I woke up to someone knocking on our front door at 6:45 this morning. It was a road construction worker telling me to shut off our sprinkler because it was flooding the street. Because we have nothing but dirt at the front of our yard. Because they ripped out a large swath of our grass yesterday. Sigh.
So I’m going to escape from the ongoing nightmare that is now our life by returning to Australia. These images are from our trip to Phillip Island to see the penguins. It wasn’t the South Pole, but it was a much shorter drive.
Unfortunately, photographing the penguins is strictly prohibited. So I had to settle for photographing the beautiful scenery instead.
We had a brief Skype session with the irrepressible Miss Nola last night. She had asked to see us, but still only managed to last about 10 minutes before pummeling the phone with her bouncy ball. She’s at the age where her attention span is measured in seconds, so I’m grateful we got the 10 minutes.
