I recently changed from a 50mm to a 90mm Sony macro lens. I had been mostly playing in the backyard, but finally I managed to travel up to 15kms from home and it had stopped raining. In fact it was actually a beautiful warm spring day and so many people were out and about, so…

I guess I kind of fell off the planet for a while there, not that anything is wrong as such, just had nothing left to say. Melbourne has one the number one spot for the longest and harshest lockdown IN THE WORLD. I’m bored and frustrated and just blah. So I sort of turned off…

Along the Cook Hwy between Port Douglas and Cairns is Rex Lookout and also an entire beach of stacked rocks, known as cairns. Hundreds and thousands of rocks. Apparently a croc or two has been spotted basking among these stones, which is a little concerning. We however, saw no other crocs…thankfully. We finished driving down…
