告別藍花楹 (Jacaranda) 季

今年的藍花楹(Jacaranda)季踏入尾聲,地上落花與日俱增。
趕緊出去轉一個圈,當作黃昏散步,拍幾株藍花楹樹留個紀念。

棉花樹

朋友看了今天晨運拍的照片,說是“棉花樹”。

真的,可遇不可求,雲形跟樹形幾乎一致,的確像棉花樹!

Embedding photos with Microsoft OneDrive

Microsoft OneDrive isn't my primary storage space for photos. But Google Photos, which I was forced to switch to since Google killed Picasa Web Albums, doesn't allow photo embedding, a feature crucial for maintaining a blog with lots of photos (have to use, instead, the "From the Google album archive" feature within Blogger). OneDrive does.

So, this is my first try with the photo embedding function of OneDrive, which is simple enough to use. Unlike Picasa, however, it doesn't allow clicking on the photo to jump to OneDrive for the original photo.

Ballina / Byron Bay 小旅行

剛從Ballina/Byron Bay小旅行回來。至此,Brisbane周邊約兩小時車程可達的多個海灘渡假區(北至Noosa,南至Ballina)都去過了。


Ballina/Byron Bay雖離Brisbane不太遠,可已是離開了Queensland,進入了New South Wales州範圍。由於NSW行夏令時間,而我們不,所以去程“損失”了一小時時間,兩天後回來時才賺回來。

兩者比較,Byron Bay大名鼎鼎,Ballina只是附近不那麼起眼的小城,但海灘,陽光,應有的都有齊。








Byron Bay從70年代嬉皮風起家,到今天已是以另類生活包裝,實則非常中產化的渡假區,住宿較昂貴,連泊車也處處要付費。不過,澳洲最東端的燈塔那邊景色很美。燈塔每半小時有免費導覽,不容錯過,燈塔上的景觀比在地上更開揚。





離Byron Bay不遠的內陸小鎮Mullumbimby(我們在此稍停,並吃午餐),當年也是得益自嬉皮文化,今天倒還能看到點點痕跡。
