Today was the first day of pre-school for my granddaughter. She was soooo excited and couldn't wait. I'd like to take credit for this picture, but I can't. My daughter took it. I like the motion implied in this photo and the framing. She caught her mid-stride, got a shadow effect, and I love the bus door wide open with the driver looking at her waiting to greet her. Of course, I'm prejudiced on both accounts!!
Taken at the Festival of the Wind on Bondi Beach, 11 September, 2011. I hadn't flown a kite in a good 15 years and I had forgotten how much fun it can be
And another for the new day... weather sealing definitely came in handy here, I was soaked.
This boat has a powerful V8 engine from Chevrolet - a foreign word down-under, and the driver here would take the boat right up to the rock's edge at high speed, he was very experienced.
