The bagged curtains shot is a lovely window of weirdness.

A tripod, I have begun to realise, is very important. Extension tubes look like a great idea; but I try not to take off the lens because Chch where I live is so very, very dusty these days. I found an old tripod not long ago among my father's gear; probably dates from the early 1960s so it's heavy and clunky. I'm planning to spend some time with it.

What does this household do in summer when the beach is cold? Eat and create: food, words, music and pictures.
Last night Finn, accompanied by early David Bowie, came up with this good-looking tarte Tatin: rhubarb and a couple of the early gravensteins from the garden. Then he photo’d it with his Christmas camera (he’s taken a liking to photography so I followed Nora’s example and got him a tough wee Lumix that does amazing work). I showed him basic cropping, and here’s the result. Then we ate it. Yummm.
(PS for Russell: That marble slab in the background is a treasure: I bought it years ago and came from the lobby of the old Christchurch Star building in Kilmore Street.)

That copper corry Ian D is amazing.

Pupdate: Nina was seven months old yesterday. She’s a regular beach-goer, though only going paw-deep in the tide line. Into the pools today for the first time: pure delight along with Very Fast Running. She’s the best dog I have ever had: intelligent, devoted, curious and funny. What a wonderful gift in a filthy year. (Posted not for the quality of the photos but to show how she has grown.)

and I shook the plum tree…
Wow; the harvest! I picked the year's first apple today: a Gravenstein just flushing red. Pretty good for the second day of the year.
