It's good to hear from you! I quite enjoyed your watercolour post. Personally I would have been happy with one of the first ones but it's good to see someone put some craft into their art. I don't know if I'll make it to 50,000 words by the end of the month, but I do know I'll have more than if I hadn't tried it. Hey Fencer!

Glad to see the new entry, and congratulations on trying on NaNoWriMo... I haven't tried that particular exercise (maybe I should someday), but I did try our local 3-Day Novel Writing Contest a few years back now on a Labour Day weekend. A lot of coffee, no sleep and I did manage a short novel of uncertain quality. Now you've got a whole month to do sort of the same thing... Good luck! Regards Hey!

A new post and a good photo... I think it's great your partner just went ahead and bought a boat like that. Don't know much about sailing, wish I did, but it sounds like you're embarked on a worthwhile project. Regards Cool! A new post and a good photo…

There is nothing like a daft tradition to really get me excited. Although you wouldn't know it from my loud silence of late my thoughts have been with you. As I'm sure have all your friends out here!

I assume your job is more technical and logical, and photography offers a more creative dimension. Not that computers and problem solving aren't creative, nor that photography isn't technical. But your photos are in the natural world and they help us to see that world. Good work! Cheers, Neil Hi, Doug,
