Trouble watching Nemo

Well, that's not Nemo that Trouble is having a sniff at, but he was quite interested in the DVD.

That's what I love about cats - the fact that they are curious, that they'll chase a pen lid across the floor and their casual indifference ... even though they know your walk as you come down the pathway and jump off the bed when you walk inside.  They make me smile every day.

Coogee Beach rock pool

My photo for today was taken around 6pm at the Coogee rock pool.

It's beautiful @ that time of night, very calm and relaxing.  Lots of people are walking after work, and it's great to see them enjoying the anticipation of warmer weather and daylight savings.  

The concrete blocks at Coogee pool used to be more worn and battered by the breaking waves, but they were replaced a year or so ago.  It'll be quite a few years before these blocks are worn to that level again.  There was an exhibition I saw several years ago by a European photographer who was so intrigued by these unique rock pools that he travelled the east coast of Australia photographing them.  Sometimes it takes someone's different perspective on what they see to make you take a second look at what's around you.

Sculpture by the Sea 2008

Well, this is my first blog ever, so I'll take it nice and slow.

My sister and I previewed this years Sculpture by the Sea on the Tamarama to Bondi walk this morning.  Some were still under construction, so I'll go back next week to see them at sunset - the best time I find to photograph the sculptures.

As part of my personal goal to take a photo every day for a year, I will include my choice from today.  I took over 250 pics, so it was quite hard to choose.  Just after I took this photo we saw whales breaching just off the coast.  A few minutes later there was around 15 people standing there hoping to see the whales, and almost missing looking at this beautiful sculpture.

The exhibition is on until the 2 November.
