最近私はたいてい携帯電話で写真を取っています。なんでかいつもカメラを持っていないのですから。まぁそれでいいだろうな。

Monto community centre, a photo by d.yaro on Flickr.

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

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/

Candle light for Earth Hour 2011

I turned off the lights and lit the candles...but my iMac remained lit because I was downloading some stuff. If finally went into sleep mode after about 15-20 minutes.

March 20, 2011 - A Day in the Life of....

March 20 2011 - #1 a photo by d.yaro on Flickr.

Today was a "A Day in the Life of..." day as per a Flickr group I check in on once in a blue moon. I simply went about and captured a bunch of images which don't necessarily tell a story about the day. Nothing fancy. Some of the images are a bit whimsical. Others are attempts at capturing what seemed to be unusual or interesting. The set of photographs which I've uploaded and made public are here:

"Free Libya"

"Free Libya" a photo by d.yaro on Flickr.

I saw a headline somewhere today saying that the UN Security Council had approved a "No fly zone" over Libya. That'll be welcome news for these protesters.
