Where : North Turramurra
There are plenty of flowering banksias at the moment along the Old Road from North Turramurra down to Bobbin Head - no, not the current road (Ku-ring-gai Chase Road), but the old dirt road (take a righty after the gates and after the turn to the Sphinx).

Apple Tree Bay is where the locals launch their boats - and where the rich moor them yet seldomly seem to sail them.
It really is a beautiful spot, located in the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, just a short drive from home - say 15 minutes. We really are very lucky to live so close to the bush and the Hawksbury River.

At last I am starting to use the S3 that I bought from my friend Jon in Canada 2 years ago.
It is a bit different from the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P72 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 that I have been using.
For a start, it is h-u-g-e in size comparison, paricularly with the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR DX Zoom Nikkon lens. The whole beast has an at-first, daunting set of controls that need to be set. It is fairly heavy too. This is a serious snapper slapper.
Still, I am starting slowly, in P(rogrammmed) mode. We shall see.

One of my favourite bougainvilleas, the Scarlet O'Hara is a vigorous, low maintenance climber and creates a large, dazzling scarlet display. The semi-evergreen leaves hold on well in winter. We have trained this beauty over and through the wrought iron bits on our front porch.

Where will it all end ? I think the planet is overpopulated - we need to raise the standard of living by having fewer people to share the world's wealth - rather than funding capacity to look after the expanding populations by pumping in more children - the final Ponzi Scheme.
