPad? Trouble is I don’t have software on the tablet. And yes, the internet connection is still a pain 😦

Mini iPad. I use Snapseed for post-processing, and LiPix for collating and framing etc.
