Reflections from 2012, sans fancy writing

As I have written in previous posts, in 2012 I decided it was time to learn how to use my camera. One thing I have learnt this past year is that I need lessons now.. I've got about as far as I can figuring it out for myself and now I want more. But as they used to say in the cigarette ad - I've come a long way, baby.
Worlds in water drops:

Cyclamen

Heart's Ease

Retired Dandelions

Dandelion in the Morning

Wonderful trip to Shark Bay in June - beautiful scenery, perfect weather..

Sunrise in Shark Bay

Dolphin at Monkey Mia

Sunrise at Shell Beach

Fabulous month house sitting in the country in Spring.. an 80 acre playground at my disposal, and the luxury of having the time to enjoy it:

Ballet on Golden Pond

Pas de Deux

And we're done

Swam most days..

..and occasionally at night

Discovered Instagram

Made sacrifices for the cause

(dirty job, but someone had to do it)

Early morning stillness

Back home again..

Seagull on a walk by the river

Brief diversion into the myriad ways one can find a paper weight entertaining:

Park upside down

A cushion, an iPad and a paper weight

Messed about around boats with good friends:

And watched some great sunsets..

Happy New Year
