An excerpt from my closing speech at (my last ever) graduation ceremony.

Back to my photos... Looking west just after sunset is a (roughly) two-day old #moon just above the Hughenden QLD horizon. The best I ever managed was about 1.5 days old.

A pachliopta aristolochiae #swallowtail. Photo at Lake Paluma QLD, which is not its usual range in Southeast Asia.

I'm revisiting old photos, from when I had fun roaming the outdoors.
