We go to the Art Gallery of NSW three or four times a year but always in April to see the Archibald’s. These shots were taken April 2006 while we sat on the deck enjoying a wondrous day and drinking a traditional (for us) glass of Champagne.

Dreaming

Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Acquainted With The Night
by Robert Frost
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain — and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

Palm Beach Seaplane
October 7th, 2006 Comments Off
I watch these seaplanes fly by my house every day. They do the hop between Sydney Harbour and Palm Beach in about 15 minutes — the same distance in a car can take over an hour. They fly low along the coast — the scenery is fantastic. I did it once in a helicopter, part of a 50th birthday gift from my wife. We flew around the harbour then we came up here and then we flew to the Blue Mountains. Quite an experience — one of those follies we sometime indulge in on special occasions.
