Water, a Break, and The Interlude

Something Wet
Guess What!
green and blue nature photoIt's been quite a long time since I last posted here, and a lot's happened in that time. For those loyal readers that have kept watch here in my absence, I'll try to summarize what's been going on.

Firstly - Water! I went on a holiday to Goomburra National Park over the Queen's Birthday weekend, and there was lots and lots of water there! As anyone who's been following my blog will know, there isn't much water where I live so this was a special event. I took about 1,200 shots in the 36 hours, and got quite a few good photos out of the trip. Over the next few weeks I'll try to post some of those shots here. Update: The photo above was taken at Goomburra - can you guess what it is? For the answer, click here.

I've also had exams in the past week, so I've been focusing entirely on study and didn't have time to work on this blog. Consequentially the traffic has gone down from about 300 visits per day to 160. Hopefully with a bit of regular posting this might come up again, but as I've said before, traffic ain't everything!

Finally, there's going to be another interruption to the posting schedule again soon. I'm travelling to Sydney in about a week's time for World Youth Day - an international gathering of youth that will attract 120,000 overseas visitors to Australia. I'm not sure if there will be internet access available, but if there is I will certainly try and get some photos up during WYD.

So, that's about all for now. Thanks a lot to the people who have stayed around during the quiet period in this blog, I will try to get around to your websites soon, but can't guarantee anything until August!

    Isn't it a bummer when the real world insists upon interfering with blogging?

    I have no idea about the "Guess What". Looks like turf and sky at an angle, but I know that would be much too simple.

    Hi Marvin,

    Yes, it's annoying but a reality - we do have a life besides the internet! :) Of course, I wouldn't have it the other way round - spending all day on the computer (in a literal sense) is just silly. But sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side.

    Thanks for leaving a comment. How do you like the comment form below the post? I'll try and drop by your blog with the answer to the "Guess What" soon - I don't want to spoil it for the others!

    Cheers,

    David

    hmm, grass growing in the water?

    I hope the exams went well. I know how stressful and time consuming they are!! Good to hear you had a nice break afterward though -- I'm looking forward to seeing your Goomburra pics!

    Hi David!
    Looks like grass and sky captured from a neat angle.
    I has a very stressful time too. Job, old house, big garden, nice weather etc. So I didn`t have so much time for the pc. Now I look forward to tree weeks vacation in northern Norway with my camera (and my wife). :-)
    Have a great week.

    Cheers, John.

    Hi Lea,

    Thanks for dropping round. I'll post the answer to this guess what question in the next post, so keep an eye out! For now, let me say that you're pretty close. :)

    So far I haven't got the exam results, but it all went pretty well for me. It certainly is nice to have a break now.

    Cheers,

    David

    Hi John,

    Hope you have a great time on your holiday, and a good chance for a break. Your guess wasn't quite right either, but you'll be able to see the full answer in the next post. :)

    Cheers,

    David

    Nice. You live a busy life David. Glad to see you enjoying yourself. I am looking forward to some photos of the Pope and everything else at the gathering.

    I'm back from WYD now, got some good photos of the pope and hope to share them with you soon.

    All the best,
