A Perfect Summer's Day

As you must have guessed by the title, today was a really nice one. Although the temperature was a bit hot, there was a gentle breeze blowing that counteracted the heating effect. I decided to join my sisters in the dam this morning, and I had a great time. Most of the fun was caused by some water flippers, like the ones used to go snorkeling. They allowed me to go much faster than I normally could with no flippers. Once I took the flippers off though, my feet felt a bit strange. It would be like swimming with your hands for a while, then cutting them off and trying to swim without them.

The Slasher

Today, and for the past 3 days, we have had a slasher slashing our paddocks. Today he was raking up all the grass, as you can see by the photos below.

The Tripod

Now, about the tripod. From what I can read on the tripod, it is a Gitza–Gilux, Weekend–Performance, made in France. The head that we put on it is a Manfrotto, made in Italy. It is a fairly small tripod, with 2 extra leg sections to make it taller. The head is a bit big for it, as the tripod that I have didn’t come with a head. Because of that we had to take the head off another tripod that my dad had. I think the most useful things for it will be taking long exposure and supermacro shots. You can see some photos of it below.
