Eye Candy Blogfest.

I hope this post works.

I’ve attempted to schedule it (which is something I have not done before), so as I say here’s hoping!

Two things:

First, I’ve entered Vicki Rocho’s Eye Candy Blogfest. So I have to post a ‘favourite’ photo.

I owe a quick apology to Vicki, I did mean to blog about this blogfest, but I just haven’t had time to get to it.

This “easy” blogfest has actually been really difficult.

Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog know I take heaps of photos. So I have many, many favourites!

So deciding a piccie for this post I thought about photos I have taken of:

SunsetDawn
WaterfallsBeachesSpectacular scenerySkyscapesCityscapesOdd wildlifeBeautiful wildlifeArchaeology

In the end I came down to choosing between photos that I didn’t take myself.

Photos of loved ones.

Like my little brother Ian when he was three.But the photo I am putting up as a ‘favourite’ for this blogfest is one of me that Deb took about fifteen years ago. It is me in one of my ‘hippy phases’. Yes that shaggy individual in the middle really is me. What makes this piccie special to me is I am with my three gorgeous girls. They don’t generally like having their photos taken so there are surprisingly few of us together.

Now the other thing I need to talk about is: I am away all this next week. Deb, Lu and I are having a week’s holiday in ‘The Apple Isle.’
For those of you who don’t know that is the smallest Australian State, namely Tasmania.

I don’t know how often I will have internet access in the land of the Tasmanian Devil (they really do exist). So it is possible you may not hear from me until I get home in a bit over a week.

One last thing, I haven’t had time to respond to the wonderful comments people have left on my last couple of posts. I promise I will as soon as possible.

Al Goes in Circles Or 199 Posts. And Al asks a favour

Back on the 8th of July last year I posted my first ever blog post.

Tonight I am posting my 199th post.

Which means my next post is my 200th post!

So not quite 200 post ago I was saying a few things about myself and posting some of my piccies.

Including this one:The above piccie is one of my favourite ever photos. Not only because I am happy with the way it came out but also because I really like the place it was taken. And I was having a great day that day.

Now apart from going in circles with the piccie, I thought I would go in circles in another way and make my 200th post about me.

But just to make it a bit different I will get you, my dear readers, to participate. What I thought was I will make this celebratory post one where I answer questions about me.

So what I would like is for you to ask me a question (or several if you chose). It can be about anything, but preferably it will be about me.

Then in my next post I will do my best to answer what ever questions you have for me.

Now another piccie because I can.
