Something New

Underwater Selfie

Sometimes the lousy surf, the lousy weather and lousy health all line up. Life happens.

Ages ago, my friend Lisa gave me a yellow sticky note with the words "the sun will come out tomorrow!" I still have it pinned to the refrigerator underneath some pics of World Vision kids who are doing it a million times tougher than me or anybody who has a computer or is literate.
It's a beacon of light on dark days. Thanks heaps Lis, it came in handy this week.

Below is a sandwich of an iPhone Sahara Desert dawn with a selfie underwater near Margaret River WA. It only took a cup of coffee to make, but I like the way the eyes and the palms lined up without me having to do any digital fanciness.

And yes the sun has come out again.

Today's post is dedicated to the pioneering O'Brien's -  refugee, boat people who sought a better life on the other side of the planet.
About 150 years ago, a boat named The Queen of the Colonies brought three brothers and their families from Ireland to Australia. On board was a two year old girl, who eventually mothered a girl, who eventually mothered a girl, who now lives on the point overlooking a memorial to the crew of the same boat.
The circle completes.
