Life as we knew it

I have just got a Sony Arc Experia smartphone which has a 8 megapixel camera. Here are some of the first shots taken with it

Bees in the garden

Loca Vore Cafe in Stiling. Great concept. Saving food miles

 'research revealed that food items like oranges, sausages, tea, baked beans etc with ingredients sourced from overseas have seen more of the world than most people. The report estimates that the total distance travelled by 29 of our most common food items is 70,803 km—that's nearly two times the distance around the Earth.

Calculating road transport alone, the shopping basket travelled 21,073 km, almost the whole way around Australia's coastline. The resulting greenhouse gas emissions estimate for all food transporting trucks carrying these 25 items on any given day is the equivalent of 2,830 cars driving for a whole year. And that's just for one shopping basket of 25 items.' http://www.ceres.org.au/foodmilesreport

I photographed these roses on Sunday morning whilst walking in Crafers only to have it given to me later that afternoon as birthday present. Thanks Susan.
