September 2017

Sorry if this is a tad late, but we have been on a houseboat out of Mildura on the Murray River without wifi.

At the beginning of September we  went over to Kingston as Des had a gift card from 'Essential Ingredient' burning a hole in her wallet.  We stopped off at Bowen Park to give the dogs a run, and I was taken by the amount of duckweed floating on the lake; then by the reflections of the Kingston Foreshore Apartments in the lake.

This month's photo challenge was candid or street photography.  While I considered using the previous one of Des outside 'Essential Ingredient', I finally elected to go with two in black and white.

Walking the dogs one morning, Esme leapt into a pile of leaves and disappeared.  It was a culvert about a metre deep and full of leaves.  She was very startled when she surfaced.
