I was lucky enough to get away for a few days up to Lake Tyrrell with the fabulous FFM (Famous Flickr Melbournians). Some- one else took this image of all of us together at sunrise and I really like it.

This is what I miss most about photography.

I mean shadowy friends in the most complimentary way-they were always in the shadows looking out for me, making sure I was Ok. Despite my tears and frustration, they remind me of how far I have come, that I could not have done this a few months ago. Darkness is not my friend; neither is tiredness or stress so sunset and sunrise are difficult. All my stability and balance now come through my eyes and when that is disturbed, darkness or bright light, I don’t function well. But I did it and enjoyed every second of it.

I think what I enjoyed as much was the leisurely breakfasts and afternoon teas at our accommodation where our topics of conversations went anywhere and everywhere.
So thanks my shadowy friends for doing what you did for me this weekend.
