More hands!

'Cause I can't resist!

Hands!

My sculpture is starting to feel done-ish. Perhaps next week I'll start casting it in plaster!

Party too hard?

This guy was hanging from the telephone wires near my house--guess he didn't quite make it home to the botanic gardens this morning!

Huge rain storms yesterday

From the Sydney Morning Herald. Very fast moving water in the streets, perhaps six inches? And thunder and lightning right overhead. It was dramatic and a little bit scary...

Oh, and the roof leaked again.

Thanks, Megan

So why would a public policy analyst PhD become obsessive about accountants? Look no further.

Bats!!!

Yes, those black dots on the trees are thousands of bats, hanging upside down as they sleep away the day. Next challenge is to get some good photos of their silhouettes in the sky at dusk... I may need a better camera for that one (but I have been thinking hard about a better camera recently).

NB: These are definitely worth clicking on for close-ups. You can really see their wonderful bat-bodies wrapped in garbage-bag wings.
