It's been a while since I have posted here. The last few months have seemed like a blur of activities (none of them planned!) and my zest for sharing my photos had waned somewhat.
I had actually toyed with the idea of not updating the Blog; I have Instagram and Facebook and did I really need to muck around with another social 'thing' on line? So much seemed to be happening so I let it slide for a few months.
Good news though, I am back putting up photos that may seem inconsequential to most but, they are a record of the things I get up to and the places I go to. They are a record of my Life.
So, here we were a few months ago on a Saturday morning wandering into Newcastle taking Daisy and Archie out for a long needed 'social' with other members of our society and any other dogs they cared to meet on the way. They didn't do too badly, often misbehaving and barking on sighting another canine cousin. We watched them carefully when they saw another dog. Each would shoot the other a quick look (as if to say 'I'll bark first' or 'shall we bark and carry on at this one?') and then, in unison, they would erupt in a frenzy of barking at the dog stranger and pulling on the lead to go over and say Gidday. They seem to egg each other on. Not to mention the 'pack howl' they seem to have commenced lately!
It was a mild morning just before the onset of Winter and a beautiful sunny day. Given that prior to this we had been inundated with the biggest rainy period ever seen resulting in massive flooding along the east coast, it was a treat to be out in the sunshine.
The Markets at The Station were set up and so we browsed for a while before crossing over to the foreshore on Port Hunter Harbour. There were people everywhere all with the same idea as us; to get out and enjoy the first sunny day for ages. It was good for my street photography!
I chose a Fuji Super Colour 100 to shoot with. An expired film that has been frozen, it has minimal grain and still has great colour. I took along the Minolta Dynax 40. A great little camera that is not so intrusive for the street photography.
It was great to get out and just wander around with nothing particular in mind to achieve.
Hope you're all well!

| The Mall was pretty busy too. |
 |
| I've often thought about buying a scooter. It would be a neat way of getting around. I'd have to get some panniers for the camera gear though. |
 |
| As I said it was a mild day and these kids made the most of the water feature! |
 |
| I thought this was a great photo; dogs need to have a social life too! |
 |
| Just a little before lunch and the crowds starting to gather at the Queens Wharf Brewery for a spot of lunch. This is such a great spot to sit and watch the massive ships coming into port. |
 |
| A lot of people were buying food from the Markets across the road and going over to the grassed area to eat and take in the views from the Harbour. |
 |
| Luckily Newcastle is a very dog friendly city. These are not our dogs by the way but, our dogs let their presence be known! |
 |
| See? What a cool spot for lunch. I love watching the shipping on the Harbour. |
