Weekly Wrap 773: Remembering a little train in the sunshine

On a bright sunny day a pair of diesel railcars sit at a station platform in the open air. They’re silver, with their flat noses painted bright yellow, and just behind that a red stripe and a a small flash of blue.

My week of Monday 17 to Sunday 23 March 2025 wasn’t hugely productive but I’ve started planning more things. I also thought back to 2018, for some reason. Have a train.

Weekly Wrap 771: Never mind the productivity, feel the parrot

It’s a wet day in a eucalypt forest. On an old tree stump sits a pair of birds eating a handful of seed. On the left, the male bird has red head, breast, and lower undersides, with a blue band on the back of the neck between the red above and green on the back, the wings are green and each has a pale green shoulder band, the tail is green, and the rump is blue. On the right, the female has a green head and breast, a grey beak, and the pale shoulder band is small or absent

Productivity started to return during my week of Monday 3 to Sunday 9 March 2025, but not entirely. So here’s a photo of two king parrots and some links and stuff. There’s also a video of a grey butcherbird.

Weekly Wrap 720: Wrapping up a podcast series, performing some geekery, and remembering a random cruise ship

This week, Monday 11 to Sunday 17 March 2024, I wrapped up my summer series of podcasts and dealt with a chunk of geekery for a couple of clients. That left no time for any proper photography, apart from more damn birds and other critters, and you’ve seen enough of them lately. That’s why you’re looking at a ship from 2018. Exciting.
