a little Dante...

after 10 years service at my school, I have now begun long service leave...
I don't return to school until early October...
Some wonderful students in my Year 8 English class gave me this as a parting gift...
I am still amazed at their kindness and beautiful words on a card...


some reading
from classical worlds

when the darkness lifts...

I have been so busy lately completing school reports (and the weather has been filled with icy rain),
that travels with my camera have been rather limited...
But I thought this morning's light on my back verandah was quite scenic...


when the darkness lifts
any light
is beautiful
