It was windy today so the surf was rough.

Swim between the flags!
Hope this warms you all up there in Wisconsin.

Hi R and other BB friends
I'm back........... having been released from the kitchen. All went well but I am not going near the stove today. We had fun talking about Italy, mainly, as MOG spends considerable time there, has been taking Italian lessons for 20 years and was interested in Bella and Umbi's life in Tuscany. G's lamb was delicious - he enjoyed your husband's interest in 'The Silver Spoon', which, by the way, is a favourite of MOG.

G took me to lunch at Dee Why which is one of the Northern Beaches known for it's great surfing beach where you can actually be in line with the surfers rather than in front - great for photography, (but not today.) On our way back, we stopped at Georges Heights, Mosman, to see the Queen Mary 11 come into Sydney Harbour. Friends of ours went for a cruise on the Queen Mary - amazing stories - they went to 4 balls on the ship so had to take 4 Cinderalla dresses!
Speaking of which I am so much enjoying the beautiful backgrounds to your work and your descriptions.
You say "My project is taking me out to places I would only have looked at from afar, or through a window" this statement includes two elements of my developing philosophy of living happily and productively in retirement.
One is project - replacing the idea/concept of goal setting, which doesn't really work when you are changing pace and direction - better to have projects which enable us to have something to work towards, to feel engaged in, to feel excited about.
The other from your statement is....... "taking me out to places', which is also the philosophy of getting out there and doing rather than being a passive observer which can tend to happen. Whether or not, the places are distant and foreign, or near but on a deeper level, is immaterial. The important element is exploring new horizons.

Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I create everyday for a year... RRT
Sunrise...March 6th
Neckpiece of Agate and Copper.
I took this photo this morning at sunrise. The form is perched on the edge of a deep ravine with the sun filtering through the trees. It was very beautiful. My project is taking me out to places I would have only looked at from afar or through a window.
