I had an inordinate amount of computer problems last night and so didn't achieve much. This means, I'm afraid, I'll only post a couple of photos, for I have much work to do today. I also have a cold. The coast was perfectly warm and Canberra went down to -5 last night, so of course I have a cold. It's almost zero outside now, so it will be a lovely day.

I forgot to say so many things: the blossom is all out, and so much wattle. I might post more pictures soonish, just for prettiness.

Watch this space for two pictures! (If I do them in small stages, maybe the computer won't sulk - I think that it, too, may have a cold.)

*I have deleted the image, for I worked out what happened. The camera didn't download everything. Most of the mountain shots are still lurking... When I solve this technical issue I shall be back and post some actual pictures. Right now, though, I need to take a break, for I checked out my mountain videos and they made me dizzy.*

Those mountains ahead? The road goes straight into them. One minute we were looking at a farmhouse with a white roof, nestled near the top of a mountain and the next thing I knew, we were passing it.

PS Sorry about the furry vision. I thought this was one of the clear ones when I uploaded it. I'll try for something clearer later, but none of the ones entering the pass were clear, for everything was too close and the vehicle was moving. That's why I started experimenting with videos.

Rationally, I should have just deleted the previous post, but I am doing things backwards today and I rather like that inside-out post (it's a change from backwardsness). The photos will have to wait, for they're simply not behaving.

The computer is unwell and I am unwell, but oh, it was worth it. Fever dreams are interesting, too.

Today, I think, is a day for getting essentials done and sleeping a great deal. My body thinks so too. Isn't it fortunate that I and my body agree with each other so very nicely right now?

My computer and I have finally been awake long enough so that the photos are all downloaded. Not just the fuzzy ones. All of them. Let me give you a very select few, if the connection permits, and then I shall do some work, for my fever has faded a little and doing a bit of today's work today (or even yesterday's work today) will forestall problems tomorrow.

Your first picture. I promised [livejournal.com profile] puddleshark the right agricultural context for huge hay bales. I had a good one with sheep, but it's missing (one day I'll work out why it's on the computer but not on the thumbnails when I go to upload, but today is not that day) so I found the wrong paddock entirely to replace it. It may not be the right shape, but it has a bonus horse.

Looking to the Pacific, over the Illawarra from Macquarie Pass (on a moving bus, of course).

This is the photo I couldn't find earlier - the clear view of the mountain range we crossed. Everything looks diminished and less spectacular in these pictures, but at least the green shows through. (My corner of Australia has quite different qualities of green.)

The opera singers from The Dancing Mice and the Giants of Flanders : in order, Eve Klein, Benjamin Loomes and Alice Girle.

Moonburn Productions rock, BTW.

And one last shot - from Mossvale Station. I took a lot of photographs of Mossvale, for it's a pretty place, but this is the one you all need to see. Look closely...
