Dromana beach

This is a lovely day on the Bay, almost at the bottom of my street - I just love walking along this beach!

Fatal Attraction: Birds and Wind Turbines

Week 8

Week 7

Well, I thought I would try to map something, since maps are what I work with, but all I could see were where other people had been for their holidays, mostly in the USA again, of course. Tried frappr and Wayfaring, which really didn't let me in to create my own maps, and all roads seemed to lead back to Google maps - what else!

Exercise 5 - Wikis

I have added my blog to the PLCMC wiki.

Images

Well, after a lot of effort, I managed to attach an image to this blog page, but is anyone else interested in Rainbow Bee-eaters? They are delightful little birds, and I saw lots of them in the Kimberleys when on holiday there in July, along with other wonderful bird sightings at the Broome Bird Observatory.
But, what exactly is the point of this part of the exercise? I suppose it might be useful if I go on holiday again, and can attach photos for emailing to friends, but it seems an awful lot of fiddling about for not much reward! I think I'd rather take the photos on my new digital camera, show them to people, delete them if they are not of interest, and turn the best ones into Christmas cards! I suppose that's being pretty reactionary, isn't it - maybe Christmas cards will go the way of lots of other forms of communication, in years to come, and just be a form of memorabilia that we keep in libraries like the State Library.
