wallpaper

the background image or set of images
displayed on a computer screen
~~~~~

WordPress header images are wallpaper of sorts.

The major difference is that wallpaper generally covers

the whole computer screen whereas headers are

just that..a header image at the top of a page.

Or in my case a series of different images which

are randomly displayed upon viewing

my WordPress pages.

Geelong’s Promenade has been part

of the Eastern Beach precinct

for as long as I can remember.

 

Measuring 200 metres from end to end

The Promenade is an ideal place

for a leisurely stroll.

 

It also provides a very safe place for

young swimmers to practise their skills.

fleeting moments

something which lasts only for a very short time.
 
~~~~~~

On our second last morning in Botswana,

I came across this Red Breasted Weaver

in the middle of its morning callisthenics.

For no known reason, it simply let go of

the branch and free fell out of shot. 

I was so lucky to capture one frame of its fall

The whole encounter probably only lasted

around 15 seconds, at best.

 

 

Another few seconds and the sun had risen out of the sea’s grasp.  

 

The seagull thought it was by-passing me.

What it did not realise was that it gave me

the opportunity to capture one of,

if not my best, in-flight shot, ever.

 

This Black Shouldered Kite was too busy

searching for lunch to notice yours truly.

 

Bar one camera, my gear was packed

as I began the walk back to my car. 

Suddenly the rainbow appeared.   

It was all I could do to shoot off a couple of

frames before it disappeared again. 

A truly fleeting moment.
