At dusk...
04.25.06 (12:49 am)   [edit]

 

Two days ago, at dusk, in my front garden:

A peewee at dusk

(A peewee being noisy.)

Elegant gumleaves

(Elegant gumleaves.)

Gumnuts, sunset in background

(Gumnuts, with sunset in the background.)

More gumnuts

(More gumnuts.)

I watched King Kong, starring Australian actress Naomi Watts, & Flightplan, starring Jodie Foster, Saturday night. 

I enjoyed Flightplan the most.  Wouldn't we all love to have more knowledge than those around us?

I was impressed t hat King Kong had more realistic dinosaur movements than any other movie I've seen.  There was only one computer simulation/animation that seemed fake, & that was of a native swinging on vines towards the ship, although his last swing looked realistic enough.  I was also impressed with the depth of feeling shown in Kong's face.  A friend of mine cried three or four times when watching KK!  hehe

Last night I went out to dinner with friends.  Bring on the smoking ban in clubs, I say, the sooner the better!  I don't like having to breathe it in, nor my hair & clothing smelling of smoke afterwards.

Today has been a busy day (& night) of meetings, work, & driving in & out of town three times.  I even received a call from Today Tonight (tv current affairs show) this afternoon!

The really like the third picture, (Gumnuts, with sunset in the background.) looks so proffesional.

Flightplan was an enjoying movie indeed. King Kong seemed so boring to watch.

Thank-you for complimenting my photos, LadyG. :-) No, I'm not a professional photographer, but I do like to share the beauty of my surrounds in this way. I haven't read my digital camera's instruction manual yet, & I'm sure there is a whole lot more to discover, eg how to photograph in macro (small items, up close), & how to capture fast moving objects (like the butterflies).
I've thought for years about getting a bird & teaching it to talk, & after reading about Victor, the budgie who could truly communicate & understand, I'm more keen - however I might wait until the children leave home, which is only about five years - but then I might travel again, so .... ?

Hi there I know Andy Serkis who's face was used to digitally make Kong he was also Gollum In LOTR, he is a great guy and lovable.
I too liked Flightplan a retake on the old Agathe Christie film Lady Vanishes, love your pictures they are awesome. Janey
