Reflection


We have been to the beach a number of times recently, each time to our favourite camping spot in Kiama. These trips were not so much about wayfaring, more about rest and reflection in the warm sun.

I do hope you will enjoy the rest and tranquility with me.

  1. It is amazing to me that you manage 2 blogs of exceptional photographs. Maybe it is like eating peanuts; you can't have just one.

  4. This is a almost perfect reflection. No disturbance. Mirror-like.

  6. Kiama, hah, I had it in mind to go there on Monday but instead went baby-shopping.

    Kiama is my next $2.50 journey, though.

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure.

Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an increase in his land to 300 acres. William developed a r
