Practical can be fun too. I guess.

Well, since I ~~begged~~ asked months ago to have today off (because I thought it would be the day after the SPN finale only it turned out it wasn't *facepalm*), I've been doing unbearably practical things with it like medical appointments and setting up routers and epic cleaning and such.

However, I did take a 15 minute walk between appointments and took some pictures. Thought I'd share.

Harbour

More harbour

Gazebo

Gazebos within gazebos

Boat Parking Fail

Tulips?

Shrubbery

Purple dangly flowers, bluebells?

Failed shot of busy bumblebee, she flew away

Panorama of harbour

Pretty pictures! Good use of an off day :)

It was!

cool!

Warm, actually! :-)

Those up close flower shots are REALLY pretty. Wish the bmble bee hadn't flown the coop as it were. :)

And the panorama shot is AWESOME. My camera will do panorama (supposedly) but I can't figure out how to make it do it. And of course the "owner's manual" is actuality a cd for the computer that I can no longer find. Boo.

Nice pics, but where's the ones of Chaos? *black kitty grabby hands*

She was fast! By the time I got aimed, she'd moved along.

There's supposed to be a panorama setting on this camera and I think I've used it before, but I couldn't find it today, so I just did the old-fashioned way and took the two shots into my graphic program and stitched them together manually. I cloned out most of the artifact line, but there's still a little twinning showing I couldn't get rid of without things looking weird. :-P

I'll go see if he's feeling photogenic. Hang on.

WOW on the panorma shot. I couldn't tell AT ALL that you had manipped it together. That is really cool. I also meant to say, "the moutains in the background are beautiful and I like the colorful overturned boats."

*waits to see if kitty will pose*

Thanks :-) It's been a long time since I last did that, so it could have gone much worse.

It's a pretty region, and it's nice to get a chance to look around at it once in a while. I've been most of the way up at least two of those mountains at some point; the one at the extreme right of the panorama might be Forbidden Plateau.

Not so much pose as stand still for two seconds. And stick his tongue out.

Awww, he's so cute. And doing well I presume? *cyberpets*

He's doing better. His fur's almost grown back on his leg where they had to put in the IV. He flat-out wouldn't eat the vet food, so I'm feeding him what he will eat because it's better for him to eat something than nothing and he's doing well on it with the insulin.

So glad to hear it. :) (And yeah eating vs. not eating? There's a clear winner there. *g*)

Guh. So beautiful.

Harbour! Large amount of water! Green grass!

I love my mountain, but I miss living close to the sea. And to live somewhere that's not in drought, where grass is green ...

I thought you were down near a bay there for some reason. It is a pretty area of the world here, when one gets a chance to look at it.

Melbourne, the big city, is on Port Phillip Bay, but I'm about an hour north of that. I grew up in a bayside suburb, where I spent lots of time walking along the beach, and I still really miss having the sea within walking distance.

Yeah, that's a bit of a long walk to get to the ocean.

Gazebo within gazebo made me grin :-)

I was walking past and noticed it did that. It is kind of neat.

I am so jealous of you for getting mountains like that. Wow. So beautiful! Also, sailboats are love.

Yeah, I had to order them up special. Installing them was a real pain, and I'm not keen on the placement of the glacier. I might move it a bit further north. (Hee!)

Wow. So beautiful! Also, sailboats are love.

I'm surprised more of them weren't out on the water instead of in harbour. It was a gorgeous day.

Dang, wish there was room for mountains over here, I'd order some in a second! :) Then again, I do live by the sea, even though it's not quite as spectacular, so I shouldn't complain, perhaps.

I'd really like to see your sea, if you're ever photographically inclined.

I'll do that! It's truly nothing too spectacular, but it does get very pretty in summer. I'll post pics when I get some nice ones! I'm in the process of making a post with mist pics, but you can't exactly see the sea in those...

Marvelous pictures :)
Nearly looks like you were on vacation in Tirol or Kärnten (Austria). Where did you really take them?

On the east coast of Vancouver Island in BC, Canada.

Ooooh you have blue sky! We don't get that very often in England...

It was atypical for May. There's a reason the climate in this area is refered to as a rainforest. :-)

It's funny--I did the same thing as you yesterday, went for a walk on the lake and took a bunch of pics. The panorama thing is great, mine does the stitch thing too:) Wonderful pics;) Yes, I am also signing up for LJ this weekend, just so you know, A keeps emailing me..lol

It was that kind of weather.

Mine does too, I'm sure I've used ot before, but the one above I stitched with my graphics program.

Hey there
Lurking Wombat here. I head over to the Gazebo and shoot it with a +1 arrow and attack it with my +5 sword of Ogre Killing :) What?! Nothing is happening? :)
Great pics and glad you got out for a nice walk around the water.
Hope you get a chance to do it again soon. And thanks for the pic of Chaos :) Very glad he is doing better
Though i have to say, i am disappointed that you didn't get a picture of a grassy knoll ;)

You are swarmed by the local Rotary club, who beat you senseless with rubber duckies, but you escape with your life. You now have a minor enemy: Rotary Clubs. It's their gazebo. ;-)

Weren't any available to take pictures of. They run away too darn fast.

AD&D?

Yep. Specifically referring to this notorious gaming story.
