Walls of Jerusalem

K and I went for a weekend away to the Walls of Jerusalem. We hiked for 3 days, and covered some terrain we had not seen before including Mount Jerusalem itself. The 360 degree view from the top is below. You might need to click on it to see the larger version.

The days were great. More photos to follow shortly! Watch this space!

Kelcey Tier

Not doing this every day anymore... But this is our figure eight walk (done today) as recorded by RunKeeper on the iPhone:
We ran into a big fat bluetongue lizard on the track and some other little lizzards...

Spirit of the Sea

People sailing into Devonport are now greeted by The Spirit of the Sea... One day it will have lights at night and water flowing over it. Nice to see some more art popping up here and there!

Seal in the Mersey

K. called me at work and asked if I would go for a paddle after work. She mounted the roofracks and kayaks on the Lancer and drove to the river where I met her. Had a nice paddle into the sea, found some nice waves and on our return into the river, past the new Spirit of the Sea feature, K spotted a big bull seal sitting on the rocks not far from us! It made a big fuss about us and ran off. Second time I have seen a seal in Devonport! Cool.

The Taste of the Harvest

As part of my Lions Club activities I was on the committee to organise 'The Taste'. Being just one of a team of people I don't think I did overly much, but the event went off without a Hitch... Well, Hitch showed up actually...

Thousands of people, a great sunny day and plenty of entertainment and food made the perfect recipe for a fantastic day out. 

And for the first time of my life I acted as MC for one of the stages - the Acoustic stage - and announced a few acts. I enjoyed that after I got the hang of it...

Maui Photos 2009

OK guys, here are 200+ photos... I tried to order them a bit, or at least not totally random!

Looking at these photos you can see that eating was a prime obsession this holiday, and yes, it certainly was our favourite part of the day!

Holiday in Hawaii

Click on these photos to see the whole thing!

As you may know we went to Maui to catch up with family. Now safely back home again and very busy as I have started a new job! Also got 1000s of photos from the trip to sort out. They will come here eventually.

On the way home we had to overnight in Honolulu, and I took these panoramas from the airport surrounds. We went for a geocache hunt, hence these interesting views. I drooled over the chrome displayed at the Harley Davidson showroom!
