The admin of the ABC Wide Bay group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/abcwidebay/) on Flickr asked to have this photo added to the group. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the group is really affiliated with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. http://www.abc.net.au/widebay/

Spot the wallaby, a photo by d.yaro on Flickr.

It's pretty well dead in the centre of the photograph. Taken while driving around in the Awoonga Lake area near Gladstone, Queensland. Anyways, I've almost finished uploading all my Australia and Fiji vacation pics. It only took me about two months to accomplish that...

木曜会お花見

"Sakura tags on a sakura tree", a photo by d.yaro on Flickr.

Yesterday was the 27th annual Mokuyokai "Ohanami" held at the Asian Studies building and Nitobe Gardens at UBC, Vancouver. Feature activities were Japanese tea ceremonies, shakuhachi and koto performances, "kamishibai" storytelling, "origami" (paper folding) lessons, and the opportunity to try on "yutaka", traditional Japanese cotton robes. Turn out was pretty good in spite of the cool weather. The above shot was taken just around the corner from the entrance to Nitobe Gardens. Unfortunately my camera was uncooperative (claimed there was insufficient battery charge even though it was showing it as half charged) so I didn't take many photos.... http://www.flickr.com/photos/8936205@N02/sets/72157626346444875/
