I hope you can find the dialogue that goes with these photos. We were supposed to put two side by side but I’m not technically savvy to work out how to do that. Even as thumbnails using left and right they went at different levels so I thought I’d prefer to see the full size image rather than teensy ones. Would love to know what you think the dialogue or even the title may be.

Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Well Irene, having just commented on your daffodil post about the weather improving it looks as if you have had some flooding! But of course this might not be recent. In this case, I would say it’s you and I pulling on our boots and chatting about getting ready for that walk. If we are brave enough that is to wade through where it isn’t too deep…but we’ll do our best 😉

This was the bad weather we were having last weekend. Sadly I don’t think you could pick that the camera was eventually underwater and one was taken level with the surface. I call it a study in submerging but I will have to do better.

Oh yes, of course, silly me, I do see it now. I took it to mean you were taking close-ups of the water to show how deep it was from the flooding. Your camera must be waterproof then? I have no idea what to do for this challenge, but I think you came up with a great idea. Sorry though for the bad weather, hope it was better for you this past weekend…

I just bought it from Aldi for a song. It is the little camera that is in the daffodil photo and its packaging is the mess lying around. I was dying to try it out so the rain came at the perfect time as it is a trifle cold yet for me to go swimming although the sea temperature is 21 degrees.

Torrential rains? Looks like a whole lotta water…hopefully not over the top of your wellies.

Yes last weekend the rains fell but I unsuccessfully presented a study in submerging as the photos got progressively closer to the water with the last one under the water. 🙂

🙂 Must admit it took me a while to figure it out! Liked your rainy day images!

Thanks Tina. Glad you got the submerging dialogue.

I like how they were arranged–I caught the dialog! And a beautiful expression it is!

Charli did you get that they were getting closer to the water with the last one under the water? I don’t think I portrayed it too well.

Blow. I failed then. I was submerging as I walked with the second last at eye level and the last under water. I will have to do better. 🙂

But now I go back and look again, OF COURSE you can tell. Ignore me: I’m a complete maroon, Irene !
It was unexpected, that’s all. And as I get older I become totally literal and single-focussed. 😦
