When days at work prove frustrating I love to delve back into my photo archives and cheer myself up. I had almost forgotten about this one which I took last Monday when out with the bassets on their new favourite walk. It’s a place they can run and run. And when they’ve worn themselves out [...]
Had another cancellation today – people are dropping like flies in Wellington to their sick beds. Wasn’t long enough for a determined photo walk so I hung out for coffee by the waterfront. The longer I sat the more I wanted to hop on this boat and cruise around the harbour to make the most [...]
