Photo of the day: I'm baaaaaaaack.

And I have a thousand things to do. Because it's tax-return time (end of financial year for Australians!), Centrelink time, oh, and because I got accepted for my Masters of Communications so it's enrolment and organising books time, and it's getting back to emails and getting through 300 things in my reader and 200+ Dreamwidth entries time.


Oh, and processing over 300 photos time.

Winter 2011 photo journal; Day 1 - Big Brook Dam, Lavender Berry Farm

Big Brook Dam in Pemberton




( Not so many photos from the first day. It was very dark and gloomy, most of the time, and more than that - I was more interested in soaking up the general atmosphere and getting a read on the place, as I had never stayed in Pemberton before. )
